What are the properties and uses of titanium alloy pipes?

1、 How about titanium alloy pipes

The density of titanium alloy is generally around 4.51g/cubic centimeter, which is only 60% of that of steel. The density of pure titanium is only close to that of ordinary steel, and some high-strength titanium alloys exceed the strength of many alloy structural steels. Therefore, the specific strength (strength/density) of titanium alloy is much higher than that of other metal structural materials, and the components produced have high strength, good rigidity, and light weight.

2. The usage temperature is several hundred degrees higher than that of aluminum alloy, and it can still maintain the required strength at medium temperatures. It can work for a long time at temperatures ranging from 450 to 500 ℃. These two types of titanium alloys still have high specific strength in the range of 150 ℃ to 500 ℃, while aluminum alloy has a significant decrease in specific strength at 150 ℃. The working temperature of titanium alloy can reach 500 ℃, while that of aluminum alloy is below 200 ℃.

3. With its excellent properties, titanium alloy has gradually become one of the new important structural materials commonly used in the aerospace industry. Titanium alloy is located between aluminum and steel in terms of specific gravity, strength, and temperature range. However, titanium alloy itself has superior properties, such as high specific strength, excellent resistance to seawater corrosion, and ultra-low temperature performance.

4. Titanium alloy can still maintain its mechanical properties at low and ultra-low temperatures. Titanium alloys with good low-temperature performance and extremely low interstitial elements, such as TA7, can maintain a certain degree of plasticity at -253 ℃. Therefore, titanium alloy is also an important low-temperature structural material.

What are the uses of titanium alloy pipes

2、 The use of titanium alloy pipes

1. Titanium alloy is mainly used to make compressor components for aircraft engines, followed by structural components for rockets, missiles, and high-speed aircraft. In the mid-1960s, titanium and its alloys were already used in general industry for making electrodes in the electrolysis industry, condensers in power plants, heaters for petroleum refining and seawater desalination, and environmental pollution control devices. Titanium and its alloys have become a corrosion-resistant structural material. In addition, it is also used for the production of hydrogen storage materials and shape memory alloys.

2. Titanium alloys can be divided into heat-resistant alloys, high-strength alloys, corrosion-resistant alloys (titanium molybdenum, titanium palladium alloys, etc.), low-temperature alloys, and special functional alloys (titanium iron hydrogen storage materials and titanium nickel memory alloys) according to their uses
