UNS is the abbreviation of ‘UNIFIED NUMBERING SYSTEM’, in short, UNS code replaces or supplements the product numbering system of the current standards, refer to ASTM E527 - Recommended Methods for Numbering Metals and Alloys (UNS).UNS numbering system is composed of UNS plus one letter and five Arabic numerals. The UNS numbering system is UNS plus a letter and five Arabic numerals. In general, the UNS numbering system is generally applicable to U.S. grade requirements, while the requirements of other countries may differ slightly from the material requirements of the UNS numbering system.
This article mainly introduces titanium and titanium alloys commonly and infrequently used codes corresponding to the U.S. grade, as well as China's titanium and titanium alloys grades TA, TB, TC series comparison.
Use the titanium alloy grades against the UNS code as follows:
