Titanium screw selection skills

The actual use value of titanium alloy plates: Titanium alloy plates have always been favored by people for their good physical properties, lightweight, beautiful appearance, durability, easy recycling of materials, high reuse rate, and no pollution. However, due to titanium The high price of alloy plates, poor wear resistance, and other factors directly affect the large-scale use of titanium alloy plates. Therefore, how to reduce the price of titanium alloy materials and improve the wear resistance of titanium alloys has become the development direction of titanium alloy materials in the future.

Titanium alloy has high strength, low density, corrosion resistance, long service life, and high waste recycling price. After being scrapped, the value of titanium scrap is still equivalent to more than 60% of the purchase value of raw materials. It can be said that titanium material is the least wasteful material, and the green environmental protection of titanium will not cause any adverse impact on the environment;

Titanium alloy is rich in resources and ranks third in the storage on the earth. It can be said to be inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Therefore, the high cost of titanium alloy plate is only the first time the investment is relatively large, but if you use it for many years, you can calculate it carefully. In the end, the titanium alloy plate is regarded as an economical and practical ideal material.

In order to improve the performance and grade of existing doors and windows in some domestic home furnishing industries, they have changed the low-level structure that only pursued labor-saving, material-saving, and low-price in the past, and realized the goal of shifting from sliding windows to better-performing casement windows. A transition from the main to realize diversified system designs such as single-layer, double-layer, three-layer, small opening, and large fixing. At the same time, attention should be paid to the selection of frame materials, glass, spacers, and sealants for titanium alloy doors.

Titanium alloy doors can use TC4 and titanium plates to make door edges, handles, spoke reinforcement rings, and ribs. Nowadays, some high-end villas have begun to use titanium alloy doors. After a long period of time, it has been proved that the use effect is very good, and the expected design goals have been fully achieved, adding beautiful scenery to people's lives and the environment.

Hot working properties and industrial application of TC4 titanium alloy

Titanium and titanium alloy strip production is a process in which titanium and titanium alloy are processed into rectangular single sheets or coils through smelting, ingot casting, flat roll rolling, heat treatment and finishing processes.

The industrial production of titanium alloy strips in the world began in the early 1950s, and now it can produce strips with a roll weight of 4 to 5t and thick plates with a width of 4.2m. China started the production of titanium strips in the late 1950s, and built a larger titanium processing plant in the mid-1960s, forming a production system. The products have been serialized and can produce plates with a thickness of 0.3 to 30 mm and a thickness of 0.01. ~2.0mm strip.

Smelting and ingot casting Titanium has a high melting point and is chemically active. It is easy to interact with air and refractory materials at high temperatures or in a molten state. Titanium and titanium alloys are usually melted in a copper crucible cooled by water or liquid metal under a vacuum or inert gas atmosphere. At present, the most widely used in the production of titanium ingots is vacuum consumable electrode arc furnace smelting.

After mixing a certain proportion of sponge titanium, return material and alloy elements uniformly, they are pressed into a block (called electrode block) on a hydraulic press, and then the electrode block is welded into an electrode (rod) by a plasma welding method. In the electric arc furnace, it is remelted to form an ingot. In order to ensure the uniform composition of the ingot, the particle size of the added alloy elements, return material and sponge titanium are all controlled within a certain range, and vacuum remelting is adopted three times. Industrial-scale smelted titanium alloy ingots are generally 3-6t, and large-scale ingots reach 15t. Usually, the ingots melted by the vacuum consumable electrode arc furnace are round. In recent years, other methods, such as plasma smelting, electron beam smelting, shell smelting and electroslag smelting, have also been used to melt titanium alloy slabs and square ingots. For example, Japan uses a plasma beam furnace to smelt slabs weighing 3t, which are directly used for rolling strips.

Forging is the main method to break the as-cast crystal structure, improve material properties and obtain slabs of a certain size and shape. During the heating process before the slab forging, the titanium alloy easily reacts strongly with air to form an oxide scale and a getter layer, which reduces the plasticity and other properties of the material. Therefore, induction heating or heating in a room-shaped resistance furnace with good airtightness is often used. When using a flame furnace for heating, the furnace should be kept in a micro-oxidizing atmosphere, and a protective layer can also be coated on the surface of the ingot, or heated in an inert gas. Titanium alloys have low thermal conductivity. When heating large cross-sections or high-alloyed ingots, in order to prevent ingot cracking that may be caused by thermal stress, a low-temperature slow and high-temperature fast segmented heating method is usually used. Controlling the heating and final forging temperature of the ingot and the amount of forging deformation are important guarantees for obtaining high-quality titanium slabs.

