The mechanical properties of titanium welded pipe and titanium seamless pipe are basically the same

Taking titanium and titanium alloy tubes for heat exchangers and condensers as an example, the national standard is GB/T 3625-2007, the American standard is ASTMB338, and the differences between titanium welded tubes and titanium seamless tubes in terms of chemical composition, mechanical properties, process performance and other indicators Not big, even the same. With the advancement of welding and heat treatment technology of titanium welded pipes, domestic thin-walled titanium welded pipes generally adopt single-gun or multi-gun TIG/PAW self-fusion welding. 

After welding, the online heat treatment process is adopted. By optimizing the welding and annealing processes, the microstructures of the base metal, welds, and heat-affected zone are basically close to each other, at the same time, the welding stress is eliminated and the weld structure is homogenized. Through comparison, it is found that the composition of the welding seam of the titanium welded pipe is basically the same as the base metal, and the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the weld seam are no different from the base metal.

Application of titanium and titanium alloy in electroplating industry

Under the conditions of nickel plating, zinc plating, copper plating and other various electroplating conditions, the steel electroplating bath is made of steel with hard polyethylene gas lining and is supported by the column in the electrolyte. However, at higher temperatures, the hard polyethylene gas lining is cracked due to thermal expansion (the coefficient of thermal expansion of the hard polyethylene gas is 6 times greater than that of steel), and the integrity of the lining is damaged (especially when welding Zone), the result is that the bath material is corroded and corroded, thereby contaminating the electrolyte and even the amount of corrosion products in the electrolyte (a mixture of metal) is not significant. This is an example of improving the quality of the coating. The effect of using rubber as a lining is small because the rubber is fast Aging produces cracks. The lining process and the process of applying a thin layer of rubber are difficult because of its poor adhesion to certain metals. The protection and insulation methods of all existing chemical rubber column hangers are used. When using out-gassed vinyl paint or out-gassed vinyl tape, the hanger can only be used in the course of 2 to 3 months. The daily labour of replacing and repairing booms is uneconomical.

The most widely used electroplating technology can be plated into various metal coatings. As we all know, electroplating has a history of more than 100 years. It is an electrochemical process, which is the process of depositing the required metal or alloy layer on the metal and non-metal matrix by an electrolytic method. It is an electrochemical processing technology for decorative protection and obtaining some new properties. In modern times, it has developed from the surface treatment of metals to the possibility of plating metal coatings on non-metallic surfaces (such as plastic surfaces) and processing the manufactured workpieces by electrodeposition. Now electrolytic deposition has developed from depositing metals to depositing metal coatings and metal composite coatings. The meaning of electroplating is also constantly developing and broadening. It is widely used in various production departments such as machinery, instrumentation, electronics, light industry, transportation and defence industry, etc., to improve product quality, decorate and beautify product appearance, and enhance products. The ability to resist corrosion and extend the service life of products play an important role. Electroplating uses various new electrolytes to increase the temperature and increase the current density to ensure the improvement of the production efficiency of the electroplated layer and to strengthen its process. Therefore, strict requirements must be placed on the structural materials of the equipment used in electroplating technology. In addition to improving technical performance, increasing the service life of various devices is of great significance. This means that structural materials and lining materials must be used first.

The newer development of titanium alloy casting technology flow

The foundry titanium alloy industry refers to the industrial sectors of exploration, excavation, selection, training and rolling of metal deposits, including black cast titanium alloy industry (ie titanium plate industry) and nonferrous cast titanium alloy industry. The casting titanium alloy industry is an important raw material industry sector, which supplies metal materials to various sectors of the national economy, and is also the material basis for the economic development of the casting titanium alloy project.

Obtaining and purifying metals from ores or concentrates cannot be completed in one step, and it is divided into several periods to complete, but the exercise methods and equipment used in each period are different. The casting titanium alloy project systematically connects the various periods to form the skill flow of a certain metal exercise. If the skill flow is represented by a schematic diagram, it is called a skill flow chart. An intact titanium plate production line can be divided according to skills: coking, sintered pellets, iron making, titanium making, continuous casting, rolling titanium, etc.

