What is extruded titanium tube?
Introduce
Extruded titanium pipes include cold-rolled pipes, spun pipes, and drawn pipes. Most of titanium extruded products are cold-processed pipe blanks, and they also include some hot-extruded pipes, special-shaped parts, profiles and composite materials used as finished products. The minimum specification of the pipe is 2mmx0.5mm in diameter, and the maximum length of high-precision ultra-long pure titanium seamless pipe can reach 15m.
What is extruded titanium tube?
Extruded titanium tube is a method of manufacturing titanium tubes by heating a titanium alloy blank to a plastic state, and then extruding the blank into a tube of the desired shape through an extruder. This method can produce titanium tubes with high strength, excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight properties.
Classification of titanium tubes
1. The extrusion type is called seamless titanium tube: it refers to the seamless tube made by special extrusion and drawing process after titanium alloy billet is heated. Seamless titanium alloy pipes have excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance and are suitable for applications in high temperature, high pressure and corrosive environments, such as aerospace, chemical industry and energy.
2. The welding type is called welded titanium pipe: the process of joining two or more titanium alloy materials together to form a pipe using a welding process. Welding titanium pipes can be achieved through different welding methods, such as TIG (argon arc welding), EB (electron beam welding), etc. Welded titanium pipes have high connection strength and sealing properties.
Characteristics of extruded titanium tubes
1. High purity: The raw material is high-purity virtual titanium ingot, which is prepared through extrusion process. It has high purity and good chemical stability and corrosion resistance.
2. High strength: It has high strength and stiffness, can withstand greater pressure and load, and has good elastic properties.
3. Good welding performance: Extruded titanium pipe can be welded with other titanium alloys or stainless steel. The connection has high strength, good air tightness and is not prone to leakage.
4. Convenient processing: It can be processed by cutting, bending, stretching and other processing methods. It is easy to operate and suitable for various complex application scenarios.
