Titanium Rod Manufacturing Process

Titanium rod manufacturing process

Welcome to the site of Shaanxi Haiboweier Metal Material Technology Co., Ltd. . In this video, we will show you the process of titanium rod manufacturing. Let's follow the camera to visit.

The first step in titanium rod manufacturing is smelting. This process usually adopts molten salt electrolysis or hydride thermal reduction. Molten salt electrolysis can easily produce high-purity ingots and complex-shaped bars, but the cost is high. The hydride thermal reduction method can produce a high-quality titanium material, but the production efficiency is relatively low.

After melting the titanium metal, it can be directly cast into a billet and then processed. The advantage of this method is that a large number of pre-formed bars can be produced, while the disadvantage is that the purity of the material often cannot meet high-precision applications.

Then comes heat treatment, which is one of the key steps in processing titanium materials. Heating and keeping warm at a higher temperature can improve the grain structure and enhance the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of titanium materials. Especially for high-strength titanium bars, the tensile strength before heat treatment is often low, and the design requirements can only be met after heat treatment.

Machining is the last step in titanium rod manufacturing. Titanium materials are difficult to machine because of their characteristics including good thermal conductivity, high plasticity, and difficult processing. In order to obtain high-precision processing results, high-performance special machine tools and tools are required, combined with appropriate coolants and cutting parameters.

In the plastic processing of titanium materials, in order to give full play to the advantages of drawing, that is, the quality of the drawn products is good, and thin-walled tubes and very fine wires can be processed, titanium tubes, rods and wires are often processed by drawing. In order to avoid the disadvantages of drawing, that is, the low processing rate, directly using the blanks processed by other processes can reduce the workload of drawing and improve the efficiency of plastic processing of titanium materials.
