Ticon Industries 3.5in Diameter x 48in Length 1.2mm/.047in Wall Thickness Titanium Tube

CP1 Grade Titanium Straight Tube for Custom Exhaust, Fuel Line, and Hanger Fabrication

The Ticon Industries TIC102-08944-0000 is a 3.5-inch outer diameter, 48-inch length, 1.2mm (0.047 inch) wall thickness titanium straight tube precision CNC seam welded from CP1 (Commercially Pure Grade 1) titanium for a consistent wall thickness throughout the full 48-inch length.

CP1 titanium provides excellent corrosion resistance, a low density for weight-conscious builds, and high formability for mandrel bending and TIG welding in custom exhaust, fuel line, and hanger fabrication applications. Every TIC102-08944-0000 tube is individually cleaned, wrapped, and packaged by Ticon to arrive free of scratches, dents, and contamination ready for immediate use in fabrication. The 1.2mm wall is the standard selection for exhaust system construction where a balance of weight savings and structural integrity for heat cycling is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

What grade of titanium is the TIC102-08944-0000?

The TIC102-08944-0000 is manufactured from CP1 (Commercially Pure Grade 1) titanium. CP1 offers excellent corrosion resistance and high formability , it bends and welds more easily than higher-grade alloys like Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V), making it the preferred choice for custom exhaust fabrication applications.

Can the TIC102-08944-0000 be mandrel bent?

Yes. CP1 titanium has excellent formability and is suitable for mandrel bending. Use proper titanium-compatible mandrel dies and ensure the bending machine is rated for titanium tubing to avoid cracking or distortion at the 1.2mm wall thickness.

What filler wire should I use to TIG weld the TIC102-08944-0000?

Use ER Ti-1 (CP1) titanium filler wire to match the base material when TIG welding the TIC102-08944-0000. Use a trailing shield or purge setup to prevent oxidation during welding. Back-purge the inside of the tube to achieve clean, silver-colored welds without discoloration.

Is the TIC102-08944-0000 suitable for high-temperature exhaust applications?

Yes. CP1 titanium maintains structural integrity at exhaust operating temperatures encountered in custom exhaust system fabrication. It is significantly lighter than stainless steel of the same wall thickness and provides superior corrosion resistance for long-term exhaust use.

What is the exact outer diameter of the TIC102-08944-0000?

The TIC102-08944-0000 has a 3.5-inch nominal outer diameter. For precise fitment with couplers, flanges, or mandrel bends, measure the actual OD of your specific tube upon receipt, as actual OD can vary slightly from nominal by a few thousandths of an inch.

Can I use the TIC102-08944-0000 for a fuel cell vent line?

Yes. CP1 titanium is chemically inert and compatible with all common motorsport fuels including gasoline, E85, and methanol. The 3.5-inch OD and 1.2mm wall make the TIC102-08944-0000 suitable for large-format vent line fabrication on custom fuel cell installations.

How should I cut the TIC102-08944-0000 to length?

Use a quality tube cutter or cold saw rated for titanium. Avoid angle grinders or abrasive cutoff wheels on titanium when possible , they can contaminate the cut surface and create heat-affected zones. Deburr the cut end with a titanium-compatible deburring tool before welding or coupling.

Does Ticon Industries sell matching 3.5-inch titanium bends, couplers, and flanges for the TIC102-08944-0000?

Yes. Ticon Industries offers a full line of CP1 titanium mandrel bends, V-band flanges, slip-joint couplers, and other hardware in 3.5-inch diameter to complement the TIC102-08944-0000 for complete titanium exhaust builds.

Installation Notes

1. Measure and mark the TIC102-08944-0000 to your required length before cutting
2. Cut using a cold saw or tube cutter rated for titanium , avoid abrasive cutoff wheels to prevent contamination
3. Deburr the cut end inside and outside with a titanium-compatible deburring tool
4. Clean all weld areas with acetone and a clean lint-free cloth immediately before welding
5. Set up back-purge or use a trailing shield to prevent weld oxidation during TIG welding
6. Tack weld to fixture the joint before running full passes
7. Inspect welds for silver color , gold or blue tint indicates acceptable minor oxidation; gray or white indicates contamination requiring removal and reweld
