Development characteristics of titanium alloy materials and titanium product processing technology

Due to the high manufacturing cost of titanium alloys, in order to reduce costs, the competitiveness of titanium alloys in the entire metal material market has been improved at a lower price. It is generally believed that titanium has incomparable superior performance compared with other materials, but the price of titanium often discourages consumers (especially automakers). The emergence of high-quality, low-cost titanium alloys will certainly help the popularization and application of titanium and titanium alloys.
Judging from the application status at home and abroad and the development of titanium processing technology, the plastic processing technology of titanium and titanium alloys will develop in the following directions in the future:
1) High performance, that is, the development of alloys with higher service temperature, higher specific strength, higher specific modulus, better corrosion resistance and wear resistance.
2) Multi-function, namely the development of titanium alloys with various special functions and uses, such as high damping, low expansion, constant resistance, high resistance, resistance to electrolytic passivation and hydrogen storage, shape memory, superconductivity, low modulus biomedical Other titanium alloys, and further expand the application of titanium and titanium alloys.
3) Deepen the research of traditional alloys, improve the practical performance of existing alloys, and expand the application range of traditional alloys through the improvement of equipment and processes.
4) Adopt advanced processing technology and large-scale continuous processing equipment to develop continuous processing technology, direct rolling technology, cold forming technology and near-net forming technology to improve the production efficiency, yield and product performance of titanium alloys.
5) Reduce costs, develop alloys that contain no or almost no precious metal elements, and add cheap elements such as iron, oxygen and nitrogen, and develop titanium alloys that are easy to process and shape, easy to cut, and alloy elements and master alloys are cheap. Develop titanium alloys and use banned materials to increase the recovery rate and utilization rate of banned titanium. This is particularly important for reducing the cost of civilian titanium alloys.
6) Use advanced computer technology to simulate the deformation and processing of the workpiece, predict the evolution of the metal microstructure, and even predict the mechanical properties of the product (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation, hardness, etc.). ), and design or improve molds and tooling; analyze and process test results, reduce test volume, improve work efficiency, and reduce development costs.

Titanium tube has good strength and mechanical properties

Titanium tubes are light in weight, high in strength, and superior in mechanical properties. They are widely used in heat exchange equipment, such as tubular heat exchangers, serpentine tube heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators and transportation pipelines. At present, many nuclear power industries use titanium tubes as standard tubes for their units. The titanium tube is made by an extrusion process, and the welded titanium tube is made by crimping and welding the plate. Generally, seamless titanium pipe has a relatively small wall thickness and a relatively small diameter.
Technical requirements for titanium tube:
1. The allowable deviation of the outer diameter of the pipe meets the requirements of Table 1.
2. The length of the pipe should meet the requirements of Table 2.
3. The allowable deviation of pipe wall thickness should not exceed ±12.5% ​​of its nominal wall thickness. The allowable deviation of pipe wall thickness is not suitable for the weld of titanium welded pipe.
4. The chemical composition of titanium and titanium alloy tubes meets the requirements of GB/T3620.1, and the allowable deviation of the chemical composition meets the requirements of GB/t3620.2 when the buyer re-inspects.
5. Within the range of fixed length or multiple lengths of the pipe, the allowable deviation of the fixed-length is ±10mm, and the multiple lengths should also be included in the cut amount when the pipe is cut. Each cut should be 5mm.
Titanium alloy has high strength, low density, good mechanical properties, toughness and corrosion resistance. In addition, titanium alloys have poor process performance and difficult cutting processing. In hot processing, it is very easy to absorb impurities such as hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon. It also has poor abrasion resistance and complex production processes.