A metal exercise skill process includes several exercise periods, and each method can use fire, wet or electro-cast titanium alloy. Therefore, each exercise period is generally called the process of casting titanium alloy. For example, blast furnace ironmaking is the process of casting titanium alloy by fire method, zinc baking sand is the process of casting titanium alloy by wet method, and the purification of liquid electrowinning is the process of electrochemical casting titanium alloy. The process of casting titanium alloy can be divided into many unit processes. Such as dryness of ore or concentrate, pelletizing or agglomeration, roasting, roasting (including terbium, recovery, magnetization, ironing and other roasting processes), sintering, recovery smelting (including solid carbon, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, metal thermal recovery Etc.), sulfonium smelting' gasification blowing, fire essence, leaching or leaching, purification of leachate, flocculation, sedimentation and clarification of ore pulp, concentration or thickening, filtration, scrubbing, crystallization, ion exchange, bacterial casting Titanium alloy, gasification casting titanium alloy, Chengqi casting titanium alloy, vacuum casting titanium alloy, distillation and transpiration, fumigation, aqueous solution electrolysis, molten salt electrolysis, metal casting, etc.

When thinking about the selection of a metal's skill process, attention should be paid to the analysis of material conditions (including particle size, gangue and harmful impurities, etc.), exercise principles, exercise equipment, exercise skill conditions, product quality and skill economic indicators. Others include water and electricity supply, transportation, etc. According to the specific situation, the less progress, the shorter the skill process, the better.

Because of the disorder of the engineering components of the cast titanium alloy, the casting titanium alloy equipment used is also diverse, such as blast furnace, sintering machine, jubilation furnace, flash furnace, comparison furnace, kiln, reflection Furnace, blast furnace, electric furnace, elaborate equipment outside the furnace, etc., various forms of electrolytic cells and various reactors in the wet casting of titanium alloys. In addition, there are dust collection equipment and liquid solid separation equipment. The selection of the use of these devices has the same effect on the process of casting titanium alloys, and it is suitable for the success of casting titanium alloy production.

Titanium welded pipe has outstanding cost and environmental advantages

The production process of titanium seamless pipes is complicated. Conventional three-roller or multi-roll mills and drawing machines are used to roll or draw a certain size of billet through multiple passes, and finally produce seamless pipes after diameter reduction and wall reduction. The production efficiency and yield rate of this process are low. Titanium seamless pipes from sponge titanium to pipes, through rolling or drawing, the material waste is large, the production rate is only about 50%, and mass production cannot be achieved, and the production cycle is relatively long. The titanium welded pipe is produced through an automated continuous production line, using a titanium strip coil with uniform wall thickness through cold bending forming, welding, online heat treatment, sizing and straightening, non-destructive testing and air tightness testing. 

From sponge titanium to welded pipe, the material utilization rate is usually about 80%. If the titanium tape is used as the raw material, the material utilization rate is more than 95%. With the rapid development of the domestic titanium industry and the increasingly mature welding technology, the production efficiency of titanium welded pipes will also be greatly improved, the quality stability, consistency and production efficiency will be higher, and can be cut to the required length according to customer requirements , Short delivery time, high material utilization rate, unit cost will be lower than seamless tube.

Titanium market will continue to be in good shape

Since the second half of this year, the domestic demand for titanium materials has been strong, and the market has performed well. The sales volume of major domestic manufacturers has increased. Industry insiders want Rui Dao to disclose that the current titanium market is performing well and that the strong demand will continue for a long time.

