Processing technology and technology of titanium alloy plate

As an important industrial material, the complexity of its processing technology directly affects its final performance and use effect. The processing of titanium alloy plate is different from that of ordinary metal materials. Its high strength and high toughness require special technology and equipment in the processing process.

Processing technology of titanium alloy plate

Cutting

The cutting process of titanium alloy plate usually adopts laser cutting, plasma cutting or water jet cutting. Due to the high hardness of titanium alloy, it is difficult to achieve high-precision cutting by ordinary mechanical cutting methods. Laser cutting has high precision and small heat-affected zone, and is a common method for processing titanium alloy plate. Grade 9 Ti-3Al-2.5V Titanium Sheet / Grade 9 Titanium Sheet / titanium sheet metal

Forming

The forming process of titanium alloy plate includes stamping, extrusion, bending, etc. During the forming process, the high strength and low plasticity of titanium alloy make the processing more difficult. Especially in the hot forming process, temperature control is very important, otherwise it will affect the mechanical properties of the alloy.

Welding

The welding process of titanium alloy plate needs to be particularly careful. Titanium alloy is easy to absorb moisture and oxidize, so low-temperature welding methods such as argon arc welding and tungsten inert gas welding are required during welding, and the entire welding process should be carried out in a protective atmosphere to ensure that the performance of the welding part is not affected.

Surface treatment

The surface treatment of titanium alloy plates includes anodizing, sandblasting, coating, etc. Surface treatment can not only improve the aesthetics of titanium alloy, but also further improve its corrosion resistance.

Technical challenges and solutions

Due to the special properties of titanium alloy, its processing often faces some technical challenges, such as excessive tool wear and uneven heat treatment. In response to these problems, many companies have improved the processing accuracy and efficiency of titanium alloy plates by improving processing equipment, optimizing process parameters, and adopting advanced cooling technology.