Surface treatment method for processing titanium and titanium alloy forgings

At present, the global automobile industry has formed a "six big plus three small" competition pattern, namely, GM, Ford, Daimler-Chrysler, Toyota, Volkswagen, Renault-Nissan and other six major automobile groups with an annual output of more than 4 million vehicles. Plus three relatively independent car companies, namely Citroen-Peugeot (PSV), Honda, and BMW. At present, the key enterprises in China's automobile industry are FAW, SAIC, Dongfeng, Changan and BAIC. There are more than 5,400 enterprises nationwide. In 2005, more than 5.7 million vehicles were produced and sold.

At present, reducing fuel consumption and reducing hazardous waste (CO2, NOx, etc.) emissions have become one of the main driving forces and directions for technological progress in the automotive industry. Research shows that lightweight is an effective measure to save fuel and reduce pollution. For every 10% reduction in the quality of a car, fuel consumption can be reduced by 8%-10%, and exhaust emissions can be reduced by 10%. For this reason, countries all over the world are studying the issue of automobile lightweight. The preferred way to reduce the weight of automobiles is to replace traditional automobile materials (such as steel) with high-strength lightweight materials (aluminum, magnesium, titanium, etc.).

1. Advantages and disadvantages of titanium for automobiles

The application of titanium rods and titanium forgings in automobiles began in the 1950s, when the titanium industry was just born. Due to technical and price reasons, the application of titanium in automobiles has not attracted the attention of the industry. With the improvement of automobile energy saving and environmental protection standards, it has gradually become a hot topic of common concern in the international materials and automobile circles in recent years.

Titanium rods and titanium forgings have a variety of excellent properties and are the preferred materials for many different types of auto parts. The main advantages and applications are as follows.

(1) The low density is only 60% of the steel density, which can not only reduce the mass of the whole vehicle, but also reduce the inertia of motion for high-speed moving parts.

(2) High specific strength Among various metal materials, the specific strength of titanium is almost the highest, which can be used as load-bearing parts;

(3) The modulus of elasticity is small, only 50% of steel, and the fatigue strength is large, suitable for springs;

(4) Good heat resistance, can work for a long time at 200-650℃, suitable for high temperature parts;

(5) The coefficient of thermal expansion is small, which is 50% of that of stainless steel and aluminum, suitable for parts such as engine valves;

(6) Good corrosion resistance. The corrosion resistance is better than aluminum, magnesium and stainless steel. It can resist corrosion from the atmosphere, rain, moisture on antifreeze roads and high-temperature exhaust gas containing hydrogen sulfide. It is suitable for exhaust nozzles and other parts with harsh operating conditions. ；

(7) Good frost resistance. In the environment of minus 100℃, low temperature brittleness will not occur;

(8) Good formability. Parts of various shapes can be manufactured through stamping, hot forging, powder metallurgy, precision casting, etc.;

(9) Good decorativeness Through oxidation treatment, various decorative materials with bright colors can be formed.

In addition to TC4 titanium alloy rods and TC4 titanium forgings for automobiles, titanium materials such as TiAl-based intermetallic compounds, reinforced titanium rods, and titanium forgings have higher heat resistance, rigidity and wear resistance.

The advantages of using titanium in automobiles are: reduce quality and reduce fuel consumption; improve power transmission effects and reduce noise; reduce vibration and reduce component load; improve vehicle durability and protect the environment.

The disadvantages are: under normal circumstances, the wear resistance of titanium used in automobiles is not good, the elasticity is lower than steel, and it is difficult to machine. However, the wear resistance can be improved by coating or strengthening, and the elasticity can be improved by reinforcement. If the machining adopts near-net forming technology or other processing conditions, the shortcomings can be minimized. What really hinders the wide application of titanium rods and titanium forgings is the cost of titanium rods and titanium forgings, which are determined by the complexity of titanium's raw materials, smelting, and processing techniques. The smelting cost is basically the energy cost necessary to separate titanium from oxygen, and the processing cost is usually the processing and polishing cost. Polishing includes a process of removing the cracks or surface damage caused by a large amount of oxygen.

