Titanium and titanium alloy manufacturing technology

Since the cost titanium alloy is very high, in order to make cost reduction to lower the price increases throughout the metal alloy materials market competitiveness. It is widely believed Titanium has incomparable superiority of other material, but the price of titanium often consumers (especially the car manufacturers) prohibitive, appears low quality titanium will certainly help expand the application of titanium and titanium alloys.

    From the present situation of the development of applications and titanium processing technology, the plastic processing technology of titanium and titanium alloys in the future will be towards the following directions:

    (1) high-performance, namely the development of the use of higher temperatures, higher than the strength higher than the modulus, corrosion resistance and abrasion resistance and better alloys.

    (2) multi-functional, namely the development of a variety of special features and use of titanium alloys, such as high damping, low expansion, constant resistance, high resistance, resistance to electrolytic passivation and hydrogen storage, shape memory, superconductivity, low modulus biological medical and other alloys, in order to make titanium and titanium alloys to further expand the application.

    (3) to deepen the study of traditional alloys, through equipment and process improvements, improved performance of existing practical alloys, expanding the use of conventional alloys.

    (4) the use of advanced processing technology, processing equipment, large-scale, continuous, continuous processing technology development, direct rolling technology, cold forming technology and productivity performance of titanium alloy, the yield and product near net shape technology to improve

    (5) cost of the development of free alloy containing less noble metal elements, add iron, oxygen, nitrogen and other low-cost elements, shaping the development of easy processing, easy cutting, alloying elements and inexpensive titanium master alloy. Developed to maximize the use of titanium material crippled, maimed titanium improve recycling rates. This is particularly important to reduce the cost of civil Titanium.

    (6) the use of advanced computer technology to simulate the deformation of the workpiece machining process, forecasting the evolution of the microstructure of the metal, and even predict the mechanical properties of the final product (yield strength, tensile strength, elongation and hardness, designed or modified for mold, tooling; analysis and processing test results, reducing test, improve work efficiency and reduce development costs.