How to remove the reactive layer of titanium screws

When titanium screws are not subjected to any surface treatment, the color of the entire screw is silver-gray, and it is super common in daily use. Sometimes there are many different colors of titanium screws on bicycles and cars. These colorful titanium screws It is so bright and colorful after a certain surface treatment, let's share with you how to eliminate the reaction layer of titanium screws.
1. Sandblasting
The sand particles are impacted on the surface of the titanium screw, thereby generating intense sparks, and the temperature rise will react with the surface of the titanium screw, forming secondary pollution and affecting the surface quality. It takes 15 to 30 seconds to remove the sticky sand, surface sintered layer and part of the oxide layer on the surface of the casting. The reaction layer on the remaining surface is quickly removed by chemical pickling.
2. Pickling
The use of pickling can quickly and effectively remove the reaction layer on the surface of the titanium screw without causing pollution of other metal elements.
Titanium screws look like steel with a silver-white luster. It is a common transition metal. Pure titanium screws have high strength, low density, high hardness, high melting point and strong corrosion-resistance, so many of them can be used.

Superplastic forming method of TC4 titanium alloy and titanium alloy plate

Titanium alloy has excellent corrosion resistance, low density, good fatigue strength and resistance to crack growth. TC4 titanium alloy is currently mainly made of titanium plates and titanium rods. The main reason for the current situation is that TC4 titanium alloy has high strength and cold Roll forming is difficult. Titanium alloy's excellent corrosion resistance and good specific strength have broad application prospects in aviation, aerospace, automobile, shipbuilding, energy and other industries.
The superplastic forming method of titanium alloy sheet can be roughly divided into the following three types: (1) vacuum forming; (2) air pressure forming (blow forming); (3) compression forming (coupling die forming). The first two methods are commonly used methods for forming plastic (or glass) products. The superplastic forming of titanium plate is viscous or semi-viscous flow deformation, so low pressure forming can be used. Air pressure forming can also be combined with vacuum forming. Titanium Metal
1. Vacuum forming method
The vacuum forming method can be divided into two types: the convex mold method and the concave mold method.
The punch method is a forming method in which the heated wool is adsorbed on a punch with the inner shape of the part, and is used to form parts that require high inner dimensional accuracy. The die method is a forming force method in which heated wool is adsorbed on a die with the shape of the part. It is used for the forming of parts that require high dimensional accuracy. Generally speaking, the former is used for forming deeper containers, and the latter is used for forming shallower containers.  T40 Titanium Bar
Vacuum forming is also a kind of air pressure forming, but the forming pressure can only be one atmosphere. Therefore, for the titanium plate, only parts with thin thickness, simple shape, and gentle curvature can be formed, and it is not suitable for forming parts with thicker thickness, more complicated shape and severe deformation. titanium forged block
2. Compression molding method
Using coupling mold. The difference from ordinary pressing is that the temperature is high and the molding speed is much slower.
Because it is difficult to manufacture metal coupling molds that can withstand the superplastic temperature of titanium plates, and the matching accuracy is difficult to ensure (especially for molds with complex shapes), superplastic forming of titanium plates is rarely used.
3. Air pressure forming method (blow molding method)
This is a special bulging process.
The traditional bulging process is realized by mechanical, hydraulic bulging or explosive bulging. The pressure and energy used are relatively high, and due to the limitation of material plasticity, the amount of deformation is generally not too large. Blow molding is a kind of forming that can obtain large deformation with low energy and low pressure. It is a sheet metal forming technology that is different from the traditional process concept. Since the metal is free in the deformation process, almost all the power is consumed in the deformation work, and the friction loss is small (for free blow molding, there is no friction loss), which is essentially different from other stamping forming . titanium rectangular rod
Blow molding can be divided into free blow molding and mold blow molding. Mold blow molding is characterized by half-mold molding. Similar to vacuum molding, it is also divided into two types: convex molding and concave molding; the difference is that the molding pressure can be greater than one atmosphere, and it is also suitable for air supply system. The pressure can be adjusted so that parts with complex shapes and large curvature changes can be manufactured.
(1) Free blow molding method
This is the simplest form of blow molding. Its characteristic is that there is no mold, and the typical parts blown are spherical parts.
(2) Punch forming method
This method is to form a closed pressure space on the outside of the titanium plate wool. After the titanium plate is heated to superplastic temperature, under the action of the compressed gas pressure, the wool produces superplastic deformation and gradually approaches the mold surface until it is the same as the mold. Completely fit, make the same parts as the mold surface. The inner surface of the formed part has high dimensional accuracy, accurate shape, large depth and width ratio, and easy mold processing, but it is difficult to demold and raw materials are more expensive. The bottom of the part formed by this method is thicker than the surrounding.
(3) Concave mold forming method
Different from the punch forming method, a closed pressure space is formed inside the titanium sheet wool during the forming process. The outer surface of the formed part has high dimensional accuracy, accurate shape, easy part demolding, less raw materials, but the depth and width are relatively small, and the mold processing is also difficult. The bottom of the part formed by this method is thinner than the surrounding.