Advantages and applications of medical titanium alloy in medical device manufacturing

When titanium rods and titanium alloy rods are heated to β phase, a → β polymorphic transformation occurs. Sometimes this process is also called recrystallization. The transition temperature of a→β of high purity titanium is 875+-5. But until the β phase is completely formed, it is difficult to observe this process with metallographic methods. The reason why phase β appears at low temperature is unclear. But the experiment pointed out that a and β mutually transform, whether it is heating or cooling, a phase and β phase always maintain a certain Bragg orientation relationship. There has been little research on the polymorphic transformation during heating in titanium alloys.

1. The transformation of titanium rods and titanium alloy rods during slow cooling

When titanium rods and titanium alloy rods are slowly cooled from the β phase region to the a + β phase region, a polymorphic transition of β → a will occur. It has been confirmed in high-purity titanium that the nucleation of phase a is martensitic at this time, and the growth depends on the thermal activation process. During the nucleation, the surface of the sample also has the bumps that occur during the martensitic transformation, and it also maintains a strict Bragg orientation relationship with the parent phase.

2. Transition in rapid cooling

The transformation of titanium rods and titanium alloy rods during rapid cooling from the β-phase region and the transformation products are different with the changes of the β-stabilizing element content. Martensitic transformation: 1.a`Block martensite cannot measure the orientation relationship; the acicular martensite a` and β phase maintain the Bragg orientation relationship. The inertial analysis plane is (334)β or (344). ) Β. 2.a" is found in Ti-Mo, Ti-W, Ti-Re, but not in Ti-V system; a" lattice parameter changes with composition; a" is the decrease in plasticity of titanium alloy.

Quenching ω phase formation: ω is a very small particle, which can only be observed by electron microscopy; ω increases the elastic modulus and hardness, and decreases the plasticity. The measurement of recrystallization mainly adopts the method of combining metallographic observation and X-ray diffraction. When recrystallization occurs, fine equiaxed grains appear on the deformed fibrous structure, and at the same time, the diffraction rings on the X-ray back-reflected Laue diagram begin to become unconnected spots. For heat-treatable β alloys, incomplete aging (500/4 to 8 hours, air cooling) can also be used to show the recrystallized structure, and the unrecrystallized grains after incomplete aging will appear dark after corrosion.

A new generation of medical titanium alloy rod and wire

Titanium standard parts are called titanium fasteners or titanium screws. Because of their excellent performance, they are widely used in auto parts. Combined with the supply-demand of titanium alloy materials for automobiles for many years, the performance of titanium standard parts is shared as follows:

1) Low density: It can not only reduce the weight of the whole vehicle but also reduce the inertia of motion for high-speed moving parts;

2) High specific strength: Among various metal materials, the specific strength of titanium is almost the highest, which can be used as load-bearing parts;

3) The modulus of elasticity is small: only 50% of steel and the fatigue strength is large, suitable for springs;

4) Good heat resistance: it can work for a long time under 200~650, suitable for high-temperature parts;

5) Small thermal expansion coefficient: 50% of stainless steel and aluminum, suitable for parts such as engine valves;

Titanium alloy forging method

Titanium alloy screws are prone to rust when exposed in the air. Therefore, titanium alloy screws need to be moisture-proof and moisture-proof:

1. The choice of component insulation impregnating varnish, such as epoxy resin or polyurethane impregnating varnish. Choose paint that does not contain volatile acids. The vibration machinery uses solvent-free paint.

2. For the use of titanium alloy screw melamine alkyd paint, the curing temperature and curing time should be adjusted. The curing temperature is slightly higher than 130 degrees Celsius and the curing time is greater than 180 minutes. It is appropriate to implement the process strictly, especially in the hot and humid seasons. Because of the concept of rust and rust, the conventional drying time of the sample paint factory is not necessarily abundant, and cars have a specific internal shape.

3. Surface corrosion treatment of titanium alloy screws refers to the use of various methods to maintain the metal surface. The role is to isolate the metal from the corrosive environment to inhibit the corrosion process, reduce the contact between corrosive media and the metal surface, and achieve the purpose of preventing or slowing down corrosion.

Pay special attention to the selection of screw material:

1. The mechanical properties and strength requirements of the screw material are strong. Some screws need a relatively high strength, and then choose the higher the strength of the screw material itself.

2. The corrosion resistance of materials in working conditions is required. Part of the screws of the standard network are used for the above-mentioned products with strong corrosion. This requires us to choose the corrosion resistance of strong spiral steel wires.

3. The material's heat resistance and working temperature requirements. When some titanium alloy screws are used for high temperature operation, it is necessary to select the high temperature performance of the screw material.

