Titanium alloy tube, TC4 titanium tube, industrial pure titanium tube characteristics and functions
Titanium is plastic. The elongation of high purity titanium can reach 50 ~ 60%, and the shrinkage of section can reach 70 ~ 80%. Although the strength of high purity titanium is low, a small amount of impurities and alloying elements in pure industrial titanium can significantly strengthen its mechanical properties and make its strength comparable to high strength titanium. That is to say, as long as the industrial pure titanium tube contains a small amount of gap impurities and other metal impurities, it can have both high strength and appropriate plasticity. The specific strength (strength to weight ratio) of industrial pure titanium tube is very high in metal structural materials, its strength is comparable to steel, but its weight is only 57% of steel. In addition, the titanium tube has strong heat resistance, and can still maintain good strength and stability in the atmosphere of 500℃. Titanium tube also has good low temperature resistance, even in the ultra-low temperature of -250℃, it still has high impact strength, high pressure resistance and vibration resistance.
Another remarkable characteristic of industrial pure titanium tube is strong corrosion resistance, which is due to its strong affinity for oxygen, which can generate a layer of dense oxide film on its surface, which can protect titanium from medium corrosion. Therefore, titanium has good stability in acidic, alkaline, neutral salt aqueous solution and oxidizing medium, and corrosion resistance is better than existing stainless steel and other non-ferrous metals. The application range of industrial pure titanium tube is very wide. At present, industrial pure titanium tube not only has a very important application in aerospace and aviation industry, but also has been widely used in chemical industry, petroleum, light industry, power generation and many other industrial sectors.
Because pure industrial titanium tube has light weight, high strength, strong heat resistance, corrosion resistance and many other excellent characteristics, known as the "metal of the future", is a new structural material with a promising future.
