DIN 17861: Titanium and titanium alloys-Drawn Wire

DIN 17861 specifies the technical delivery conditions for cold-drawn round wire made of titanium and titanium alloys. It applies to wire used in:

Aerospace components

Chemical industry

Welding filler materials

Medical devices

Springs, precision parts, and fasteners


Product Form

Product: Drawn wire (round cross-section)

Delivery Forms: Coils (spools), straight lengths

Surface finish: Clean, free from oxidation, cracks, and other surface defects

Production Method: Cold drawn from hot-rolled or forged rod


Typical Grades Covered

The standard includes commercially pure titanium and titanium alloys such as:

Grade

Alloy Type

Equivalent ASTM Grade

Ti Grade 1

Unalloyed, soft

ASTM Gr 1

Ti Grade 2

Unalloyed, standard

ASTM Gr 2

Ti Grade 5

Ti-6Al-4V

ASTM Gr 5

Ti Grade 9

Ti-3Al-2.5V

ASTM Gr 9

Ti Grade 23

Ti-6Al-4V ELI

ASTM Gr 23

Other alloys may also be specified depending on the application.


Dimensions and Tolerances

Diameter Range: Typically from 0.1 mm to 8 mm

Tolerance Class: Generally h9 or finer, depending on customer specification and application

Roundness and straightness: Must comply with DIN dimensional tolerances
