Titanium Grade Options

Cascadia titanium rings are available in the two most common grades of titanium: Aerospace Grade 5 (Ti 6Al/4V alloy) and the Commercially Pure (CP Grade 2). Either grade makes an attractive, strong, light weight ring.

The natural color of titanium is a cool silver-gray. Its tone is comparable to platinum or stainless steel, but with a slightly darker complexion. Titanium does not match silver or white gold, which are lighter in color.

Aerospace Grade 5 is alloyed (90% Ti, 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium) and harder than CP grade, with a tensile strength of over 130,000 psi. Grade 5's color tone is a bit lighter and it will take a slightly higher polish due to its alloy composition and greater hardness. When anodized, aerospace grade titanium colors are slightly more vibrant than CP grade titanium colors.

CP Grade 2 is 98.99% pure, unalloyed titanium. This grade is slightly darker and softer than the Aerospace Grade 5. It has a tensile strength of over 40,000 psi.

You may order your titanium ring in either grade - the cost is the same.
