Product Detail
Product Introduction
Source ASTM B863 titanium wire in multiple grades and diameters, supplied as coil, spool or straight length with traceability. Final supply is controlled by the grade, specification revision, dimensions, condition, tolerance, inspection and documentation stated on the approved order.
How should ASTM B863 titanium wire be specified?
Selection answer: Begin with the exact titanium grade and ASTM B863 revision, then define diameter, tolerance, condition, surface and delivery form. Coil, spool and straight-length products can require different controls for cast, helix, straightness and package weight.
Selection boundary: Do not use ASTM B863 as a substitute for a welding-filler classification. When the wire will be consumed as filler metal, name the required AWS A5.16 or ISO 24034 classification and welding documentation expressly.
RFQ data to confirm: For an RFQ, send grade and UNS, diameter, tolerance, condition, coil or spool data, unit weight, application, quantity, MTC, heat traceability and any mechanical, dimensional or surface inspection requirements.
Product Specifications
| Product | ASTM B863 Titanium Wire | Grade | Commercially pure and alloy grades subject to the product specification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ASTM B863/B863M controls titanium and titanium-alloy wire ordered by grade, dimensions and condition. Welding filler classification is a separate requirement under AWS A5.16 / ISO 24034 and must not be inferred from ASTM B863 compliance. | Size & Form | Existing range includes 0.1–20 mm diameter; coil, spool and straight-length options |
| Tolerance | ASTM B863 or customer drawing; diameter, ovality and straightness confirmed by RFQ | Supply Condition | Bright or pickled surface, coil, spool or straight length |
| Inspection | Review the MTC, heat/lot identity, chemistry and mechanical results against the ordered grade; verify diameter and tolerance, coil or spool identity, surface, cast and helix where relevant, straightness for cut lengths, package weight and required supplementary inspection. | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and agreed inspection reports |

FAQ
Does ASTM B863 automatically qualify titanium wire as welding filler?
No. ASTM B863 is a product specification for titanium wire. Welding filler must be ordered to the applicable AWS A5.16 or ISO 24034 classification, with the filler grade, package and welding-procedure requirements stated separately.
Which titanium grade should be specified for ASTM B863 wire?
Select the grade from the required chemistry, strength, forming, corrosion and end-use requirements. Grade 2 is a common commercially pure option; Grade 5 provides higher strength; Grade 7 and Grade 12 address selected corrosion service; Grade 23 is the ELI Ti-6Al-4V grade.
What information is needed to quote ASTM B863 titanium wire?
Provide ASTM B863 revision, titanium grade and UNS, diameter and tolerance, condition, coil, spool or straight-length form, unit weight, surface, quantity, application, inspection, MTC and heat/lot traceability requirements.
