2、 Classified by manufacturing process
Welded titanium storage tank: formed by rolled plate argon arc welding, low cost, suitable for low-pressure environments;
Seamless titanium storage tank: formed by hot extrusion or spinning process, with uniform wall thickness and better pressure resistance.
Brand: TA2 TC4、 TA10, Gr7
1. Material Forming:
Cold rolling forming: The titanium plate is formed by a rolling machine, and the roller surface needs to be covered with a stainless steel protective layer to prevent surface contamination;
Hot rolling forming: Heating to above 800 ℃ for plastic processing, used for manufacturing complex curved storage tanks.
2. Welding process:
Argon shielded welding: The weld strength should reach more than 90% of the base metal, and the purity of argon gas should be controlled to be ≥ 99.999%;
Laser welding: used for ultra-thin wall storage tanks, reducing the heat affected zone by 50%.
3. Surface treatment:
Acid pickling passivation: cleaning with a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid to generate a dense TiO ₂ oxide film;
Sandblasting treatment: Improve coating adhesion and control roughness within Ra3.2-6.3 μ m.
1. Corrosion resistance:
The resistance to urea corrosion is 10 times higher than that of ultra-low carbon stainless steel;
