Titanium alloy plates and titanium plates are mainly used to manufacture various containers, reactors, heat exchangers, distillation towers, pipes, pumps and valves in the petrochemical machinery manufacturing industry. Titanium can be used as a titanium cathode and condenser in power stations, as well as environmental pollution control devices. The hardness of steel is higher than that of titanium plate, but the specific strength or tensile strength of titanium alloy is higher than that of high-quality steel. Titanium alloy has good heat resistance, low-temperature toughness and fracture toughness, so it is mostly used as aircraft engine parts and rocket and missile structural parts. Titanium alloy can also be used as fuel and oxidant storage tanks and high-pressure vessels. There are already automatic rifles, mortar seat plates and recoilless gun launch tubes made of titanium alloy.
1. Memory function
Titanium-nickel alloy has one-way, two-way and omnidirectional memory effects at a certain ambient temperature, and is recognized as the best memory titanium alloy. Pipe joints are used in engineering for the hydraulic system of fighter jets; the oil pipeline system of a petroleum joint enterprise; a parabolic mesh antenna with a diameter of 500mm made of 0.5mm wire is used on aerospace vehicles; used in medical engineering to make snoring Treatment; Titanium plates are made into screws for fracture healing. The above applications have achieved obvious results.
2. Superconducting function
The niobium-titanium plate exhibits a zero-resistance superconducting function when the temperature is lower than the critical temperature.
3. Hydrogen storage function
Titanium-iron alloy has the property of absorbing hydrogen, which can store a large amount of hydrogen safely, and release hydrogen in a certain environment. This is very promising in hydrogen separation, hydrogen purification, hydrogen storage and transportation, and the manufacture of heat pumps and batteries that use hydrogen as energy.
Titanium dioxide, the oxide of the titanium plate, is a white powder and a better white pigment, commonly known as titanium white. In the past, the main purpose of mining titanium ore was to obtain titanium dioxide. Titanium white has strong adhesion, is not easy to undergo chemical changes, and is always white. Especially valuable is that titanium dioxide is non-toxic. It has a high melting point and is used to make refractory glass, glaze, enamel, clay, high-temperature resistant laboratory utensils, etc.
