Yes. Titanium Grade 1 is fully biocompatible, non-toxic, and highly resistant to body fluids, making it suitable for certain implants, surgical instruments, dental devices, and medical hardware. Its superior corrosion resistance ensures long-term durability inside the human body. 

Titanium Grade 1 offers exceptional resistance to seawater corrosion, outperforming stainless steel and aluminum alloys even in long-term immersion. Its oxide layer naturally resists salt deposits, biofouling, and pitting corrosion. This makes it ideal for desalination systems, underwater housings, ship components, and offshore equipment. 

Yes. Titanium Grade 1 is the most weldable of all titanium grades due to its low oxygen content and high ductility. It forms strong, clean welds with minimal risk of cracking when performed in an inert atmosphere. XC Machining can supply welded and machined Grade 1 assemblies when projects require both forming and precision machining. 

Titanium Grade 1 has lower tensile strength compared to Grades 2, 3, 4, and Grade 5, but it compensates with superior ductility, corrosion resistance, and toughness. It is suitable for low to medium structural loads, chemical-processing structures, heat exchangers, and aerospace ducting. 

Titanium Grade 1 accepts a wide range of finishes including polishing, bead blasting, passivation, and anodizing. Because of its purity, it produces highly consistent anodized colors and smooth matte textures. XC Machining offers multiple finishing options depending on whether the goal is improved aesthetics, better wear resistance, or enhanced corrosion protection.
