Titanium Alloy Processing And Manufacturing

Since titanium alloys are very expensive to process, it is important to make them cost effective in order to increase the competitiveness of titanium alloys in the overall metal materials market at a lower price. It is widely recognized that titanium has other materials incomparable superior performance, but the price of titanium is often discouraged by consumers (especially automobile manufacturers), the emergence of low-cost titanium alloys will help expand the application of titanium and titanium alloys.

From the current situation of domestic and foreign applications and the development of titanium processing technology, titanium and titanium alloy processing technology will be developed in the following directions:

(1) high performance, that is, the development of the use of higher temperature, higher specific strength. Higher specific modulus, better corrosion and wear resistance alloys.

(2) Multifunctionalization, that is, the development of a variety of special functions and uses of titanium alloys, such as high damping, low expansion, constant resistance, high resistance, anti-electrolytic passivation and hydrogen storage, shape memory, superconductivity, low modulus biomedical titanium alloys in order to make titanium and titanium alloys to further expand the application.

(3) Deepen the research on traditional alloys, improve the practical performance of existing alloys through equipment and process improvement, and expand the use of traditional alloys.
