Product Introduction
Grade 3 titanium wire is a form of pure titanium material, primarily consisting of approximately 98% titanium, along with minor amounts of other elements such as oxygen and iron. It conforms to the production standard ASTM B863 and can have a surface finish that is either polished or subjected to pickling treatment. The diameter of Grade 3 titanium wire can range from 0.1mm to 6mm, and this titanium material can be processed by drawing or extrusion to create various shapes.
Recognized for its high strength, exceptional resistance to corrosion, and low density, Grade 3 titanium wire is a favored material for a wide array of applications. These include, but are not limited to, components in the aerospace and aviation industry, medical implants, equipment used in chemical processing, and sporting goods.

Introduction
The production process for GR3 titanium wire generally involves several key steps, as outlined below:
1. Melting: The initial phase in creating titanium wire is melting the titanium metal within a furnace. An arc furnace or vacuum furnace is typically employed to heat the titanium sponge to elevated temperatures until it liquefies.
2. Forming: Post-melting, the liquid titanium is poured into a mold where it solidifies into an ingot. This ingot is usually cylindrical and can measure several feet in length with a diameter of several inches.
3. Rolling: The ingot undergoes reheating and is then passed through a rolling mill to be transformed into a slender round bar. This rolling step not only reduces the thickness of the metal but also enhances its grain structure, which boosts its strength and flexibility.
4. Drawing: The round bar is subsequently pulled through a series of dies to decrease its diameter, resulting in the formation of GR3 titanium wire. This drawing process may involve multiple stages to achieve the desired wire diameter.
5. Annealing: After reaching the final diameter, the GR3 titanium wire is annealed to increase its pliability and eliminate any residual stress within the material. Annealing involves heating the wire to a high temperature followed by a gradual cooling process.
6. Finishing: The final step is to clean and refine the titanium wire to remove surface impurities or flaws. This cleaning process may include treatments such as polishing or pickling.
