Titanium alloy plates and titanium plates are mainly used to manufacture various vessels, reactors, heat exchangers, distillation towers, pipes, pumps and valves in the petrochemical machinery manufacturing industry. Titanium can be used as a condenser for titanium cathodes and power stations and as an environmental pollution control device. The hardness of steel is higher than that of titanium plate, but the specific strength or tensile strength of titanium alloy is higher than that of high-quality steel. Titanium alloys have good heat resistance, low-temperature toughness and fracture toughness, so they are mostly used as aircraft engine parts and rocket and missile structural parts. Titanium alloys can also be used as fuel and oxidant storage tanks and high-pressure containers. Titanium alloys are now used to manufacture automatic rifles, mortar seat plates, and launch tubes for recoilless guns.
1. Memory function
Titanium-nickel alloys have unidirectional, bidirectional and omnidirectional memory effects at certain ambient temperatures and are recognized as the preferred memory titanium alloys. It is used in engineering to make pipe joints for the oil pressure system of fighter jets; oil pipeline system of petroleum joint enterprises; 500mm diameter parabolic mesh antenna made of 0.5mm diameter wire is used in aerospace vehicles; it is used to make snoring in medical engineering Treatment; screws made of titanium plates are used for fracture healing. The above applications have achieved obvious results.
2. Superconducting function
The niobium-titanium plate exhibits a superconducting function with zero resistance when the temperature is lower than the critical temperature.
3. Hydrogen storage function
Titanium-iron alloys have the property of absorbing hydrogen. They store large amounts of hydrogen safely and release it in a certain environment. This is very promising in applications such as hydrogen separation, hydrogen purification, hydrogen storage and transportation, manufacturing of heat pumps and batteries that use hydrogen as an energy source.
The titanium oxide, titanium dioxide, is a snow-white powder and a good white pigment, commonly known as titanium white. In the past, people mine titanium ore, the main purpose is to obtain titanium dioxide. Titanium white has strong adhesion, is not easy to change chemically, and is always white. Especially valuable is that titanium dioxide is non-toxic. It has a high melting point and is used to make refractory glass, glaze, enamel, clay, high-temperature resistant laboratory utensils, etc.