Factors such as raw material price support and the continued recovery of downstream demand will enable the titanium market to maintain a good momentum in the future. First of all, due to the constraints of raw material supply, the production of sponge titanium is difficult to increase in the short term, and the price will continue to remain at a relatively high point in the next 3 months, which will form a supportive effect on the price of titanium. Secondly, affected by environmental protection transformation and the relocation of old projects, the demand for titanium materials in the chemical industry has increased significantly, and the good situation is expected to continue throughout the next year. Third, the initiation of nuclear power projects at home and abroad will bring new demand for titanium materials. In recent years, many nuclear power projects at home and abroad have landed one after another, and the nuclear power sector is getting rid of the shadow brought by the Fukushima accident, which is not as good as the new round of rising period. Not only did many domestic nuclear power plants break ground, but many projects were also signed internationally. The new generation of nuclear power projects will significantly increase the number of titanium materials, which will be beneficial to the demand for titanium materials. At the same time, several domestic tape and reel and welded pipe projects will also be able to smoothly release production capacity and ease the pressure on the civilian market by signing orders for nuclear power projects.

In addition, the demand for high-end markets such as military industry and aerospace will continue to improve, and related companies can obtain sufficient orders. It can be said that the major domestic large-scale titanium enterprises throughout the year next year are expected to continue to maintain a good business situation. In addition to the relatively fierce competition in some low-end civilian products markets, the overall market can be expected.

Various methods of machining titanium alloys

The thermal conductivity of titanium alloy is small, about 1/3 of iron, and the heat generated during machining is difficult to be released through the workpiece. At the same time, because the specific heat of titanium alloy is small, the local temperature rises quickly during processing, so. It is easy to cause the tool temperature to be very high, which causes sharp wear of the tool tip and reduces the service life. Experiments show that the temperature of the tip of the tool for cutting titanium alloy is 2-3 times higher than the temperature of cutting steel. The low elastic modulus of titanium alloy makes the processed surface prone to springback, especially the processing of thin-walled parts is more serious, and it is easy to cause strong friction between the flank surface and the processed surface, thereby wearing the tool and chipping. Titanium alloys are very chemically active, and easily interact with oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen at high temperatures, increasing their hardness and decreasing plasticity. It is difficult to machine the oxygen-rich layer formed during heating and forging.

There are many methods for machining titanium alloys, including: turning, milling, boring, drilling, grinding, tapping, sawing, EDM, etc. ,
1. Turning and boring of titanium alloy
The main problems of turning titanium alloys are: high cutting temperature; severe tool wear; large cutting springback. Under suitable machining conditions. Turning and boring are not particularly difficult processes. For continuous cutting, mass production, or cutting with a large amount of metal removal, cemented carbide tools are generally used. When forming cutting, grooving or cutting, suitable steel tools are used, and cermet tools are also used. As with other machining operations, a constant forced feed is always used to avoid cutting interruptions. Do not stop or slow down during cutting. Generally do not cut, but should be fully cooled; coolant can use 5% sodium nitrate aqueous solution or 1/20 soluble oil emulsion solution. Before forging, the cemented carbide tool is used for turning the oxygen-rich layer on the surface of the original bar. The cutting depth should be greater than the thickness of the oxygen-rich layer. The cutting speed is 20-30m/min and the feed rate is 0.1-0.2mm/r. Boring is a finishing process, especially for thin-walled titanium alloy products in the boring process, to prevent burns and parts deformation.
2. Drilling and processing of titanium alloy
When drilling titanium alloy, it is easy to generate long and thin curled chips. At the same time, the drilling heat is large, and the chips are easy to accumulate or adhere to the drilling edge. This is the main reason for the difficulty of drilling titanium alloy. Drilling should use short and sharp bits and low-speed forced feed, the support bracket should be fastened, and repeated and sufficient cooling should be given, especially for deep hole drilling. During the drilling process, the drill bit should maintain the drilling state in the hole and not allow idling in the drill hole, and should maintain a low and constant speed drilling speed. Drill through holes carefully. When drilling soon, in order to clean the drill bit and the drill hole, and to remove the drill cuttings, it is best to return the drill bit. When the hole is finally broken, forced feed is used to obtain a smooth hole.
3. Tapping of titanium alloy
Tapping of titanium alloys is probably the most difficult machining process. When tapping, the removal of titanium chips is restricted and the serious tendency to bite will lead to a poor thread fit, causing the tap to jam or break. When the tapping is completed, the titanium alloy tends to shrink tightly on the tap. Therefore, it should try to avoid processing blind holes or too long through holes to prevent the surface roughness of the internal thread from becoming larger or the phenomenon of broken cones. At the same time, the tapping method should be continuously improved, for example, the trailing edge of the tap can be ground off. Along the length of the tooth edge, the axial chip removal groove is ground on the tooth tip. On the other hand, taps with oxidized, oxidized or chrome-plated surfaces are used to reduce bite and wear.
4. Sawing processing of titanium alloy
When sawing a titanium alloy, a low surface speed and continuous forced feeding are used. The experiment proves that the coarse tooth high-speed steel saw blade with a tooth pitch of 4.2mm to 8.5mm is suitable for sawing titanium alloy. If a band saw is used to saw titanium alloy, the pitch of the saw blade is determined by the thickness of the workpiece, which is generally 2.5 mm to 25.4 mm. The thicker the material, the greater the pitch. At the same time, the mandatory feed capacity and the required coolant must be maintained.
5. EDM machining of titanium alloy
EDM of titanium alloy requires an operating gap between the tool and the workpiece. The range of the gap is preferably 0.005mm0.4mm. The smaller gap is often used for finishing with smooth surface, and the larger gap is used for roughing that requires rapid metal removal. The electrode material is preferably copper and zinc.

