A comprehensive guide to titanium plate processing and treatment methods!

1. Basic forming process of titanium plate ‌

1. Shearing and rolling ‌

Use professional shears or tools to cut the titanium plate to the target size, with an error control within ±0.5mm;

Cold rolling or hot rolling through a mechanical rolling mill:

Hot rolling ‌: After the slab is heated by a step-type heating furnace, it is gradually thinned to the target thickness through a rough rolling mill and a finishing mill. The surface needs to be descaled with high-pressure water to remove the oxide scale;

Cold rolling ‌: Based on the hot-rolled plate, multiple passes are rolled, with higher dimensional accuracy, suitable for high-precision parts manufacturing. Grade 9 Ti-3Al-2.5V Titanium Sheet / Grade 9 Titanium Sheet / titanium sheet metal

2. Extrusion and stamping ‌

High-pressure extruders cooperate with molds to form complex cross-sectional structures;

Stamping machines achieve rapid forming, and can process precision holes or concave-convex structures with a diameter of ≥1mm, suitable for aerospace parts.

2. Surface treatment technology ‌

1. Pickling and shot blasting ‌

After annealing, the titanium plate is cleaned with hydrochloric acid + mixed acid to remove the oxide scale and improve the surface gloss;

Shot blasting enhances surface roughness and improves coating adhesion.

2. Functional coating ‌

Sandblasting ‌: Alumina particles impact to form a uniform texture and improve wear resistance;

Vacuum evaporation ‌: Nano-scale metal film is deposited on the surface of the titanium plate to give it antibacterial or conductive functions.

III. Heat treatment and post-treatment ‌

1. Annealing process ‌:

Pure titanium plates are kept at 650-750℃ for 1-2 hours to eliminate cold rolling stress and restore plasticity;

TC4 titanium alloy requires double annealing to optimize strength and toughness matching.

2. Straightening process ‌:

A multi-roll straightening machine is used to correct defects such as edge waves and warping of titanium plates, and the flatness is ≤1mm/m.

IV. Application of advanced manufacturing technology ‌

1. Additive manufacturing ‌: Laser selective melting technology realizes integrated molding of complex structures of titanium plates, with a material utilization rate of more than 85%. Typical applications include aircraft engine fuel nozzles;

2. Composite processing ‌: CNC production lines that integrate laser cutting and bending have a processing efficiency that is 4 times higher than traditional processes.

Notes:

1. Material selection: TA1 pure titanium is suitable for conventional corrosion-resistant scenarios, and TC4 is used for high-strength structural parts;

2. Tool wear: High-cobalt carbide tools must be used during processing, and emulsion cooling must be used to extend the life;

3. Environmental protection requirements: Pickling waste liquid must be neutralized and treated to meet the standards before discharge, and the fluoride ion concentration must be ≤10mg/L.

Summary: Titanium plate processing needs to match the process chain according to specific performance requirements. The coordinated application of traditional cold and hot rolling and additive manufacturing technology is driving its penetration rate in high-precision fields to increase by more than 60%.

Titanium rods, titanium plates, titanium parts burr treatment method

This mechanical treatment method is: bury the titanium material in a lot of abrasives, add some polishing compounds dissolved in water, use the vibration principle to mix the abrasives and materials, and continuously wash the workpiece, the surface and corners of the workpiece are ground by the abrasives, and then the finish is obtained. This technology can be used for deburring, chamfering, rust removal, descaling, flattening and fine polishing, and is suitable for metal parts of various sizes and shapes.

Abrasives can be made of alumina (including molten, sintered or natural), corundum, plastic, quartz, ceramics, etc., and can be a single variety or a mixture of several. The shapes of these abrasives can be made into diagonal, cylindrical, diamond, etc. The reason why they are made into preformed abrasives first is that they are more economical and have a faster abrasion speed than arbitrary shapes and natural shapes. According to the shape and size of the workpiece, abrasives of different shapes and sizes are selected. Abrasives for roller polishing include pumice, quartz, granite skin corners, shells, iron filings and ceramic fragments. The size of the abrasive particles should be larger or smaller than each hole of the part. The amount of material in the drum is also an important factor affecting the surface quality of the parts. The amount of material in the drum is usually 70% of the drum volume. The solution in the drum should be added to about 95% of the drum volume (Note: When adding acidic solution to the drum, water should be added first, and then acid should be added to prevent corrosion of the parts. During the roller polishing process, as time increases, the concentration of the solution in the drum gradually decreases, and even loses its effect. AMS 4928 Titanium Alloy Bar / Grade 2 Titanium Bar / Titanium Industrial Rod

The processing time can be from a few minutes to a few hours. The key is to choose the abrasive, which should be determined by experiments. Only in this way can a uniform and bright surface be obtained. After processing, the workpiece is unloaded together with the abrasive, and is taken out after screening through the separator, and the recovered abrasive can continue to be returned to the machine for processing. Oscillating finishing machines are divided into two categories: stand-alone and online, and are selected according to production needs.

Overview of the basic characteristics of titanium tubes

Titanium tubes, with their unique physical and chemical properties, show good performance in many fields.

1. Titanium tubes have good corrosion resistance, can maintain stable performance in a variety of harsh environments, are not easily damaged by oxidation and corrosion, and thus extend their service life.

2. Its strength-to-weight ratio is very high, which means that it has a lighter weight while ensuring strength, which is important for fields that require lightweight design.

3. It also has good high and low temperature resistance, and can maintain stable mechanical properties and chemical stability under harsh temperature conditions, so it is widely used in high or low temperature environments such as the nuclear industry. Gr9 Ti3Al2.5V Titanium Pipe / Thin Wall Titanium Pipe / titanium exhaust tube

4. It also has good biocompatibility and is harmless, so it is widely used in the manufacture of medical devices.

In summary, titanium tubes have shown broad application prospects in many fields with their good corrosion resistance, high strength-to-weight ratio, good temperature resistance and excellent biocompatibility.

Titanium plate has good corrosion resistance

Titanium plate stands out among many metal materials for its good corrosion resistance. This material can maintain good performance in a variety of harsh environments and show strong corrosion resistance. Its corrosion resistance is mainly due to the dense oxide film formed on its surface. When it is exposed to the air, a thin and dense titanium dioxide (TiO₂) oxide film will quickly form on the surface. This oxide film can effectively prevent the contact between the corrosive medium and the titanium matrix, thereby playing a protective role.

In the marine environment, the corrosion resistance of titanium plates is particularly outstanding. Seawater contains a large amount of chloride ions, which are highly corrosive to ordinary metals, but it can be used in seawater for a long time without being corroded. For example, in shipbuilding, hull parts and seawater pipelines made of titanium plates can effectively resist the erosion of seawater, greatly extending the service life of ships. In the chemical industry, titanium plates also perform well. It can withstand corrosion from a variety of acid and alkali solutions, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, sodium hydroxide, etc. In some chemical equipment, reactors, heat exchangers and other components made of titanium plates can operate stably in highly corrosive media, reducing the maintenance and replacement costs of equipment. grade 7 titanium alloy plate / Titanium Hot Rolled Plate 

In short, the corrosion resistance of titanium plate gives it important advantages in many fields such as ocean and chemical industry. It is a very valuable high-performance metal material.
