Feasible methods for identifying counterfeit and inferior titanium rod products

When we are purchasing titanium rods, we all want to buy high-quality titanium rods, but how can we distinguish the quality of titanium rods? Xigong Titanium Alloy teaches us how to make good or bad titanium rods from multiple aspects and perspectives.
1. Fake and inferior titanium rods often have a rough surface.
The pitted surface is due to the severe wear of the rolling groove, resulting in the irregular and uneven appearance of titanium material. Because manufacturers of fake and inferior titanium rods seek profits, they often exhibit overspending in groove rolling.
2. The reason for the simple scratches on fake and inferior titanium rods is that the equipment of the fake and inferior titanium rod manufacturer is simple and prone to burrs, which can scratch the surface of the titanium material. Deep scratches reduce the strength of titanium materials.
3. The transverse bars of fake and inferior titanium rods are thin and low, often presenting the appearance of insufficient filling. The reason is that the manufacturer, in order to achieve a large negative service, presses the first few layers of the product too much, the iron shape is too small, and the hole shape is not fully filled.
4. Fake and inferior titanium rods are prone to folding.
Folding is the various folding lines formed on the surface of titanium rods, which often run through the longitudinal direction of the entire product. The reason for the occurrence of folding is because counterfeit manufacturers seek to reduce the yield, resulting in excessive pressing and ear cracking. The folding occurs during the next rolling process, and the folded product will crack after bending, greatly reducing the strength of titanium material.
5. Fake and inferior titanium rods are prone to scarring on the surface.
There are two reasons: (1) The raw materials of fake and inferior titanium rods are uneven and contain many impurities. (2) The guide and guard equipment of fake and inferior material manufacturers is rudimentary, with simple titanium sticking. These impurities can easily cause scarring after biting the rolling mill.
6. Fake and inferior materials are prone to cracking on the surface because their raw materials are adobe, which has many pores. During the cooling process, adobe cracks occur due to thermal stress, and after rolling, cracks appear.
7. The fake titanium rod has no metallic luster and appears in a light red or similar color to pig iron, for two reasons: its billet is adobe. The temperature for rolling fake and inferior materials is not standardized, and their titanium temperature is visually measured. This makes it impossible to roll according to the regular austenite region, and the function of titanium materials is naturally unqualified.
8. The cross-section of the fake titanium rod is elliptical, because the manufacturer, in order to save data, has pressed the first two layers of the product roller too much, which greatly reduces the strength of this threaded titanium and does not meet the specifications for the external dimensions of threaded titanium.