Introduction of several common applications of industrial pure titanium rods and titanium alloy rod materials

Titanium and titanium alloys have good welding, hot and cold pressure processing and mechanical processing properties, and can be processed into various titanium profiles, titanium rods, titanium plates and titanium pipes.

Titanium is an ideal structural material. The density of titanium is not large, only 4.5g/m3, which is 43% lighter than steel, but the strength of titanium is twice that of iron and almost 5 times higher than that of pure aluminum. With low density and high strength performance. This combination of high strength and low density makes titanium rods occupy an extremely important position in technology. At the same time, the corrosion resistance of titanium alloy bars is nearly or more than that of stainless steel, so it has been widely used in petroleum, chemical industry, pesticides, dyes, papermaking, light industry, aviation, space development, marine engineering and other aspects.

Titanium alloys have a high specific strength (ratio of strength and density). Titanium alloy rods and pure titanium rods have played an irreplaceable role in aviation, military industry, shipbuilding, chemical industry, metallurgy, machinery, medical treatment and other fields. For example, the alloy of titanium and aluminum, chromium, vanadium, molybdenum, manganese and other elements, after heat treatment, the strength limit can reach 1176.8-1471MPa, the specific strength reaches 27-33, and the alloy steel with the same strength has a specific strength of only 15.5 -19. Titanium alloy is not only high in strength, but also resistant to corrosion, so it is widely used in shipbuilding, chemical machinery and medical equipment. Among them, the corrosion-resistant titanium alloy is mainly used in reactors, towers, autoclaves, heat exchangers, pumps, valves, centrifuges, pipes, pipe fittings, electrolytic cells, etc. in various strong corrosion environments. However, the high price of titanium alloys limits their application.

What are the main performance requirements of titanium targets?

Titanium tube target is made of purity, which is one of the main performance indicators of the target material, because the purity of the target material greatly affects the performance of the thin film. So, what are the main performance requirements of titanium targets? The following is introduced by titanium tube target manufacturers.
purity

Purity is one of the main performance indicators of the target, because the purity of the target has a great influence on the performance of the film. However, in practical applications, the purity requirements of the target materials are also different. For example, with the rapid development of the microelectronics industry, the size of silicon wafers has grown from 6", 8" to 12", while the width of wiring has been reduced from 0.5um to 0.25um, 0.18um or even 0.13um. The previous target purity was 99.995% Can meet the technical requirements of 0.35umIC, and the preparation of 0.18um lines requires 99.999% or even 99.9999% for the purity of the target material.

