What is the difference between pure titanium plate and composite titanium plate?

The main difference between pure titanium plate and composite titanium plate lies in their composition and use.

Pure titanium plate is composed of a single element (titanium dioxide), also known as "glassy" metal, with high purity. This titanium plate has good heat corrosion resistance and stress erosion cracking resistance, so it is widely used in high temperature and high pressure containers in the petrochemical industry, as well as oil production platforms and drilling platform storage tanks in marine environments, etc., as lining materials for equipment or as anti-corrosion coatings. Grade 3 Pure Titanium Sheet / Gr5 Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Plate / Gr7 Ti-0.2Pd Titanium Sheet

Composite titanium plate is a special stainless steel plate composed of two or more elements. These elements may include aluminum and other metal elements such as molybdenum and niobium, so it is also called compound steel or molybdenum-based alloy (mo-alloy) or niobium-based alloy (nicralloy). Composite titanium plate has unique physical and chemical properties due to its special alloy composition, which can meet some special application requirements.

In general, pure titanium plate and composite titanium plate are different in composition, performance and application, and need to be selected according to the specific use environment and needs.

Technological tips for machining titanium fasteners

Use blades with positive geometry to reduce cutting forces, cutting heat and workpiece deformation; keep the blade edge sharp. Blunt tools are the cause of heat buildup and wear, which can easily lead to tool failure.

Maintain a constant feed to avoid hardening of the workpiece. The tool should always be in feed during the cutting process. The radial cutting amount ae should be 30% of the radius during milling.

Use high-pressure and high-flow cutting fluid to ensure the thermal stability of the machining process and prevent surface degeneration and tool damage due to excessive temperature. titanium foil grade 5 / titanium metric screw / Gr2 Pure Titanium Plate

Process titanium alloys in the softest state as much as possible, because the material becomes more difficult to process after hardening, and heat treatment increases the strength of the material.

Use a large tip radius or chamfer to cut in and put as much of the blade into the cutting as possible. This can reduce cutting forces and heat at each point and prevent local damage. When milling titanium alloys, the cutting speed has the greatest impact on tool life vc among all cutting parameters, followed by radial cutting amount (milling depth).

Titanium screws are so widely used, what are their advantages and characteristics?

In recent years, the application of titanium screws has become more and more extensive. Among the screws of the same specifications and models, the price of titanium screws has always been higher than that of other materials, but its performance and application range have irreplaceable advantages over carbon steel screws and stainless steel screws. titanium foil grade 5 / titanium metric screw / Gr2 Pure Titanium Plate

Titanium screw products have the following advantages:

1. Low density and high strength: The density of metal titanium is 4.51g/cm3, which is higher than aluminum and lower than steel, copper and nickel, but its specific strength is the first among the above metal materials.

2. High corrosion resistance: Titanium is very stable in many media, such as titanium is the most corrosion-resistant in oxidizing, neutral and weakly reducing media.

3. Heat resistance and low temperature resistance: New titanium alloy screws can be used for a long time at 600℃ or higher. Low-temperature titanium alloys represented by titanium alloys TA7 (Ti-5Al-2.5Sn), TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) and Ti-2.5Zr-1.5Mo maintain good ductility and toughness at low temperatures of -196-253℃, avoiding metal cold brittleness, and are ideal materials for low-temperature containers, tanks and other equipment. Most of the titanium screws produced by Shishitong Metal are directly supplied to submarines, aviation power, high-end kitchen utensils, and driverless cars, making them not only resistant to high temperatures, but also able to be used normally at ultra-low temperatures.

4. Titanium is a non-magnetic metal, non-toxic, and will not be magnetized in a large magnetic field. With the enhancement of everyone's health awareness, titanium screws are widely used in medical auxiliary treatment. Titanium screws can have good compatibility with human tissues and blood even in the human body. At present, the main titanium products are heart stents, intramedullary nails, dental implants, therapeutic devices and some physical therapy equipment that have more contact with the human body. The fastener components in these devices must also be titanium products.