4. Performance requirements in the production process of material processing. Some titanium alloy screws need to deal with the difficulty of thread and hardness in the production process, so it is necessary to choose the appropriate hardness of the screw material, which is conducive to processing and production.

5. The choice of screw material is affected by the weight, price, purchase and other factors of the titanium alloy screw itself. It is a better choice to properly consider the materials in these fields.

Titanium alloy processing such as titanium rod, titanium wire, titanium plate, titanium forging, etc.

By heating or pressurizing, or both, using or without filling materials, the titanium alloy material workpiece can achieve atomic bonding.

Commonly used welding methods for titanium and titanium alloys are: melt welding, brazing, solid-phase bonding, mechanical bonding, etc. Among them, fusion welding is the most widely used, which can be divided into arc welding, electron beam welding, resistance welding, etc., and inert gas is used more.

The weldability of titanium materials depends on the chemical activity and physical properties of the material itself. At room temperature, the surface of titanium has a thin and dense oxide film with stable performance. As the temperature rises, the activity of titanium increases sharply. When the welding temperature is higher than 600℃, the dense oxide film is destroyed, and the gas can diffuse into the metal through the loose oxide film, and hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and other elements A violent chemical reaction occurs, and these elements exist in titanium as interstitial impurities, which reduces the performance of the welded joint, especially the plasticity. The presence of hydrogen is often the cause of pores and cold cracks in welding.

Before welding titanium materials, mechanical cleaning or chemical cleaning should be used to thoroughly remove dirt, oxides and gas-rich metal layers on the surface of the workpiece.

Effect of Forging Degree of Titanium Alloy on Microstructure and Mechanical Properties of Titanium Rods and Titanium Forgings

(1) Fine grinding

That is, the surface of titanium and titanium-containing alloy castings is polished by using conventional various types of emery rubber wheels. The problem that should be paid attention to during grinding is still not to make the casting heat, not to cause grinding damage on the surface of the casting, and to make the entire surface smooth.

(2) Barrel grinding method

The so-called barrel grinding method is to put the processed castings, abrasives, water and additives into the barrel-type grinding tank. The grinding barrel generates rotation and vibration, causing friction between the mixture of abrasives and the processed castings, and grinds the surface of the castings smoothly. It is characterized by no dust pollution, low labor intensity, and no heat generation in the conventional grinding process. At present, Japan has commercialized barrel grinders and abrasive materials used for grinding titanium and titanium-containing alloy castings, other metal castings, and plastics. Tests have confirmed that pk series abrasives have the highest grinding efficiency, but the surface roughness is also the highest.

(3) Mechanical polishing method

Use different specifications of soft cloth wheels or black brushes, dipped in titanium and titanium-containing alloy special polishing paste to polish the surface of titanium and titanium alloys. When polishing titanium castings, it is necessary to completely clear the contamination layer on the surface of the casting and no new grinding and hardening layer occurs, which will not achieve the desired polishing effect. High-speed and light-pressure methods are still used for polishing. The author has also tried to use the green polishing paste to polish titanium and titanium-containing alloy castings and achieved a relatively ideal polishing effect. The polished titanium and titanium-containing alloy castings cannot be washed immediately. The surface oxide film must be completely formed before washing, otherwise, the surface will darken.

How to select and control the deformation amount of titanium rod, titanium forging and medical titanium rod in the forging process

The research and development of high-temperature titanium alloy standard parts is mainly concentrated on the high-temperature titanium alloy at 600℃. The domestic standard parts of titanium alloy are mainly developed by the Institute of Metallurgy, Chinese Academy of Sciences. The composition of Ti60 titanium alloy is a near-α heat-strength titanium alloy improved on the basis of Ti-5.5Al-4Sn-2Zr-1Mo-0.3Si-1ND-0.05CTI55, and its comprehensive properties are improved by ND strengthening. The long working temperature of this alloy can reach 600℃, which is suitable for the compressor discs, drums and blades of the high-pressure section of aircraft transmitters. Domestic research on high-strength titanium alloys is mainly concentrated on TB8TC21 and other brand titanium alloys (developed by Northwest Nonferrous Research Institute). The composition of TB8 titanium alloy is Ti-15Mo-3Al-2.7Nb-0.2Si medium-stable β-type titanium alloy. In addition to consuming plates and strips, TB8 titanium alloy can also produce foils, wires, tubes, bars and forgings. This plate is mainly used to manufacture aircraft cold-formed sheet metal parts of medium complexity, which can replace structural steel with strength grade of 30CrMnSiA. The newly developed TC21 titanium alloy has stable mechanical properties and matches with the strength, plasticity, fracture toughness, crack growth rate and other indicators. It is a high-strength and high-toughness damage-tolerant titanium alloy with great application prospects. In terms of flame-retardant titanium alloys, the Northwest Nonferrous Institute has developed a low-cost Ti40 flame-retardant titanium alloy with Chinese characteristics. Ti-V-Cr series full beta titanium alloy composed of Ti-V-Cr series Ti-25V-15Cr-0.2Si high alloying has good anti-extinguishing performance and high temperature performance. Ti40 titanium alloy will be suitable for the casing and blades of the key components of the aircraft engine.

