ASTM B863 is the ASTM International specification covering titanium and titanium alloy wire.
The required titanium grade or alloy, product condition, dimensions and applicable edition should be identified on the purchase order rather than relying on the standard number alone.
What ASTM B863 Covers
- Titanium wire
- Titanium alloy wire
- Grade- or alloy-specific material requirements within the specification.
- Manufacture, dimensions or tolerances, testing, workmanship, certification and marking requirements applicable to the product.
Important Distinction
Current B863 editions cover a broader range of titanium grades than older six-grade summaries. Verify grade coverage in the ordered edition.

Ordering and Certification
State the complete standard designation and required revision, titanium grade or alloy, product form, dimensions, condition, quantity and any additional testing or certification requirements. The supplied material test report should identify the governing specification and the actual test results applicable to the material.
Standards note: This page is a practical overview and is not a substitute for the official standard. Standards are revised periodically, and requirements can vary by edition, product form and application. Always state the required standard and revision on the purchase order and verify compliance against the applicable specification and material test report (MTR).
