Industrial Grade Titanium Foil Strip Metallurgy & Processing Matrix
Precision-engineered cold-rolled titanium foil and strip materials represent the absolute apex of high-strength, low-density metallurgical manufacturing. Produced under vacuum induction melting (VIM) and multi-pass cold rolling with Sendzimir 20-high reversing rolling mills, our commercially pure (CP) titanium (ASTM B265 Grade 1, Grade 2) and alloyed titanium (Grade 5 Ti-6Al-4V) strips meet the rigorous mechanical and chemical criteria mandated by aerospace heat exchanger units, electrolyzer stacks, sound diaphragm transducers, chemical process gaskets, and automotive high-temperature shielding.
| Alloy Grade | UNS Designator | Yield Strength (Rp0.2, MPa) | Tensile Strength (Rm, MPa) | Elongation A50 (%) | Primary Tetovo & Regional Application Matrix |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Grade 1 (CP4) | R50250 | ≥ 170 | ≥ 240 | ≥ 30 | Deep-drawn acoustic diaphragms, chemical gaskets, medical sensor foils |
| Grade 2 (CP3) | R50400 | ≥ 275 | ≥ 345 | ≥ 20 | Plate heat exchangers, hydrogen electrolyzer bipolar plates, desulfurization units |
| Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) | R56400 | ≥ 828 | ≥ 895 | ≥ 10 | High-stress structural shims, motorsport exhaust cladding, turbine labyrinth seals |
| Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V) | R56320 | ≥ 517 | ≥ 620 | ≥ 15 | Hydraulic line wrap, ultra-lightweight pressure vessel cladding, cycling frames |
Titanium strip production is subject to extreme work-hardening coefficients during cold deformation. Our vacuum annealing protocols, executed at pressures below 10-3 Pa within inert argon atmospheres, guarantee uniform recrystallization textures without interstitial pickup of hydrogen, oxygen, or nitrogen. For downstream fabrication in stamping, micro-laser welding, and photochemical etching, our slitting lines offer slit widths starting from 3.0 mm up to 600 mm with razor-edge, deburred slitting edges to eliminate micro-crack initiation during high-speed stamping operations.
Regional Integration
Titanium Foil Strip Applications across the Tetovo Industrial Ecosystem
Situated in the Polog Valley and anchored along Corridor VIII, Tetovo is transforming from traditional metal fabrication into a precision hub for automotive parts, renewable energy components, and industrial machinery assembly.
Hydrogen Generation & Green Energy
As North Macedonia shifts capital toward the European Green Deal and renewable decarbonization projects, PEM (Proton Exchange Membrane) and alkaline electrolyzers require thin Grade 1 and Grade 2 titanium foils (0.05 mm – 0.2 mm). Our continuous strips, electrochemically treated or platinum-coated, serve as zero-corrosion anode substrates and gas diffusion backing meshes resistant to nascent oxygen evolution.
Automotive Tier-Supply & Exhaust Thermal Shiplaps
Suppliers servicing European vehicle corridors through North Macedonia utilize Grade 5 ultra-thin foil strips as lightweight acoustic shielding, catalytic converter honeycomb substrates, and turbocharger thermal decoupling blankets. Titanium delivers 44% structural weight reduction compared to 321/316L stainless steel while enduring cyclically induced high-frequency vibration up to 650°C.
Chemical Processing & Plate Heat Exchangers
Tetovo's heavy metallurgy legacy and regional chemical processing units rely on ASTM B265 Gr1/Gr2 cold-rolled coils for press-formed plate heat exchanger (PHE) packs. The natural rutile (TiO2) passive boundary layer resists aggressive chloride cracking, acidic condensate, and river water cooling media common to the Vardar and Pena hydrographic basins.
Macro-Economic Context
Tetovo & Polog Valley: Strategic Logistics Gateway for High-Tech Metallics
The industrial landscape surrounding Tetovo is undergoing a decisive technological reconfiguration. Fueled by investments in the Tetovo Technological Industrial Development Zone (TIDZ Tetovo), proximity to the capital Skopje, and direct logistics ties through Kosovo and Albania via the Pan-European Corridor VIII infrastructure project, local engineering firms are increasingly competing for mid-to-high-tier supply chain contracts across Germany, Italy, and Central Europe.
This industrial transition creates significant structural demand for high-performance non-ferrous metals. Conventional mild steel and brass strip processing is steadily yielding ground to engineered titanium strips and precision fastener assemblies. Whether deployed for laser-welded bellows, chemical instrumentation membranes, or high-performance motorcycle and cycling components, local procurement directors require factory-direct Chinese manufacturing partnerships that overcome intermediary markup while providing certified mechanical properties and flawless compliance documentation.
By leveraging Jiaxing Wexra Titanium's robust cold-rolling schedules, slit-edge coils can be shipped via multimodal sea-rail configurations (Ningbo/Shanghai to Thessaloniki, followed by express bonded rail transit into North Macedonia), compressing overall lead times down to 22–28 days while safeguarding edge flatness and surface finish.

Procurement Guide
Frequently Asked Questions by Tetovo Buyers
Clear, technical answers regarding metallurgical standards, slitting customizability, logistics routes, and customs clearance procedures for North Macedonia importers.
Q: What is the minimum achievable thickness and slitting tolerance for titanium strip?
We cold-roll commercially pure Gr1, Gr2, and Gr5 titanium down to foil thicknesses of 0.02 mm (20 microns), up to 3.0 mm. Slitting width tolerances are tightly held within ±0.05 mm, with burr height restricted below 5% of nominal material thickness to guarantee optimal laser-welding performance.
Q: Which delivery routes and Incoterms apply to shipments bound for Tetovo?
We regularly quote under CIF Thessaloniki or CIP Skopje/Tetovo. Maritime container vessels clear via the port of Thessaloniki in Greece, transferring via bonded road or rail transit directly into the Tetovo customs terminal. Air freight courier options (DHL, FedEx) are maintained for urgent prototyping runs.
Q: How do you prevent edge waviness and coil curvature (camber) during production?
Every strip coil undergoes continuous tension leveling and precision roller straightening following vacuum anneal cycles. Camber is verified per ASTM B265 parameters (≤3 mm per 1,000 mm of strip length), preventing lateral misfeeding during continuous high-speed mechanical press operations.
Q: Can Wexra furnish factory material certificates compliant with European audit protocols?
Yes. Every delivery package comes certified with genuine EN 10204 3.1 inspection documentation originating directly from our metallurgical testing laboratory. Complete trace numbers connect heat lots, chemistry percentages, yield, tensile, bend tests, and grain size distributions to each individual spool or coil.
Q: What surface conditions and oil protection are applied for oceanic shipping?
Strips can be ordered with Bright Annealed (BA), Acid Pickled, or Polished surfaces. For intercontinental maritime freight, materials are ultrasonically degreased, interleaved with anti-scratch protective tissue paper or PE film, hermetically vacuum-sealed in foil with silica desiccant, and housed in heavy-duty fumigated wooden crates.
Q: What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ) for custom-dimensioned strips?
For stock-gauge master master coils (Gr1/Gr2/Gr5), slitting MOQs can start from as low as 10 kg to 25 kg for sample validation. For custom melt-lot alloys or custom-rolled ultra-thin foils, minimum production campaigns typically start at 50 kg – 100 kg, fully engineered to custom customer blueprints.
