Tariku Metals, a prominent manufacturer and supplier located in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, specializes in high-quality Titanium Grade 1 Forgings. These forgings are known for their impressive corrosion resistance, ductility, and weldability. As one of the softest and most malleable grades of titanium, Grade 1 is perfect for applications that demand exceptional resistance to oxidizing and mildly reducing environments. Tariku Metals ensures that their precision-engineered forgings meet rigorous international standards, guaranteeing consistent performance and durability. These forgings find their place in various sectors, including marine, chemical, aerospace, and medical, where reliability, lightweight strength, and longevity are essential. Tariku Metals is a trusted name for premium titanium components around the globe.
Titanium Grade 1 Forgings are primarily made up of titanium (about 99.5%), with only trace amounts of oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, hydrogen, and iron. This commercially pure titanium grade boasts the highest ductility and impact toughness among all titanium grades. It has a tensile strength ranging from approximately 240 to 350 MPa, a yield strength of around 170 MPa, and remarkable elongation (≥24%). The alloy is characterized by a low density (4.5 g/cm³), outstanding corrosion resistance in marine and chemical environments, and a melting point of about 1660°C. Its excellent formability and weldability make it perfect for creating complex forged shapes and components that handle pressure.

Titanium Grade 1 forgings are commonly used in aerospace, chemical processing, marine, medical, and automotive industries due to their excellent corrosion resistance, lightweight, high strength, and biocompatibility properties.
Titanium Grade 1 forgings are made by heating titanium billets, then shaping them using compressive forces like hammering or pressing, followed by precision machining to achieve the desired specifications.
Open-die forging for Titanium Gr 1 involves compressing heated titanium between flat or contoured dies, allowing metal to deform freely, producing strong, customized components with excellent structural integrity.
Titanium Grade 1 Forgings are extensively utilized in applications that demand exceptional corrosion resistance, lightweight properties, and good formability. They are particularly suited for heat exchangers, pressure vessels, condenser tubing, and piping systems in the marine and chemical industries. In aerospace, Grade 1 titanium is employed for airframe components and non-structural parts that require corrosion protection. The medical field also benefits from these forgings, using them for surgical instruments and implantable devices due to their biocompatibility. Additionally, titanium’s versatility makes it a go-to choice for various other applications where performance and reliability are key.
