Introduction of Titanium Flange

2025,04,08

A Titanium Flange is a part made using the non-ferrous metal Titanium Material or Titanium Alloy, and is primarily used to connect pipe to pipe, usually attached to the end of the pipe. It connects two flanges by bolts and uses a gasket seal between the flange to ensure a tight and leak-free connection.

Material properties and application areas of Titanium Flange

Titanium flange is widely used in several industrial fields due to their unique physicochemical properties. Its main properties include:

Lightweight: the density of titanium is about 4.5g/cm³, which is only 60% of that of steel, which is conducive to reducing the overall weight of piping systems.

Corrosion resistance: titanium shows excellent corrosion resistance in a variety of corrosive environments such as seawater, brine, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, etc., and is suitable for use in fields such as chemical and marine engineering.

High-temperature performance: titanium material has good mechanical properties and creep resistance at high temperatures, and can work for a long time at a temperature of about 300°C

Non-magnetic: It is suitable for applications requiring no magnetic interference, such as precision instruments and medical devices.

Biocompatibility: titanium has good biocompatibility, will not cause human rejection, widely used in the field of medical equipment.

Titanium flange are widely used in the following fields:

Petroleum, chemical, electric power, metallurgy: in these industries, titanium flanges excel due to their corrosion resistance and high temperature performance.

Chemical fiber, food, manufacturing, chlor-alkali, vacuum salt making, bioengineering, in these fields, titanium flanges are ideal because of their light weight and corrosion resistance.

Marine engineering: Titanium flanges perform well in corrosive environments such as seawater and salt water.

Manufacturing process and testing methods

The manufacturing process of titanium flanges includes casting, forging, precision casting and welding. Casting is suitable for flanges with complex shapes and low requirements for dimensional accuracy; forging is suitable for flanges with simple shapes and high requirements for dimensional accuracy; precision casting is suitable for flanges with high precision and complex shapes; welding, including fusion welding and brazing, is suitable for the manufacture of flanges with special shapes or large sizes. Chemical composition analysis, dimensional inspection, non-destructive testing (e.g. ultrasonic and ray testing), mechanical property testing and sealing performance testing are required in the manufacturing process to ensure product quality.