Factors affecting the service life of titanium rods

The fatigue and fracture properties of titanium alloy rods occupies a very important position in determining the service life of the alloy. Over the years, domestic and foreign studies have been conducted to explore the fatigue and fracture mechanisms of titanium alloy rods and their relationship with various metallurgical factors. Due to the complexity of the problem itself and the scattered data from the preliminary experiments, some substantive issues are still not very clear, and the views are not completely unified. Only some representative conclusions are introduced here.

The fatigue life of titanium alloy rods, like other materials, depends on the probability of fatigue crack nucleation and the rate of crack growth. According to the study of pure titanium, fatigue cracks mostly nucleate in the slip zone and at the twin interface, but for Ti-6AI-4V alloys, under low stress conditions, the a-phase and b-phase interfaces are the weakest It is only at high stress levels that the probability of nucleation in the slip zone increases significantly. Increasing the test temperature has a similar effect. In order to improve the fatigue performance, it is usually desirable to obtain a small equiaxed titanium alloy rod. b organization, and b phase is best in a free state to reduce the a/b phase interface area. In addition, the fine-grain slip is relatively uniform, and the free path of slip is short, which can reduce the stress concentration caused by dislocation plugging; at the same time, the fine-grain also has a greater constraint on twins. Conversely, the coarse-grained Widmanstatten structure is easy to nucleate fatigue cracks, so the fatigue strength is low.

In the presence of notches and stress concentration, the effect of grain size is reduced, because the fatigue life at this time mainly depends on the crack growth rate, while the experimental results of pure titanium show that the crack growth rate is not closely related to the grain size.

Common surface treatment methods for titanium alloy forgings

Sponge titanium is loose and porous, and its strength is very low, so it cannot be used directly as a titanium material. It is the most upstream material of titanium material, which is processed into various shapes of plates, wires, tubes, etc. After melting, forging and rolling. The titanium content of sponge titanium is close to 100%. However, titanium is too active and does not easily react with oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen in the air, so it is almost impossible to achieve 100% purity.

The titanium content is generally above 95%, making it industrially pure titanium. Pure titanium is divided into TA1-TA4 according to the difference in titanium content and impurity content. We usually use TA1 and TA2. Impurities are mainly oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, iron and so on. The higher the titanium content, the softer it is. We say the lower the strength, but the better its toughness. Therefore, when we make titanium belt buckles and titanium jewelry, we will use TA1 material where the force is not very strong, while the shaft and small screws will use TA2 material. When we make pure titanium cups, TA2 cannot be used. The higher the purity, the better. In particular, the lower the hydrogen content. Otherwise, the toughness is insufficient, it is easy to crack, or obvious stretch lines or pits appear, and the rejection rate is quite high.

Titanium alloy parts are made by combining titanium with other metals and non-metals. These metals and non-metals such as aluminum, molybdenum, vanadium, chromium, iron, zirconium, tin, oxygen, carbon, etc. Titanium alloys are divided into TA, TB, and TC series according to the different metallographic structure.

Take the commonly used TC4 titanium alloy as an example. Its titanium content is 90%, aluminum 6%, and vanadium 4%, so it is also called titanium 6 aluminum 4 vanadium. TC4 titanium alloy is the earliest developed and most widely used titanium alloy in the world, and it is also the earliest titanium alloy used in medical treatment. Its output accounts for more than 80% of the world's total output of various titanium alloy products, especially in the aerospace industry. It has high anti-corrosion performance, strength is higher than pure titanium, toughness is good, processing and welding are relatively easy, so the overall performance is very good, and like pure titanium, it is not allergic.

