Titanium Alloy Rods

The properties of titanium alloy rods:

  1. They can be easily shaped when heated.
  2. They have high welding strength, reaching up to 90%.
  3. They have good mechanical strength.
  4. They resist corrosion well.
  5. They can be used at temperatures up to 400℃ for long periods.

Product Introduction

α alloys have some elements that help stabilize the α phase, which is their main structure. They are lightweight, have good heat resistance, can be welded easily, and resist corrosion well. However, they are not very strong at room temperature, so they are mostly used for heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant applications. There are different types of α alloys, including:

  • All-α Alloys: Like TA7
  • Near-α Alloys: Like Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V
  • α Alloys with Small Compounds: Like Ti-2.5Cu

Titanium Rod Production Grades
In the U.S., titanium rods are labeled with grades like GR1, GR2, GR3, GR5, GR7, and GR12.

Production Conditions
Titanium rods can be made under different conditions:

  • Thermal Working Condition (R)
  • Cold Working Condition (Y)
  • Annealed State (M)
  • Solution State (ST)

Manufacturing Process
The process to make titanium rods includes:

  • Hot forging
  • Hot rolling
  • Polishing

Standards for Titanium Rods
Titanium rods follow American standards like ASTM B348, ASTM F136, ASTM F67, and AMS4928.

Types of Titanium Alloys
Titanium alloys can be grouped into three main types based on their structure:

  1. α Alloys:
    • These contain elements that stabilize the α phase. They are lightweight, heat-resistant, easy to weld, and resist corrosion well. However, they are not very strong at room temperature and are usually used for heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant applications. Examples include all-α alloys (like TA7), near-α alloys (like Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V), and α alloys with small compounds (like Ti-2.5Cu).
  2. (α+β) Alloys:
    • These have both α and β phases. They have medium strength and can be made stronger with heat treatment, but they are not great for welding. A common example is the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, which is used a lot in the industry.
  3. β Alloys:
    • These contain elements that stabilize the β phase, allowing them to keep their structure even at room temperature. β alloys can be heat-treated for better strength and are typically used for high-strength applications. However, they are heavier, more expensive, harder to weld, and difficult to cut.

Reference Standards
Here are some reference standards related to titanium:

  1. GB 228: Metal tensile test method
  2. GB/T 3620.1: Titanium number and chemical composition
  3. GB/T 3620.2: Chemical composition and allowable deviation of titanium and titanium alloy processed products
  4. GB 4698: Titanium sponge and titanium alloy chemistry
