TC6 titanium alloy introduction

● TC6 titanium alloy characteristics and applications: It is a two-phase titanium alloy with a complex microstructure. Has the advantages of low density, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc.
It is more complicated than general titanium alloy machining procedures and has more fires. Different forging temperatures have a great impact on its structure. Therefore, its material cost is expensive and it is difficult to perform forging.
TC6 titanium alloy has good microstructure and performance stability under 300 ℃ / 5000h in ordinary annealing state, and the high-temperature properties such as instantaneous tensile, creep, and durability at different temperatures are equivalent to those of double annealing and isothermal annealing. The TC6 titanium alloy semi-finished product after ordinary annealing treatment can meet the requirements of the aircraft structural parts at the operating temperature (below 300 ° C).

Problems to be paid attention to when cutting titanium

Titanium is a new type of metal, and its properties are related to the content of impurities such as carbon, nitrogen, hydrogen, and oxygen. The main performance has the following aspects?
(1) Higher specific strength. The density of titanium alloy is generally around 4.5g / cm3, which is only 60% of steel. The strength of pure titanium is close to that of ordinary steel. Some high-strength titanium alloys exceed the strength of many alloy structural sheets of steel. Therefore, the specific strength (strength/density) of the titanium alloy is much larger than that of other metal structural materials, and parts and components with high unit strength, good rigidity, and lightweight can be produced. Currently, titanium alloys are used in aircraft engine components, skeletons, skins, fasteners, and landing gear.
(2) High thermal strength. Titanium alloy still has high specific strength in the range of 150 ° C to 500 ° C, while the specific strength of aluminum alloy decreases significantly at 150 ° C. Titanium alloys can operate at temperatures up to 500 ° C, and aluminum alloys below 200 ° C.
(3) Good corrosion resistance. Titanium alloy works in a humid atmosphere and seawater medium, and its corrosion resistance is far better than that of stainless steel; it is particularly resistant to pitting, acid, and stress corrosion; organic objects such as alkali, chloride, and chlorine, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid And so have excellent corrosion resistance. However, titanium has poor resistance to reducing oxygen and chromium salt media.
(4) Good low-temperature performance. Titanium alloys can still maintain their mechanical properties at low and ultra-low temperatures. Titanium alloys with good low-temperature properties and extremely low interstitial elements, such as TA7, can still maintain a certain degree of plasticity at -253 ° C. Therefore, titanium alloy is also an important low-temperature structural material.
(5) Large chemical activity. Titanium has a large chemical activity, and it has a strong chemical reaction with O, N, H, CO, CO2, water vapor, ammonia, etc. in the atmosphere, and easily adheres to the friction surface.
(6) Small thermal conductivity and small elastic modulus. Titanium has a low thermal conductivity, so it has poor rigidity and is easy to deform. It is not suitable for making slender rods and thin-walled parts. The machining surface has a large amount of spring back during cutting, which may cause severe friction, adhesion, and stickiness on the flank of the tool. Knot wear.
 In view of these chemical properties of titanium, what issues should be paid attention to during the cutting of titanium plate?
(1) For semi-automatic cutting, the guide rail should be placed on the plane of the titanium plate, and then the cutting machine should be placed on the guide rail. Note that the order cannot be reversed.
(2) The cutting parameters should be appropriate and should be reasonably determined according to the thickness of the titanium plate, so as to obtain a good cutting effect.
(3) Check whether the nozzle gas is unblocked, and unblock it if it is blocked.
(4) Before cutting the titanium plate, the surface must be cleaned and a certain space must be left, which can help the slag blow out.
(5) The distance between the cutting nozzle and the surface of the titanium plate should be appropriate, and it is not good to be too close or too far.
(6) The preheating of the titanium plate should be sufficient to avoid affecting the cutting process.
(7) If you cut workpieces of different sizes, you should first cut small pieces and then large pieces.

What are the common specifications of titanium screws?

Everyone can use combination screws differently. Some call them bolts, some call them screws, some call them standard parts, and some call them fasteners. Although there are so many names, the meaning is the same, all are screws. Screw is a general term for fasteners. The principle of the screw is to use the physical and mathematical principles of oblique rotation and friction of the object to gradually tighten the machine parts.
Due to its stable performance, titanium screws are currently widely used, and have already become indispensable in industrial production and production. Screws are also called industrial rice. It can be seen that the screw is widely used. The application scope of the screw includes: electronic products, mechanical products, digital products, power equipment, electromechanical products. Screws are also used in ships, vehicles, hydraulic engineering and even chemical experiments. However, screws are used in many places. Especially accurate screws for digital products. DVD, miniature screws for cameras, glasses, wall clocks, electronics, televisions, electrical products, musical instruments, furniture and other general screws; as for engineering, construction, bridges, the use of large screws and nuts; transportation equipment, aircraft, trams, automobiles, etc. Combination of screws and small screws. Screws play an important role in industry. As long as there is industry on earth, the function of the screw will always be important.
 There are many types of screws, whether it is the smallest screw for glasses or the large screw for heavy electrical engineering. The accuracy of the screws is usually 6G (Class 2, IFI 2A), and 1g is used for thick screws used in construction projects.
Titanium screws are widely used, so the screw market demand is relatively large, and screw manufacturers in the screw industry will definitely be more. When you choose a professional manufacturer, you choose Xi'an Sitai. Standard and customized parts are available. High-quality products, strict delivery and high-quality services will definitely meet your needs.