Application of titanium tube in water treatment

With the technological development trend, heat exchangers dominated by titanium materials are on the market, and there is a development trend to replace traditional copper and stainless steel tube side heat exchangers. It uses a pure titanium seamless tube as the heat transfer medium, and the outer cylinder adopts an industrially produced thickened polyvinyl chloride one-time injection molding process; both titanium and pvc have strong corrosion resistance. It can be used for temperature control in swimming pools, aquariums, aquaculture plants, sea baths, electroplating tanks, hot and cold machinery and equipment for ships, and refrigeration systems for chemical machinery and equipment; it can also be used in industries with key anti-corrosion purposes, such as sea surface applications and Metal surface treatment industry. In addition, the use of alloy material ion does not lose this feature, titanium tube heat exchangers are also used in food, purified water, purified water, brewing, wine, beverages, soilless cultivation, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics and industries. It can also be used in environmental protection industries, such as organic waste gas and sewage recycling, pollutant recycling and so on.

Study the process of electrolytic titanium smelting tube

After studying the literature, we have not adopted the method of electrolyzing titanium tubes in aqueous media and low-temperature non-aqueous media. Only a salt melt composed of chlorides and fluorides of alkali metals and alkaline earth metals and dissolved in titanium compounds has been studied. As we know, titanium has a high response-ability to gas elements (oxygen and nitrogen) at 600-900℃, and these impurities affect the mechanical properties of metallic titanium. Considering that these impurities are transferred out of the basal medium during the electrochemical process The possibility of entering the titanium tube deposited on the cathode, so we have proposed a mission for ourselves-to establish an electrolytic cell in which a reliable lazy atmosphere and the elimination of external impurities that contaminate the electrolyte possibility. Using certain principles that are widely used in modern technology, we have planned and produced a large-scale experimental device through long-term exploration and long-term experimentation, which can deal with the purity of all types of electrolyte melts used in the electrolysis of titanium. The first experiment of cutting off the technical regulations of the electrolytic titanium tube was carried out on this equipment.

In order to select the technical process of the electrolytic titanium smelting tube, various compounds of the titanium tube were tested. The electrolysis is titanium trichloride, titanium tetrachloride, potassium fluorotitanate and titanium dioxide.

Titanium trichloride, which has a high solubility in the alkali metal chloride form, enters the electrolyte. When the concentration of trichloride in the melt reaches the beginning of electrolysis; during electrolysis, titanium is precipitated on the metal cathode, and chlorine is separated on the anode. The titanium ingot is taken out of the electrolytic cell, and the chlorine is combined there. The hydrogen junction supplied through the anode constitutes hydrogen chloride.

Because hydrogen is not good for high-temperature electrolysis, I started to look for other ways to make cheap chlorides in the melt. It has been determined that if an electric current is passed along the graphite tube and TiCli vapor is supplied through the graphite tube together, the electric current can restore the disintegrated titanium tetrachloride.

Performance and Annealing Process of TC4 Titanium Alloy Material

Medical titanium alloy medical instruments are the third generation surgical instruments after carbon steel and stainless steel. In order to improve the anti-rust performance of stainless steel appliances, surface treatments such as chrome plating and electropolishing are often required. But chromium is toxic, and the peeled off chromium layer will have a certain impact on the human body. The medical titanium rods produced by many medical titanium rod manufacturers are used in medical devices.

The benefits of medical titanium alloys as medical devices are:

1. The equipment is light and handy, which can reduce the damage to blood vessels, muscles and organs during the operation, and reduce the fatigue of the doctor. The medical titanium equipment is more suitable for fine microsurgery operations;

2. Good corrosion resistance and non-toxicity, the equipment does not rust, the wound is not easy to be infected, and the wound heals quickly;

3. The medical titanium alloy has moderate elasticity and is suitable for pliers, tweezers, micro scalpels and other instruments;

4. When operating under a shadowless lamp, the reflective performance of medical titanium is weaker, which is more suitable than stainless steel;

Medical titanium medical instruments mainly include scalpel, surgical forceps, surgical forceps, chest expander, suture needle, suture thread, etc. Medical titanium wire is used as a surgical suture. Compared with other materials (such as stainless steel wire), it has the advantages of small tissue response and good torsion resistance. After suturing, the surgical wound is not easy to be inflamed, and the bone suture site is not easy to shift. The suture thread generally uses medical titanium wire (TA1 or TA2 wire) with a diameter of 0.5 to 0.8 mm. In addition, the soft elasticity produced by the titanium-nickel alloy wire can promote the rapid healing of the wound.

In addition, medical titanium alloy is also an important material for auxiliary rehabilitation equipment, such as wheelchairs, crutches, splints, and medical equipment.
