Why PHE-Oriented Titanium Sheet Evaluation Matters
For plate heat exchanger projects, customers usually focus not only on basic Grade 1 supply, but also on grain structure, forming behavior and consistency during pressing.
| Technical Focus | General Grade 1 Titanium Sheet Supply | GAOFA PHE-Oriented Evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| Chemistry Control | General Grade 1 supply requirements | ✓ Fe 0.023% / O 0.043% reference values for evaluation |
| Grain Structure | Not always evaluated with PHE plate pressing as the main focus | ✓ Average grain size level 9.0 on current representative sample |
| Forming Evaluation | Basic Grade 1 supply may still require customer-side forming verification | ✓ Reference elongation 61–65% and Erichsen 11.2–11.6 mm |
| Project Approach | General industrial titanium sheet supply | ✓ Plate pressing evaluation, cut-size support and trial discussion |
| Final Validation | Requires project-specific confirmation | ✓ Customer tooling trial recommended for critical PHE plate applications |
Note: The table above is intended to explain evaluation focus for plate heat exchanger projects. Final suitability should be confirmed under the customer’s actual tooling, plate pattern and forming conditions.
What to Review Before Confirming Grade 1 Titanium Sheet
Titanium sheet for PHE plates should be reviewed together with customer tooling, plate pattern and forming conditions. This checklist helps buyers prepare a more complete evaluation before sample pressing or regular production.
| Review Item | Why It Matters for PHE Plate Pressing | Buyer Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Grade and Standard | Confirms Grade 1 / UNS R50250 and ASTM B265 / ASME SB265 reference direction. | Confirm whether the project requires ASTM, ASME, EN or customer-specific approval. |
| Thickness and Cut Size | Affects pressing force, corrugation forming, final plate strength and gasket groove design. | Send thickness, width, length, cut size tolerance and sample sheet size if needed. |
| Annealed / Soft Condition | Supports forming and pressing consistency for corrugated plate patterns. | Confirm required condition before production and sample trial. |
| Elongation and Erichsen Cupping | Useful for reviewing forming behavior, deep drawing tendency and trial pressing risk. | Customer tooling trial is still recommended for critical plate patterns. |
| Grain Size and Microstructure | Helps review forming consistency and surface behavior after pressing. | Metallographic review can be discussed when required. |
| Surface and Packing | Surface defects, scratches and poor packing may affect downstream plate pressing and appearance. | Confirm surface protection, packing method and shipment handling requirements. |

What Matters in Titanium Sheet Evaluation for Plate Pressing
In practical PHE plate manufacturing, the key points are not only titanium grade, but also chemistry cleanliness, elongation, cupping performance, hardness level, grain uniformity and consistency during forming.
Our current reference data show clean chemistry, high elongation, good cupping performance and uniform microstructure, which support Grade 1 titanium sheet evaluation for plate heat exchanger plate production.
For critical projects, we recommend forming trials on the customer’s own tooling to confirm performance under actual plate pressing conditions.
Inspection and Evaluation Support for Titanium Sheet
For titanium sheet used in PHE plate pressing, inspection can include chemical composition review, tensile test review, Erichsen cupping, hardness, grain size / metallographic review, thickness inspection, surface inspection, MTC review and packing protection.
Applications of Titanium Sheet for Plate Heat Exchanger Plates
Grade 1 titanium sheet is mainly considered when the plate heat exchanger will work in corrosive media or when the plate manufacturer requires thin titanium sheet for pressing corrugated heat transfer plates.
