Pure Titanium Mesh High-Performance Solutions for Medical, Industrial and Energy Applications
Pure Titanium Mesh (Gr1/Gr2)—The Material That Redefines Performance
In industries where reliability, durability, and precision are non-negotiable—medical implants, hydrogen production, and chemical processing—standard filtration or structural materials often fall short. Enter pure titanium mesh (Gr1/Gr2): a lightweight yet robust alloy (99.5%+ titanium) that combines exceptional corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and strength. At Duozhuang, we engineer this material into custom solutions—from woven meshes to precision-punched filters—tailored to your exact needs.
1. Why Pure Titanium Mesh (Gr1/Gr2) Stands Above
Titanium’s reputation as a “space-age metal” isn’t just marketing fluff. Gr1 and Gr2 (the most common pure titanium grades, per ASTM B348 standards) deliver unmatched performance across critical metrics:
- Strength-to-Weight Ratio: With a density of just 4.5 g/cm³ and minimum tensile strength of 345 MPa (Gr2), titanium mesh is 45% lighter than stainless steel but equally strong—ideal for aerospace and mobile medical devices.
- Corrosion Resistance: Titanium’s natural oxide layer (TiO₂) acts as a shield against acids (sulfuric, hydrochloric), chlorides (seawater), and oxidizers. Unlike stainless steel, it won’t rust or degrade in harsh environments.
- Biocompatibility: Gr1/Gr2 titanium is “biologically inert,” meaning it integrates seamlessly with human tissue. This makes it the gold standard for medical implants, avoiding immune rejection or infection risks common with polymer or coated alternatives.
- Thermal Stability: It retains strength from -269°C (liquid nitrogen) to 600°C, ensuring reliability in extreme industrial processes like metal smelting（But the strength of Gr2 will decrease above 300°C）.
2. Manufacturing Nuances: From Raw Material to Custom Solutions
Not all titanium mesh is created equal. At Duozhuang, we use three core techniques to match your application’s demands:
A. Woven Titanium Mesh—Precision for Diverse Needs
Woven from titanium wires (0.05–3.0 mm diameter), our titanium mesh products range from 1 to 400 mesh counts (with the finest openings as small as 0.05 mm) and are available in widths of 1–2 meters. Key variants include:
- White Titanium Mesh: Uncoated, natural titanium finish (≥99.5% purity). Preferred for medical implants (bone scaffolds) and food processing (hygiene-critical filtration).
- Black Titanium Mesh: Features a thin graphite emulsion coating applied during wire drawing. The coating reduces friction during installation (no titanium degradation) and is ideal for industrial filtration (oil/gas) or EMI shielding (aesthetics irrelevant).
Example: A 120-mesh white titanium mesh (0.09 mm wire) is widely used in hydrogen electrolyzers, balancing conductivity and corrosion resistance to extend electrode life by 30%.
B. Stretched Titanium Mesh—Lightweight Structural Solutions
Created by stretching slit titanium sheets into diamond-shaped patterns, stretched mesh offers:
- Low Weight: 30% lighter than woven alternatives while maintaining strength.
- Open Structure: Enhances airflow and liquid permeability—critical for aerospace grilles or battery cooling systems.
Use Case: A European aerospace manufacturer uses 200-mesh stretched titanium mesh in aircraft vents, reducing weight by 15 kg per unit without compromising durability.
C. Punching—Micro-Filtration Precision
Our CNC punching machines create 0.05 mm–precision apertures in titanium sheets, enabling:
- Micro-Filtration: For fuel systems, desalination plants, or pharmaceuticals, where particle capture down to 5μm is required.
- Custom Shapes: From circular to irregular apertures, we match your design for seamless integration.
Note: Stretched and punched meshes are primarily custom-made (lead time: 2–3 weeks) but we stock limited(e.g., 100×100 mm samples) for prototyping.
3. Transformative Applications Across Industries
Pure titanium mesh isn't a “one-size-fits-all” material—it's a versatile tool for solving high-stakes challenges:
Medical & Dental: Healing with Titanium
- Bone Regeneration: 3D-printed titanium mesh (0.2–0.4 mm thick, 60–80% porosity) supports jawbone or cranial repairs. Its porous structure allows bone ingrowth, while biocompatibility eliminates implant rejection risks. A 2023 study in Journal of Biomedical Materials Research found titanium mesh reduced post-surgery complications (e.g., exposure) by 40% vs. polymer alternatives.
- Dental Implants: Mesh scaffolds stabilize dental fixtures, accelerating osseointegration (bone-to-implant bonding).
Energy & Industrial: Powering the Future
- Hydrogen Production: Gr1 titanium mesh (120 mesh/0.09 mm wire) coated with platinum serves as durable, low-resistance electrolyzer electrodes. Its corrosion resistance ensures 10+ years of service in alkaline or PEM electrolyzers.
- Fuel Cells: Ultra-fine 200-mesh titanium mesh in fuel cell bipolar plates enhances gas diffusion while blocking contaminants.
Chemical Processing: Surviving the Harshest Conditions
From electro-winning (mining) to acid recovery, titanium mesh filters endure sulfuric, hydrochloric, and nitric acids. Expanded or punched variants handle slurries and high-flow corrosive liquids where woven meshes might clog.
