This alloy has mechanical properties similar to commercially pure titanium grade 1, but with palladium added to enhance corrosion resistance in crevices and reducing acid chloride environments. As with grade 1, grade 11 has optimum ductility and cold formability. It has useful strength, high impact toughness and excellent weldability.
Ti-0.05Pd – Grade 17

Grade 17 is identical to grade 11, with the exception that the palladium added to improve corrosion resistance is less then with grade 11. Mechanical and physical properties, specifications and forms are all identical to grade 11.

The alloy composition differs by the reduction of Pd to 0.04-0.08%.
Titanium Ruthenium Alloys

The poor availability and high cost of palladium have led to the development of ruthenium as an alternative alloy addition to provide similar enhancement of corrosion resistance but at lower cost. The relevant ASTM Grade is 27 (CP Grade 1 + 0.1%Ru). Mechanical and physical properties are of the same order as described for grades 11 and 17.
