FAQ

1. Product and Material Specifications
Q: What types of titanium and titanium alloy products does RELIAB METAL primarily offer?
We specialize in providing high-quality titanium and titanium alloy raw materials, as well as deeply processed titanium products. Our core offerings include:
Titanium plates/strips: Commercially pure titanium plates (Gr1, Gr2) and titanium alloy plates (Gr5/Ti-6Al-4V, Gr7, Gr12, etc.);
Titanium bars/square bars: Medical-grade titanium bars, aerospace-grade titanium alloy bars, bright-finished bars, and polished bars;
Titanium tubes/welded pipes: Seamless titanium tubes, heat-exchanger-grade titanium tubes, and titanium alloy tubes;
Titanium wire/welding wire: Coiled wire and straight-cut wire;
Titanium forgings and custom-shaped components: Titanium rings, discs, flanges, and various parts manufactured according to specific technical drawings.
Q:What are the titanium grades you commonly use, and to which international standards do they correspond?
We can provide titanium materials conforming to American Standards
(ASTM/ASME), German Standards (DIN), and ISO standards:
Gr1 / Gr2: American Standard Grade 1 / Grade 2 (industrial pure titanium, excellent corrosion resistance, good formability);
Gr5: Corresponding to American Standard Grade 5 / Ti-6Al-4V (high-strength α-β type titanium alloy, widely used in aerospace and industry);
Gr7: American Standard Grade 7 / Ti-0.2Pd (titanium-palladium alloy, extremely strong resistance to strong acid corrosion);
Gr12: American Standard Grade 12 / Ti-0.3Mo-0.8Ni (titanium-molybdenum-nickel alloy, excellent resistance to crevice corrosion);
Ti-6.5Al-1Mo-1V-2Zr: High-temperature titanium alloy, commonly used in aerospace structural components.
Q:What are the main differences between pure titanium and titanium alloys? How should I choose between them?
Commercially pure titanium (e.g., Gr1, Gr2): Characterized by high purity, excellent ductility, and ease of forming and welding, it also offers superior corrosion resistance. It is highly suitable for chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, marine engineering applications, and medical-grade titanium components.
Titanium alloys (e.g., Gr5): By incorporating elements such as aluminum and vanadium, the tensile strength and hardness of the material are significantly enhanced, though its formability is slightly lower than that of commercially pure titanium. These alloys are ideal for high-stress components that demand an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio (such as aerospace parts, racing vehicle components, and high-end sports equipment).

2. Technical Standards and Quality Systems
Q: What quality certifications and standards do RELIAB METAL products meet?
Our company adheres strictly to international quality management systems in its production processes. Its products are fully compliant with the following standards:
ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management System certification;
American standards: ASTM B265 (titanium plates), ASTM B348 (titanium bars), ASTM B338 (titanium tubes), and ASTM F67/F136 (for medical applications).
Q: Is a Material Test Certificate (MTC) provided with each shipment?
Yes, every shipment from RELIAB METAL includes a Material Test Certificate (MTC) that complies with the EN 10204 3.1 standard. The certificate contains details such as chemical composition analysis, mechanical property testing (tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, etc.), results from ultrasonic or hydrostatic testing, and heat number traceability information.
Q: Is third-party testing (such as by SGS, TUV, or BV) supported?
We offer full support upon client request, we can facilitate sampling and chemical/mechanical property testing by third-party inspection agencies (such as SGS, TÜV, BV, or national standard testing centers), with the test reports sent directly to the client.

3. Custom Processing and Technical Services
Q: What deep-processing and secondary-processing services does RELIAB Metal offer?
We operate a comprehensive processing facility, offering a one-stop solution for our clients:
Cutting and Trimming: Laser cutting, waterjet cutting, wire EDM, shearing, and saw cutting;
Surface Treatment: Pickling, sandblasting, polishing, anodizing (with coloring), and micro-arc oxidation;
Precision Machining: CNC turning, milling, drilling, and tapping;
Welding and Forming: Titanium pipe welding, elbow fabrication, and welding of titanium vessel components.
Q: What is the process for custom manufacturing based on technical drawing?
The custom drawing process is as follows:
Submission of Drawings: The client provides 2D (PDF/DWG) or 3D (STEP/IGS) drawings, specifying tolerance requirements.
Engineering Assessment: The technical team evaluates the manufacturing process and feasibility, providing a quotation within 24 hours.
Sample Confirmation: Once the drawings are approved by both parties, sample production and testing are arranged.
Mass Production: Following the approval of the samples, mass production and delivery are carried out.

4. Order and Packaging Logistics
Q: What is the price? Are free samples available? What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?
For stock items in standard specifications (such as standard titanium plates or rods), there is no minimum order quantity (MOQ); Orders can be placed starting from a single unit. For items with non-standard specifications or those requiring custom processing, the MOQ will be determined through consultation with the client, based on the specific material and the complexity of the processing involved.
Free samples are available for standard-specification products (with the client responsible only for the shipping costs).
Q: What is the typical production and delivery lead time?
In-stock products: Shipped within 1–3 business days after receipt of confirmed payment.
Customized/cut-to-size items (standard specifications): 5–7 business days.
Large-volume orders or complex machined parts: 15–25 business days (subject to the terms specified in the contract).

5. After-Sales Guarantee and Support
How should I proceed if the product I receive has quality or sizing issues?
Our company assumes full quality responsibility for all materials sold:
Should you discover any dimensional deviations, surface defects, or material properties that fail to meet standards upon receipt of the goods, please contact us within 30 days and provide relevant photographs or test data. Once verified, we will offer an unconditional return, exchange, or replacement, and we will cover all associated shipping costs.
