What Is Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium Used For?

Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium (ASTM B265 / ASTM F67) is specified where the duty calls for building electrodes, anodes, current collectors and corrosion-proof screens from expanded and woven titanium mesh. The sections below cover the typical end-uses by industry, the mesh, micron and material decisions for each, installation practice, and the applications this product type is not suited to.

Typical Applications for Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium

Where Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium is specified and bought:

  • Electrolysis & hydrogen: anode and cathode substrates and porous transport layers.
  • Electroplating: platinized and MMO-coated titanium anodes.
  • Chlorine & water treatment: anodes for electro-chlorination.
  • Medical & marine: implants and seawater-resistant screens.

How to Specify Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium for Your Application

  • Form: Expanded titanium for rigidity, woven titanium for fine openings.
  • Grade: Gr1 for forming and electrodes, Gr2 for strength.
  • Coating: Bare, platinized, or MMO (iridium/ruthenium) for anode duty.
  • Standard: Quote ASTM B265 / ASTM F67 and the size designation from the table on the product page, plus any value you changed in the technical drawing.

Handling & Installation Practice

  • Degrease and acid-etch before coating so the coating bonds.
  • Weld only under argon to avoid embrittlement.

Common Selection Mistakes with Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium

  • Welding in air, which makes joints brittle.
  • Using bare titanium as an anode, which passivates.

Where Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium Is Not the Right Choice

Not for hydrofluoric acid or dry chlorine gas, which attack titanium.

If This Construction Is Not the Right Fit

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium used for?

Building electrodes, anodes, current collectors and corrosion-proof screens from expanded and woven titanium mesh.

Why use titanium mesh?

It resists seawater and chlorides and is the base for coated anodes.

Expanded or woven titanium?

Expanded is rigid; woven gives fine openings.

Can titanium mesh be platinized?

Yes, or coated with mixed metal oxides.

Can I get a quote for Titanium Mesh & Expanded Titanium to my own drawing?

Yes. Set the size and any custom value in the technical drawing on the product page and send it with the quote form; we reply within one business day.
