ASTM B338 Gr.2 Extruded Finned Tube With Al1060 Fins For Oil & Gas Heat Exchangers
This is a high-performance heat exchanger tube combining a titanium base tube (ASTM B338 Gr.2) with aluminum fins (Al1060) through an extrusion process.
1. Base Tube: ASTM B338 Gr.2 (Titanium)
Material: ASTM B338 Grade 2 is commercially pure titanium (CP Ti, UNS R50400).
Properties:
Excellent corrosion resistance (especially in seawater, chlorides, acids).
High strength-to-weight ratio.
Good thermal conductivity (lower than copper but better than steel).
Used in marine, chemical, and power industries where corrosion is a concern.
(1). Chemical Composition (ASTM B338 Gr.2)
The composition follows ASTM B338 specifications for Grade 2 titanium:
Element | Weight % (Max) |
Titanium (Ti) | Balance (≥ 98.9%) |
Nitrogen (N) | 0.03% |
Carbon (C) | 0.08% |
Hydrogen (H) | 0.015% |
Iron (Fe) | 0.30% |
Oxygen (O) | 0.25% |
Key Notes:
Low interstitial elements (O, N, C) ensure good ductility & weldability.
Iron (Fe) improves strength slightly but is kept low for corrosion resistance.
(2). Mechanical Properties (ASTM B338 Gr.2)
Typical mechanical properties for seamless & welded tubes (annealed condition):
Property | Value |
Tensile Strength (min) | 345 MPa (50 ksi) |
Yield Strength (0.2% offset, min) | 275 MPa (40 ksi) |
Elongation (min, in 50mm) | 20% |
Hardness (Rockwell B, max) | 80 HRB |
Modulus of Elasticity | 105 GPa (15.2 x 10⁶ psi) |
Additional Notes:
Excellent toughness even at cryogenic temperatures.
Non-magnetic and biocompatible (used in medical applications).
Corrosion resistance: Outstanding in seawater, chlorides, and acidic environments.
2. Fins: Al1060 Aluminum
Material: 99.6% pure aluminum with high thermal conductivity (~230 W/m·K).
Fin Type: Extruded fins (mechanically bonded to the titanium tube for durability).
Why Aluminum on Titanium?
Aluminum improves heat transfer efficiency while keeping costs lower than all-titanium fins.
The extrusion process ensures a strong bond without welding.
3. Key Features & Advantages
✔ Corrosion Resistance – Ideal for seawater-cooled condensers, desalination plants, and chemical processing.
✔ Lightweight – Titanium + aluminum reduces weight vs. steel tubes.
✔ Thermal Performance – Aluminum fins enhance heat dissipation.
✔ Long Service Life – Resistant to pitting, crevice corrosion, and erosion.
