Due to the high manufacturing cost of titanium alloys, in order to reduce costs, the competitiveness of titanium alloys in the entire metal material market is improved at lower prices. Titanium is widely considered to have unparalleled superior properties compared to other materials, but the price of titanium is often prohibitive for consumers, especially automakers. The emergence of high-quality and low-cost titanium alloys will certainly contribute to the popularization and application of titanium and Ultra-Thin Titanium Alloy Sheet.
From the application status at home and abroad and the development of titanium processing technology, the plastic processing technology of titanium and titanium alloys will develop in the following directions in the future:
1) High performance, that is, to develop alloys with higher service temperature, higher specific strength, higher specific modulus, better corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
2) Multifunctional, that is to develop titanium alloys with various special functions and uses, such as high damping, low expansion, constant resistance, high resistance, anti-electrolytic passivation and hydrogen storage, shape memory, superconductivity, low modulus biomedical and other titanium alloys, and further expand the application of titanium and titanium alloys.
3) Deepen the research on traditional alloys, improve the practical properties of existing alloys, and expand the application scope of traditional alloys through the improvement of equipment and processes.
4) Adopt advanced processing technology and large-scale continuous processing equipment to develop continuous processing technology, direct rolling technology, cold forming technology and near-net forming technology to improve the production efficiency, yield and product performance of ASTM F67 Gr2 Titanium Plate.
5) Reduce costs, develop alloys that contain no or almost no precious metal elements, and add cheap elements such as iron, oxygen and nitrogen, and develop titanium alloys that are easy to process and form, easy to cut, and inexpensive to alloy elements and master alloys. Develop titanium alloys, use prohibited materials, and improve the recovery rate and utilization rate of prohibited titanium. This is particularly important for reducing the cost of civilian titanium alloys.
6) Using advanced computer technology to simulate the deformation and processing process of the workpiece, predict the evolution of the metal microstructure, and even predict the mechanical properties of the product (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and hardness, etc.). ), and design or improve molds and tooling; analyze and process test results, reduce test volume, improve work efficiency, and reduce development costs.
