Titanium rod | Practical titanium alloy!
1、 Introduction to Titanium Rod
Titanium rod is a titanium alloy containing a certain amount of titanium element. Titanium alloy has small specific gravity, good thermal strength, good weldability and excellent corrosion resistance. Its disadvantage is low room temperature strength. It is usually used as a heat resistant material and corrosion resistant material. Titanium alloys can generally be divided into all titanium alloys (TA7), near titanium alloys (Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V) and titanium alloys with a small amount of compounds (Ti-2.5Cu).
2、 Advantages and disadvantages of titanium rod
1. High strength, low density, good mechanical function, good resistance and corrosion resistance.
2. High viscosity, difficult cutting, poor abrasion resistance, and complex production process.
3、 Production of titanium rod
Titanium rod is made of sponge titanium through a series of processing. The first step is to produce titanium sponge, which involves chlorination of rutile ore, and the titanium chloride is obtained from beach sand. Coke and chlorine are mixed with rutile to form titanium tetrachloride, which then reacts with magnesium in a closed system. The vacuum distillation process is used to remove magnesium and magnesium for recycling. In electron beam furnace or vacuum arc extinguishing furnace, sponge is melted with alloy elements such as aluminum, vanadium, tin, zirconium and molybdenum. It will produce re die-casting electrodes that can be diecasted or VAR melted into slabs - titanium rods are obtained by further processing cast or forged slabs.
4、 Application of titanium rod
1. Aerospace: Titanium rods and sheets are commonly used in the aerospace industry. Titanium rods are also used in the frame structure of aircraft. Titanium rods are also used for moving parts of aircraft engines and propellers. Aerospace industry is the largest market for titanium rods and products.
2. Laptop: Manufacturers use titanium rods because of its industrial, modern and shiny appearance. Apple uses titanium strips in the body of its PowerBook laptop. Laptop manufacturers use titanium in different processes of notebook notebook manufacturing. The notebook computer industry is the largest consumer of thin titanium rods.
3. Armor: Titanium rods are very light and strong, which is why armor manufacturers use titanium rods to make armor light and easy to wear. Armor manufacturers use titanium rods in different types of applications to reduce weight and make products more durable.
4. Art and architecture: The rugged appearance of titanium railings makes them a popular choice for sculpture and architecture. Titanium rods and sheets are used exclusively for skyscrapers. Titanium bars are used to support buildings. For example, Italy uses titanium to stabilize and support the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
5. Industry: Titanium is widely used in industry. The industrial manufacturing industry is the largest consumer of titanium rods. The durability, light weight, corrosion resistance, heat resistance and cost-effectiveness of titanium make it the top priority of industry. Various titanium parts are used in the industry. Titanium is used in oil exploration, power plants and mining and processing plants.
