Titanium Alloy/Titanium Bar/Titanium Sheet Applications

Titanium alloy/titanium bar/titanium plate has high strength and low density, good mechanical properties, toughness and corrosion resistance is very good. In addition, the process performance of titanium alloy is poor, cutting and processing difficulties, in the thermal processing, very easy to absorb impurities such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon. There is also poor abrasion resistance, the production process is complex. The industrialized production of titanium was started in 1948. The needs of the aviation industry development, so that the titanium industry to an average annual growth rate of about 8% development. At present, the world's annual output of titanium alloy processing materials has reached more than 40,000 tons, titanium alloy grade nearly 30 kinds. The most widely used titanium alloy is Ti-6Al-4V (TC4), Ti-5Al-2.5Sn (TA7) and industrial pure titanium (TA1, TA2 and TA3).

Titanium alloys are mainly used to make aircraft engine compressor parts, followed by structural parts for rockets, missiles and high-speed aircraft.In the mid-1960s, titanium and its alloys have been applied in general industry to make electrodes for the electrolysis industry, condensers for power stations, heaters for petroleum refineries and seawater desalination as well as environmental pollution control devices, etc. Titanium and its alloys have become a kind of resistant material. Titanium and its alloys have become a corrosion-resistant structural material. It is also used to produce hydrogen storage materials and shape memory alloys.
