Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 28401 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 79, Light metals and their alloys, Subcommittee
SC 11, Titanium.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 28401:2010(E)

Light metals and their alloys — Titanium and titanium alloys —
Classification and terminology

1 Scope
This International Standard gives a classification of titanium and titanium alloys. It also gives terms and
definitions in the field of titanium and its alloys.
2 Material
2.1
titanium sponge
products of metallic titanium in porous and sponge-like form, which is applied as titanium metal melting stock
NOTE The oxidized titanium ore is first chlorinated to tetrachloride and is condensed and purified and then reduced with
magnesium or sodium under the inert atmosphere to produce titanium sponge.
2.2
alloy
metallic substance consisting of a mixture of the basic metallic element (the element predomination by mass)
and other elements, such as alloying elements and impurities
2.3
alloying element
metallic or non-metallic elements intentionally added to, or retained by, basic metal for the purpose of giving
that metal certain special properties
2.4
impurity
metallic or non-metallic elements present but which are not intentionally added to, or retained by, a metal
2.5
wrought alloy
alloy primarily intended for the production of wrought products by hot and/or cold plastic forming
2.6
casting alloy
alloy primarily intended for the production of castings
2.7
master alloy
alloy intended only for addition to a melt to adjust composition or to control impurities
2.8
heat-treatable alloy
alloy capable of being strengthened by a suitable thermal treatment
2.9
non-heat-treatable alloy
alloy strengthened by cold working only and incapable of being substantially strengthened by thermal treatment

ISO 28401:2010(E)
3 Specific terms and definitions
3.1
intermediate-strength alloys
alloys with improved properties due to a limited percentage of alloying elements enhancing mechanical
resistance and, from case to case, also corrosion resistance
3.2

alloys with properties similar to the alloy work-horse Ti-6Al-4V (Al ≈ 6 %, V ≈ 4 %), well defined and used with
experience

formed from titanium sponge and alloying elements or consolidated from recycled and processed scrap,
normally to be remelted finally at least once under a vacuum or in argon
4.3
ingot for rolling
titanium ingot in a form suitable for rolling, melted by EB, VAR, VASM or PM methods applied for at least the
final cycle under a vacuum or in argon
4.4
ingot for extruding
titanium ingot in a form suitable for extrusion of bars, tubes and slaps melted by EB, VAR, VASM or PM
methods applied for at least the final cycle under a vacuum or in argon
4.5
ingot for forging
titanium ingot in a form suitable for forging, melted by EB, VAR, VASM or PM methods applied for at least the
final cycle under a vacuum or in argon
4.6
ingot for remelting
titanium ingot in a form suitable for remelting after having been processed metallurgically for composition,
melted by EB, VAR, VASM or PM methods applied for at least the final cycle under a vacuum or in argon
5 Wrought products
5.1
wrought product
general term for products obtained by hot and/or cold plastic deformation processes, such as extruding,
forging, hot rolling, cold rolling or drawing, either solely or in combination

ISO 28401:2010(E)
EXAMPLES Rod/bar, billets, wire, tube, shape/profile, sheet, plate, strip, foils, die forgings, open die forgings.
NOTE For the classification principles of wrought products, see Annex B.
5.2
billets
2
solid wrought product of uniform cross-section that is above 10 000 mm along its whole length, supplied in
straight lengths
NOTE The cross-sections are in the shape of circles, ovals, squares, rectangles, equilateral triangles or regular
polygons. Products with a square, rectangular, triangular or polygonal cross-section may have corners rounded along their
whole length.
5.3
rod/bar
2
solid wrought product of uniform cross-section that is under 10 000 mm along its whole length, supplied in
straight lengths
NOTE 1 The cross-sections are in the shape of circles, ovals, squares, rectangles, equilateral triangles or regular
polygons. Products with a square, rectangular, triangular or polygonal cross-section may have corners rounded along their
whole length.
NOTE 2 For rectangular bars:
— the thickness exceeds one-third of the width;
— the term “rectangular bar” includes “flattened circles” and “modified rectangles”, of which two opposite sides are
convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length and parallel.
5.4
wire
solid wrought product of uniform cross-section along its whole length, supplied in coiled form
NOTE 1 The cross-sections are in the shape of circles, ovals, squares, rectangles, equilateral triangles or regular
polygons. Products with a square, rectangular, triangular, or polygonal cross-section may have corners rounded along
their whole length.
NOTE 2 For rectangular wires:
— the thickness exceeds one-third of the width;
— the term “rectangular wire” includes “flattened circles” and “modified rectangles”, of which two opposite sides are
convex arcs, the other two sides being straight, of equal length and parallel.
5.5
drawing stock
intermediate solid wrought product of uniform cross-section along its whole length supplied in coils
NOTE The cross-sections are approximately round, triangular or regular polygonal with dimensions usually exceeding
5 mm.
5.6
tube
hollow wrought product of uniform cross-section with only one enclosed hollow space along its whole length,
and with a uniform wall thickness, supplied in straight lengths or in coiled form
NOTE 1 The cross-sections are in the shape of circles, ovals, squares, rectangles, equilateral triangles or regular
polygons. Hollow products with square, rectangular, equilateral triangular or regular polygonal cross-sections, which may
have corners rounded along their whole length, are also to be considered as tubes, provided the inner and outer
peripheries are concentric and have the same form and orientation.
NOTE 2 Tubes can also be formed by piercing trespassing and by forming and joining sheet or strip.
NOTE 3 Bent, threaded, drilled, waisted, expanded and cone-shaped hollow products in this form, when derived from
tubes as defined above, are classified as tubes.

NOTE 2 Corrugated, embossed (with patterns, for example, grooves, ribs, checkers, tears, buttons, lozenges), coated,
edge conditioned and perforated products in this general form when derived from strip as defined above are classified as
strip.
NOTE 3 In some English-speaking countries, “strip” is called “coiled sheet”.
5.11
foil
flat-rolled product of rectangular cross-section with uniform thickness equal to or less than 0,20 mm
NOTE In some countries, the term “foil” covers two different products:
— foil: products with lesser thickness;
— thin strip: products with greater thickness.
The dimensional limitations between these two products may vary from country to country.
5.12
