Application of Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Titanium metal has become one of the most important anti-corrosion materials in chemical equipment and has established its anti-corrosion position in chemical equipment. As an ideal material in chemical equipment, titanium has also attracted more and more attention from engineers and technicians. After years of implementation, titanium and its alloys have been widely used in chemical production as an excellent corrosion-resistant structural material. Now the use of titanium equipment has expanded from the initial "soda ash and caustic soda industry" to chlorate, ammonium chloride, urea, organic compounds, dyes, inorganic salts, pesticides, constituent fibers, fertilizers, fine chemicals, and other industries. It has developed from small and single to large and diversified. The tool chemical sector estimates that the chemical industry will use more than 1,500 tons of titanium. Now, among the domestic chemical titanium equipment, the largest number is the heat exchanger, followed by the titanium anode and container. The query results show that titanium heat exchangers account for 56.66%, titanium anodes account for 20.41%, titanium containers account for 16.28%, and others account for 6.65%. The earliest and largest use of ASTM B861 25*1.2mm Titanium Tube For Chemical in the chemical industry is the Chlor-alkali industry. Now there are nearly 200 large, medium, and small Chlor-alkali plants in the country, most of which use titanium anode cells and ion membrane cells to produce caustic soda, so the equipment uses a large amount of titanium. Soda ash, also known as sodium carbonate, is one of the basic chemical materials. The methods of producing soda ash mainly include the trona method, ammonia-alkali method, and the combined alkali method using salt as raw material. Regardless of which process is used, the equipment will be severely corroded by media such as sodium chloride and ammonium chloride.
