What industry uses titanium plates, titanium rods and other raw materials?

Titanium is pure metal. Because of the "pureness" of titanium metal, when a substance comes in contact with it, there will be no chemical reaction. In other words, because of the high corrosion resistance and stability of titanium, it will not affect its essence after long-term contact with people, so it will not cause human allergies. It is the only one that has no effect on human autonomic nerves and taste. Metals are called "biophilic metals".
The biggest disadvantage of titanium is that it is difficult to extract. This is mainly because titanium can combine with oxygen, carbon, nitrogen and many other elements at high temperatures. Therefore, people once regarded titanium as a "rare metal". In fact, the content of titanium accounts for about 6‰ of the weight of the earth's crust, which is more than 10 times more than the sum of copper, tin, manganese and zinc.
Material characteristics: very high strength, excellent corrosion resistance in weight ratio, difficult to cold work, good weldability, about 40% lighter than steel, 60% heavier than aluminum, low conductivity, low thermal expansion, high melting point.
Typical applications: golf clubs, tennis rackets, portable computers, cameras, suitcases, surgical implants, aircraft skeletons, chemical appliances and marine equipment, etc. In addition, titanium is also used as a white pigment for paper, painting, and plastic.

Forming process of titanium rod and titanium alloy rod under hot extrusion

Due to the tendency of titanium alloy materials to fill the grinding wheel, it brings difficulties to the grinding of titanium alloy rods and TC4 titanium alloy. During grinding, a higher temperature rise is generated at the interface between the metal and the grinding wheel, causing the grinding surface to be produced. Higher residual stress, at the same time, the surface finish is not ideal.
The following methods can basically solve these difficulties:
(1) Choose a suitable grinding wheel, such as a silicon carbide grinding wheel, the size of the grit is medium (60~80), the hardness is a medium (J~M), the surface speed is 700~1200m/min, alumina (aluminum oxide powder or corundum) The grinding wheel should be used at a lower speed, such as 550~600min. It also requires medium granularity.
(2) Use lower grinding wheel speed and feed speed; due to low grinding wheel speed, less sparks are generated.
(3) Cool with buffer or cutting fluid coolant, use ceramic bond and chlorinated or sulfided cutting oil to obtain good results. No matter what type of coolant is used, it must be well filtered to eliminate the "fishtail"-like stains caused by the recycling of titanium particles.
(4) Titanium sparks may catch fire when encountering oil mist, but immersing the workpiece with oil can reduce this danger. The rust-proof ammonium nitrite aqueous solution can completely eliminate the risk of fire.
But even the best grinding conditions will reduce the fatigue performance of the workpiece
