Titanium Pipes

Product Introduction:

Titanium pipes are tubular structural components made of titanium or titanium alloys, which possess characteristics such as lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility. They are widely used in high-end fields such as a
Product Category:


1. Classify by material

Industrial pure titanium tubes: TA1 and TA2 grades, known for their corrosion resistance and processability, suitable for chemical heat exchangers and electroplated anodes;

Titanium alloy tube:

α+β alloy tube: such as TC4, with excellent comprehensive performance, used for aviation engine components;

Corrosion resistant alloy tube: such as TA10, resistant to crevice corrosion, suitable for seawater desalination equipment.

2. Classified by processing technology

Seamless titanium tube: formed by hot extrusion or cold rolling, with uniform wall thickness, used in high-pressure scenarios;

Welded titanium tube: using coil welding technology, low cost, suitable for low-pressure medium transportation.


Common brand:


Domestic grades: TA2, TC4, TA9, Gr23;

International grades: Gr2, Gr5, Gr7, TC4 ELI.


Production process:


1. Melting: Vacuum consumable arc furnace or electron beam melting is used to ensure impurity content<0.1%;

2. Molding process:

Hot extrusion: heated to 800-950 ℃, extruded through a mold to form a blank tube;

Cold rolling/cold drawing: precision machining to target size at room temperature, surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.4 μ m;

3. Welding process: argon arc welding or laser welding, with a weld strength of over 90% of the base metal;

4. Surface treatment: acid washing, sandblasting or anodizing to enhance corrosion resistance and aesthetics.


Performance characteristics:


High strength and lightweight: TC4 titanium tube has a tensile strength of 895-1100MPa and a density of only 60% of steel;

Corrosion resistance: It has better corrosion resistance to seawater and chlor alkali media than stainless steel, and its service life is increased by 3-5 times;

Temperature adaptability: TA7 titanium tubes maintain toughness at -253 ℃, while TC11 alloy tubes can be used for long-term high temperatures up to 600 ℃;

Biocompatibility: Compliant with ISO 5832 standard, non-toxic, non-magnetic, suitable for human implantation scenarios.


Application areas:


Aerospace: engine compressor components, fuel delivery pipelines;

Chemical Ocean: seawater desalination equipment, chlor alkali reactors;

Energy industry: cooling pipes for nuclear power plants, bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cells;

Military equipment: missile shells, lightweight components for armored vehicles.
