Titanium Grade 2 (Ti Gr 2 / 3.7035) is increasingly used in offshore energy applications due to its good properties. The following is an overview of its applications in this field:

Offshore wind turbines – Support structures: used in the construction of towers and foundations due to their high strength-to-weight ratio, helping to reduce overall weight and increase stability.
– Subsea parts: used for parts that need to be resistant to seawater corrosion, such as mooring systems and anchor chains.

Oil and gas platform – Structural beams and columns: used as frames for offshore platforms to provide strength and durability in harsh marine environments.
– Pipe systems: Pipes commonly used to transport oil, gas and water, where corrosion resistance is critical.

Submarine equipment – Riser and flowline: Used in subsea risers and flowlines to transport hydrocarbons from the seafloor to the surface, benefit from the corrosion resistance and strength of titanium.
– Subsea manifold: Structural section of a manifold used to manage the flow of oil and gas from multiple wells.

Ocean Renewable Energy Device – Wave energy converters: Structural components of equipment used to harness the energy of ocean waves, where durability and resistance to ocean conditions are crucial.
– Tidal energy systems: Benefit from titanium’s lightweight and corrosion-resistant properties for the construction of tidal turbines and related infrastructure.

1. Corrosion resistance: Excellent resistance to seawater and other corrosive environments, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the structure.
2. High strength-to-weight ratio: Reduces the overall weight of the structure and improves stability and performance in challenging offshore conditions.
3. Ductility: Good ductility allows flexible design and manufacturing, and adaptability to various structural requirements.
4. Low maintenance costs: The durability of titanium reduces the need for frequent maintenance, thereby lowering operating costs over time.
5. Temperature resistance: Maintains mechanical properties under different temperature conditions, suitable for dynamic offshore environments.

– Cost: The higher cost of titanium compared to traditional materials such as steel can be a limiting factor in some applications.
– Manufacturing technology: Requires specialized manufacturing processes, which may increase lead times and costs.