Impurities in the solids of the target and oxygen and water vapor in the pores are the main sources of contamination of the deposited film. Different targets have different requirements for different impurity contents. For example, pure aluminum and aluminum alloy targets used in the semiconductor industry have special requirements for alkali metal content and radioactive element content.
density
In order to reduce the pores in the solids of the target and improve the performance of the sputtered film, the target is usually required to have a higher density. The density of the target not only affects the sputtering rate, but also affects the electrical and optical properties of the film. The higher the target density, the better the film performance. In addition, increasing the density and strength of the target allows the target to better withstand the thermal stress during sputtering. Density is also one of the key performance indicators of the target.
Grain size and grain size distribution

The target material is usually polycrystalline and the grain size can be in the order of microns to millimeters. For the same target material, the sputtering rate of a target with fine grains is faster than that of a target with coarse grains; and the thickness distribution of the film deposited by sputtering with a target with a small difference in grain size (uniform distribution) is more uniform .

What is the main trend of titanium metal materials in the future?

In terms of future development trends, the output demand for titanium metal materials is increasing rapidly. The application of non-ferrous metal materials is mainly used as functional materials and structural materials. If a metal is used only as a functional material, the market is relatively small. quite big. If you want to answer where is the growth space of titanium metal in the future, where is the explosive growth time and catalyst? It depends on the development of civilian titanium, especially in the field of structural functional titanium, the use of titanium in civil and structural functional applications increases It may make titanium the fourth metal.

Application of medical titanium nails and titanium plates in plastic surgery

Titanium is non-toxic and non-magnetic. The elastic modulus of titanium alloy is similar to the elastic modulus of human bones. It has good compatibility with the human body, so it is also called "biometal". Titanium is also an important member of the family of memory alloys. Nickel-titanium alloys are alloys that people early found have memory guilt. Medical titanium plates can "remember" their own heavens. After being deformed by external forces, as long as they are given The temperature can "re-emerge" and restore its original shape. And because it contains titanium, its strength is also very high. Therefore, this alloy has become a memory alloy for use, and until today, it is still one of the relatively good open shape memory alloys.

Treating fractures with titanium sheets and titanium screws has unexpected effects. Within a few months, new bones and muscles will be combined with titanium sheets. Therefore, titanium is an ideal material for human dental implants and artificial joints.

Zygomatic plastic surgery mainly includes two concepts: one is simple chisel bone chiseling to reduce the outer contour of the cheekbones; the other is three-dimensional osteotomy, which reduces the cheekbones by shortening and moving the bone pieces. Zygomatic chiseling is generally suitable for patients with protruding anterolateral sides of the face. Intraoral incisions are often used to separate the exposed cheekbones under the periosteum, and special instruments are used to chisel and thin the part of the cheekbones designed to be removed before surgery, thereby reducing The contour of the face improves the appearance. The use of titanium nails and titanium plates is fixed so that the cheekbones will not cause slip and cause the contour of the face to lose shape, and it can better achieve the effect of shaping the cheekbones!

The advantage of this operation is that it does not leave scars after the operation, and it is seamless and does not leave traces. The operation difficulty of the three-dimensional osteotomy of the zygomatic bone is greatly increased, and it is suitable for patients with protruding zygomatic arch. In addition to the intraoral incision, it is usually necessary to make an auxiliary incision in the hidden part of the hairline, or a single intrascalp coronal incision. After the subperiosteal separation exposes the entire cheekbone, a specific size of bone is cut according to the needs of computer three-dimensional simulation design Then use special materials such as titanium nails to reconnect and shape the separated bone pieces, which can greatly change the entire facial contour and shape, and even allow the patient to achieve the effect of "reborn." In addition to zygomatic reduction, for a small number of patients, the middle part of the face is depressed due to dysplasia or defect of the zygomatic bone caused by congenital or acquired diseases, or the bilateral zygomatic asymmetric can be transplanted or faked by autologous tissue The body material is filled with the cheekbone augmentation of the zygomatic area for treatment, so as to improve the appearance.

