Grade 5 titanium tube

Grade 5 titanium tube 

 Titanium tubes and seamless tubes are classified into commercial pure titanium tubes and alloy titanium tubes. Zhuo Hangxin Metal is a leading manufacturer and supplier of titanium tubes of different grades and sizes. The specifications of titanium tubes are ASTM B338 and ASTM B861.

Grade 5 titanium seamless tubes (Ti-6Al-4V) are the most widely used titanium alloy tubes, and their output accounts for almost half of all titanium alloys. Grade 5 (6Al-4V) titanium belongs to α+β type titanium alloy. Its structure consists of α solid solution and β solid solution.

Next, let’s take a look at the characteristics of Ti-6Al-4V tubes. First, it has a higher strength-to-density ratio, which means it is lighter than other materials when subjected to the same force. Secondly, it has good corrosion resistance and can maintain stability even in extreme environments. Moreover, the Ti-6Al-4V tube has extremely high fatigue strength and is not easy to break even under repeated stress for a long time. Finally, it has excellent thermal stability, maintaining its physical properties even at high temperatures.

So, how to make Ti-6Al-4V tube? The manufacturing process usually consists of two steps: first producing Ti-6Al-4V rods, and then processing the rods into tubes. The first step is to smelt the raw material through a vacuum or argon-protected electric arc furnace, and then form the bar through forging, rolling, etc. The second step is to process the bar into a tube by hot extrusion or cold drawing. The process requires strict control of temperature and pressure to ensure the quality of the final product.

In terms of application fields, due to its excellent performance, Ti-6Al-4V tubes are widely used in various high-end fields. For example, in the aerospace field, it is often used to make key components of aircraft and rockets; in the medical field, it is used to make artificial bones and joints due to its excellent biocompatibility; in the chemical industry, it is used to make high-pressure resistant components. , Corrosion-resistant equipment.