Titanium and titanium alloy materials, as the best among metal materials, have a series of excellent properties that other metal materials can't match. Therefore, they have developed rapidly in recent years and have been rapidly and widely used in high-tech fields such as aerospace and military industry. The United States, Russia, Japan, China and other countries all over the world attach great importance to the research and development of titanium alloys, continue to develop new types of titanium alloy materials, and expand the application of titanium and titanium alloys. Due to continuous in-depth research and an increase in product series, many titanium products, such as titanium alloy wires, have also increasingly entered the fields of various civilian consumer products.
1. Classification of titanium wire

Analysis of temperature reduction of the plate heat exchanger?

Before the supersaturated sodium aluminate liquid enters the seeding tank for decomposition, the liquid needs to be cooled in the production of alumina. The temperature of the slurry that enters the seeding tank after mixing with the refined seed meets the requirements of the decomposition process (5663℃). Aluminum hydroxide with high decomposition rate, coarse particle size and good quality. A factory uses Bayer's method to produce alumina. The original design of the sodium aluminate liquid cooling process is a plate heat exchanger and vacuum cooling in series. Later, the floating liquid in the mother liquid of the vertical plate was recovered, and the plate heat exchanger was changed and transformed to form a liquid cooling process in which the plate heat exchanger is connected in series and then connected in series with the vacuum cooling. At the same time, the temperature of the mother liquid of the riser as a cold phase for heat exchange has been greatly increased, and good conditions have been invented for reducing the steam consumption in the evaporation process. High Quality Titanium Wire
Stacked at intervals. The edges between the plates are sealed with gaskets, and the plate heat exchanger is made of thin metal plates that are corrugated while forming a narrow flow channel. The cold and hot fluids flow on both sides of the plate, and exchange heat through the metal plates. The four corners of the plate are provided with flow channel holes, which constitute a fluid distribution pipe and a collecting pipe. The two ends of the whole equipment are tightly sealed with movable end caps and fixed end caps. The gap between the plates is 26mm. astm b348 titanium bar
The main advantage of the plate heat exchanger is that when the fluid flows on the corrugated surface, it changes the flow direction from time to time, destroying the stagnation flow and forming Artificial turbulence makes the medium reach turbulent flow at a low flow rate. The heat transfer coefficient is large, the structure is compact, and the heat transfer area per unit volume is large. It has a 2501250m2 heat transfer area per cubic meter volume. It is very convenient to disassemble, clean, overhaul, increase or decrease the plate to adjust the heat transfer area, and the operation flexibility is great. Gr9 Titanium Seamless Tubes For Bike Frame
But the flow channel of the medium is narrow and easy to block. The heat dissipated by the hot phase of the plate heat exchanger is transferred to the cold phase through the corrugated metal thin plate so that the cold phase absorbs the heat and the energy is utilized. The boiling temperature is low, and the vacuum cooling is based on the relationship between the boiling temperature and pressure of the solution in a closed container. Low pressure. Under vacuum, the boiling temperature is lower than that under normal pressure. The higher the vacuum, the lower the boiling temperature.  Titanium Planar Sputtering Target
When the high-temperature sodium aluminate liquid enters the vacuum container, because its own temperature is higher than the boiling temperature under the vacuum condition, the liquid achieves the purpose of lowering the temperature while performing self-evaporation. The evaporated gas is condensed by circulating cooling water and then cooled by circulation The water circulates and the liquid is concentrated and cooled. In the vacuum cooling process, part of the self-evaporated heat is taken away with the circulating cooling water and released to the air in the circulating water tower; the other part is discharged into the air with the vacuum pump. The heat of liquid self-evaporation is not reused.
