Titanium Tubes

Pure Seamless Titanium Tubes are divided into Grade 1 and Grade 2 according to their impurity content. The interstitial impurity elements of these two industrial pure titanium gradually increase, and their mechanical strength and hardness also gradually increase, but the plasticity and toughness decrease accordingly.The industrial pure titanium Seamless Tubes commonly used in industry is Grade 2, because of its moderate corrosion resistance and comprehensive mechanical properties. Grade 1 can be used when better molding properties are required.

The elongation rate of the high-purity titanium tube can reach 50-60%, and the cross-sectional area can reach 70-80%. Although the strength of Grade 1 Grade 2 Pure Seamless Titanium Tubes is low, pure industrial titanium contains a small amount of impurities. The addition of alloy elements can significantly enhance its mechanical properties, making its strength comparable to high strength. This means that as long as the industrial pure titanium tube contains a small amount of interstitial impurities and other metal impurities, it can make it have both high strength and appropriate plasticity.

Titanium with a purity of more than 99.6% is collectively referred to as grade 1 titanium, and pure titanium with a purity of less than 99.6% is grade 2.

Application of Grade 1 Grade 2 Pure Seamless Titanium Tubes

Grade 1 Grade 2 Pure Seamless Titanium Tubes is light in weight, high in strength and superior in mechanical properties. It is widely used in heat exchange equipment, such as tubular heat exchangers, coil heat exchangers, serpentine heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, and conveying pipelines. Many nuclear power industries use Grade 1and Grade 2 titanium tubes as standard tubes for their units.

Application of titanium

1, titanium in the military application
Titanium is widely used in the military industry. Nuclear submarines, hydrofoil boats, mortar barrel, anti-tank missiles, missile launchers, tank protective plates, bullet-proof vests and other large quantities of titanium. According to the information, a typhoon class nuclear submarine, titanium up to 9,000 tons, which shows the military demand for titanium material is huge.
2. The application of titanium in aerospace
Titanium is widely used in the aviation industry. The titanium used in civil aircraft accounts for about 20 ~ 25% of the weight of the frame. In addition, strategic rocket engines, spacecraft (such as Shenzhou V, Shenzhou VI), satellite dishes and so on a large amount of titanium.
3. The application of titanium in Marine industry
In seawater, titanium has the incomparable corrosion resistance of other metal materials, especially the high speed erosion corrosion resistance of seawater. At present, the United States, Japan, France and other countries have developed a variety of advanced titanium deep submersible vehicles, submarines, undersea laboratory equipment for Marine research. In addition, titanium equipment and devices are widely used in coastal power stations, offshore oil production equipment, seawater desalination, Marine chemical production and mariculture industry.
4. Application in chemical industry
At present, the application of titanium equipment has expanded from the initial "soda ash and caustic soda industry" to the whole chemical industry, and the types of equipment have developed from small and simple to large and diversified.
5. Application in petroleum refining
In the process of petroleum refining, sulfide, chloride and other caustic agents in the oil processing products and cooling water are seriously corroded to the oil refining unit, especially the condensing equipment at the top of the atmospheric and vacuum tower in the low-temperature light oil area. The corrosion problem of the equipment has become one of the prominent problems troubling the oil refining industry.
6. Applications in the automobile industry
The light weight, high strength and other properties of titanium have long been concerned by automobile manufacturers. Titanium has been applied in racing cars for many years. At present, almost all racing cars use titanium materials.
7. Application in medicine
With the improvement of medical technology, metal implantation in human body is a very common surgical operation. Because titanium metal has a weak rejection reaction with human tissue, it is widely used in artificial bones, artificial joints, artificial teeth and other human implants.
8. Applications in sports and daily necessities
The consumption of titanium in the global golf equipment manufacturing field is huge, the annual amount of titanium used in the production of titanium golf equipment up to 6,000 tons. In addition, tennis rackets, badminton rackets, ski poles, snow shovels, mountaineering ice poles, mountaineering nails, sledges, fencing protective masks, fishing poles, bicycles, glasses frames, watches, handicrafts and other daily necessities are widely used titanium materials.
9. Application in building materials
Titanium is used in roofing, window frames, eaves, gables, rain wall barriers, fences, exterior decorative siding, interior trim, monuments, epitaphs, nameplates, alcoves, makeup posts and air conditioners.
10. Applications in the nuclear industry
In addition to the above uses, titanium is an indispensable and important material for the development of the nuclear industry. In addition to zirconium and hafnium, many equipment, pipes and related components used in nuclear reactors also need a large amount of titanium and titanium base alloy materials.