The use of titanium tube in various acids and bases

Titanium tubes are generally quite corrosion resistant in organic compounds. Its actual corrosion resistance is related to the reducing and oxidizing properties of the organic acid solution. Of the currently known organic acids, only a few will corrode titanium. For example, hot formic acid, hot oxalic acid, concentrated trichloroacetic acid, etc. in different air; once the air is vented, the corrosion rate of titanium will decrease. Both the water content of the organic compound medium and the air help the titanium to maintain its inertness. Under high temperature and anhydrous conditions, organic compounds can liberate hydrogen, which may lead to the danger of hydrogen absorption and hydrogen embrittlement of titanium. Although the corrosion of titanium in organic compound media is not serious, full attention must be paid to the sensitivity of hydrogen embrittlement and stress corrosion.
Titanium tubes are resistant to a wide range of temperatures and concentrations of acetic acid, and have been used in 204 ° C and 67% terephthalic acid and adipic acid. It has good corrosion resistance in citric acid, tartaric acid, tannic acid, lactic acid and other organic acids.
Titanium tube has strong corrosion resistance in alkali and alkaline media. Whether it is sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide or ammonia, calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide are very resistant to corrosion. The corrosion rate of titanium in boiling saturated calcium hydroxide, magnesium hydroxide and ammonia is almost 0. In high temperature and high concentration sodium hydroxide solution, such as 188 ℃ 50% -73% solution, the corrosion rate is possible More than 1.09mm / a. Nevertheless, the hydrogen embrittlement sensitivity of titanium in high-temperature alkaline solutions cannot be ignored. When the temperature exceeds 77 ° C and the pH of the alkaline solution is greater than 12, the possibility of hydrogen absorption and hydrogen embrittlement of titanium in the alkaline solution should be paid special attention to.
Among various metal materials, titanium tubes have good performance in wet chlorine gas, chloride solution (except high temperature and high concentration of ZnCL2, ALCL3 and CaCL2), and solutions containing chlorine compounds (such as chlorohydrochloric acid, etc.). Corrosion resistance has been successfully applied in bleach plants, electrolytic chlorine plants and wastewater treatment plants. However, crevice corrosion occurs in titanium materials in high-temperature and high-concentration chloride solutions, especially when it comes into contact with organic compound materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene.
Titanium causes severe corrosion in dry chlorine gas, and even causes fire and nature. The reaction between Ti and CL to form TiCL4 is an exothermic reaction. Only the water content in the medium is very low, and the heat released can promote the combustion of titanium, knowing that dry chlorine and titanium are depleted. If the chlorine gas contains water, the titanium tetraoxide will undergo a hydrolysis reaction to produce white titanium hydroxide. Titanium hydroxide is a stable solid compound and is not a highly volatile liquid like tetroxide (titanium has a boiling point of 136 ° C). The boundaries between "dry" and "wet" are related to factors such as ambient temperature and alloy composition. According to reports, the minimum moisture content of industrial pure titanium in the passivated chlorine gas at about 200 ° C is about 1.5%; at room temperature, the minimum water content will not catch fire as long as it is maintained at 0.3%-0.4% or more. Titanium-palladium alloys and titanium-nickel-molybdenum alloys can maintain the passivity of metals at lower water contents.
The corrosion resistance of titanium tubes to bromine and iodine is similar to that of chlorine. As long as a certain amount of water is maintained, titanium will not be corroded. However, titanium is corroded in fluorine, hydrofluoric acid or acid fluoride solution even at a very low concentration, and almost no corrosion inhibitor can be used. Therefore, titanium is not recommended for use in environments exposed to fluorine atmosphere. The acid fluoride solution rapidly corrodes titanium due to the presence of hydrofluoric acid. However, some fluorides complexed with metal ions, or extremely stable fluorides (such as fluorocarbons), generally do not corrode titanium.
Titanium pipes have excellent corrosion resistance in both river water and seawater. Especially in seawater, the corrosion performance of titanium is 100 times that of stainless steel. Titanium is the most resistant metal in all natural waters. Titanium may discolor or lose light in high temperature water and water vapor (such as 300 ° C), and even slightly increase weight, but it will not cause corrosion. Titanium is very resistant to corrosion in seawater at temperatures up to 260 ° C. Titanium tube condensers have been used in polluted seawater for more than 20 years, and only a slight discoloration has been found without signs of corrosion.
Industrial pure titanium has better resistance to crevice corrosion, pitting corrosion, and impact corrosion in seawater, and the sensitivity to stress corrosion and corrosion fatigue is not serious. In high-speed flowing seawater (for example, 36.6m / s), erosion speed is somewhat increased. When seawater contains abrasive particles such as sand, it has some impact on the erosion resistance of titanium, but it is not as severe as copper alloys and aluminum alloys. In seawater, titanium is the most ideal material for cavitation corrosion resistance. But because titanium is neither corrosive nor toxic in seawater, it is a good place for marine organisms to attach.

High-temperature titanium alloy material characteristics and applications

 High temperature titanium alloy is one of the key materials of modern aviation engines, and is mainly used for forged parts such as compressor plates and blades of aviation engines to reduce the weight of the engine and increase the weight-to-weight ratio. The development trend of high temperature titanium alloys is to add rare earth elements. China has done a lot of research in this area. For example, Ti55 alloy and Ti60 alloy have been added with rare earth Nd, rare earth Y has been added to Ti600 alloy and rare earth Gd has been added to Ti633G alloy, which have achieved very good results in improving alloy properties. The addition of rare earth elements to improve the thermal stability of the alloy is mainly due to the interaction of rare earth elements with the oxygen in the alloy matrix to form complex compounds and purify the alloy matrix, thereby improving the thermal strength and thermal stability of the alloy. At present, the research results of 600 ℃ high temperature titanium alloy abroad have been used in aero engines, such as IMI834 in the United Kingdom, Ti-1100 in the United States, BT18Y in Russia, etc., which have achieved good results.