The most complete application of titanium materials

Titanium alloys are used in many other industrial applications, such as flue gas desulfurization for pollution control, PTA plants for polyester production, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and hydrometallurgical autoclaves. In the chemical industry, titanium storage tanks, valves, reactors, titanium flanges, titanium pipe fittings, etc. Each grade is adjusted according to specific operating conditions, emphasizing the strength under different pressures, the alloy content of different corrosive agents and the ductility of different manufacturing requirements.
Aviation applications
The aerospace industry is the largest user of titanium products. Due to its high strength to weight ratio and high temperature performance, it is a useful material in the industry. Titanium is commonly used in aircraft parts and fasteners. These same characteristics make titanium useful in the production of gas turbine engines, while it is also used in other components such as compressor blades, casings, engine fairings and heat shields. The expansion of the use of titanium in the aerospace market can be attributed to several factors, including the need for new aircraft designs with increased CFRP (carbon fiber reinforced polymer [or plastic]) compositions. By sharing the same thermal expansion rate with many commonly used composite materials, titanium is very popular as a composite interface material. The new Boeing 787 Dreamliner is estimated to use 15% by weight of titanium, which is 5% more than steel, which is undoubtedly a model of increased use of titanium in commercial aircraft manufacturing. The increased use of titanium in the aircraft directly corresponds to composite parts based on material compatibility. The increase in composite material design, structure, and use is a powerful indicator of additional production of titanium parts.
Emerging applications
Pursuing, developing and supporting new uses of titanium is the primary task of the titanium industry. This includes helping companies that are developing new uses of titanium by providing a reliable metal supply, advanced metallurgical design and expertise, and in some cases financial support.
Computer Industry
In the computer industry, titanium is a promising substrate for hard drives. Compared with aluminum as the main material currently used, titanium has significant advantages. Its non-magnetic properties prevent interference with the data storage process; its heat resistance allows higher temperatures during the coating process, thereby increasing manufacturing speed; the purity of titanium allows closer read / write head tolerances and increases disk capacity .
Automobile industry
In the automotive industry, cars / motorcycles after the market and the racing market are being developed for use in titanium. Engine components, such as connecting rods, piston pins, valves, valve holders and springs, rocker arms and camshafts, to name a few, they can be made of titanium because it is durable, strong, light weight, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant. Although titanium may initially be more expensive for these applications, the use of its unique characteristics of the design produces components that do more than pay for itself with better performance and longer life.
An all-titanium exhaust system is also being developed to reduce weight and extend service life. The use of titanium in production vehicles is also evaluating engine components to improve efficiency and suspension springs to increase internal space.
Geothermal power
There are new opportunities for geothermal power generation, and highly corrosive steam released from the earth is captured to generate electricity. Compared to competing materials, the low life cycle cost of titanium in these applications can provide significant cost savings.
Composite material
Titanium is widely used in metal matrix composites. As these exceptionally powerful manufacturing and cost reductions in lightweight components, their popularity and utilization of titanium will increase.
Professional application
Promoting the unique combination of titanium and non-traditional uses The unique combination of titanium-light weight, high strength, biocompatibility and durability in extreme environments-makes it a high-quality material for a variety of non-traditional applications.
Human implants
Titanium is completely inert to human body fluids, making it ideal for medical alternative structures such as hip and knee implants. Titanium actually allows bone growth to adhere to implants, so they are longer than other materials. At present, the reconstruction of titanium plates and meshes supporting broken bones are also commonly used.
Armor application
The high strength-to-weight ratio and excellent ballistic resistance make titanium very suitable for armor applications. Used as protective armor on personnel transport vehicles and tanks, it can make vehicles lighter and increase the mobility of troops. The police's personal armor vest and helmet made of titanium are much lighter and more comfortable than police made of competitive materials.
other apps

Titanium now also appears in various consumer products, such as jewelry, watch cases, glasses, bicycles and watches. The golf industry has discovered that lightweight titanium heads can be larger than steel heads, expanding the "optimal position" of the club, thereby increasing distance and accuracy
