What Are Titanium Pipes & Tubes?
Titanium pipes and tubes have become essential parts of various industries due to their exceptional characteristics, particularly strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, temperature stability and versatility - qualities which make them popular choices in demanding applications.
Titanium pipes and tubes offer many distinct advantages when it comes to corrosion resistance, with exceptional performances in seawater environments, acids, alkalis, and chlorine solutions being among them. Titanium's outstanding corrosion-resistance makes it the go-to material when reliability or performance matters greatly - such as its use for applications requiring long-term reliability such as seawater applications or chlorine solutions solutions. This property makes titanium tubes suitable for applications where long-term performance reliability must be prioritized over corrosion risks.
Titanium pipes and tubes present some unique challenges when it comes to being machined due to their inherent strength and toughness, necessitating special tools and techniques for effective processing. To advances in machining technology, however, the process has greatly been enhanced, enabling precise fabrication of titanium components--such as pipes or tubes--meeting specific requirements more reliably than before.
Titanium pipes and tubes stand out for their easy weldability, with various techniques like gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) and electron beam welding (EBW) suitable for joining them together reliably, maintaining both integrity and performance throughout. While such practices as GTAW or EBW exist, proper precautions must be taken in order to avoid contamination as well as ensure quality welds; proper procedures and expertise can make titanium weldability reliable while upholding its integrity and performance over time.
Titanium pipes and tubes find uses across numerous industries, from aerospace to marine, chemical processing, medical and automotive sectors. Their applications span sectors like aerospace, marine, chemical processing, medical and automotive. Aerospace uses titanium tubes in aircraft structures, engines and hydraulic systems due to their light yet strong characteristics while medical researchers utilize titanium tubes due to biocompatibility and corrosion resistance for prosthetic implants and surgical instruments owing to biocompatibility and corrosion resistance properties of titanium pipes and tubes.
Titanium pipes and tubes have applications beyond these specific industries; their versatility, corrosion resistance, strength, and versatility makes them essential components in various high-performance applications such as power generation plants, desalination facilities, sports equipment manufacturing facilities, automotive exhaust systems. Titanium tubes play an integral part of modern engineering and manufacturing processes across different fields - thus contributing to advances in various sectors.
Melting and Casting
Steel and alloying metals are loaded into an electric arc furnace. Once in the furnace, the metal is heated to a specific temperature above its melting point, usually in excess of 2800°F.
Rolling and welding
Aluminum Pipes & Tubes may undergo rolling processes to refine their dimensions and improve surface finish. Welding techniques like TIG or MIG welding are utilized for this process
Cleaning and heating phase
These Pipes & Tubes are subjected to cleaning to remove the dirt. Further, a heat treatment is given to these rolled pipes and tubes to remove the stresses that may occur due to welding and formation processes.
Cold - drawing process
The Pipes & Tubes are coated with oxalic and soap solution. In the cold drawing process, the tube or pipe is drawn over the bench using Die plugs.
Finishing process
The stainless tubes or pipes thus produced will undergo certain testing and quality checks. This process is followed by proper packing and dispatch.
