Titanium tube annealing is a heat treatment process, by heating the titanium tube to a certain temperature, and in a certain period of time to control the cooling rate to change the organizational structure and properties of titanium tube. Annealing can eliminate the stress of titanium tube processing, improve grain refinement, thereby improving corrosion resistance, strength and other performance parameters.
Second, the flow of titanium tube annealing process
1. pretreatment
Before annealing, the titanium tube needs to be pre-treated, including cleaning, removal of oil and oxide layer and other processing.
2. Heating
The cleaned titanium tube is placed in the annealing furnace for heating. The heating temperature, time and cooling speed of annealing need to be adjusted according to the specific material and requirements.
3. Cooling
After the heating treatment, the titanium tubes need to be cooled at different temperatures to control the lattice structure and properties of the tubes.
4. Post-treatment
After the annealing of titanium tubes is completed, post-treatment is required, including cleaning and inspection and other treatments.
Third, titanium tube annealing process considerations
1. titanium tube is easy to oxidize in the annealing process, need to be heated and cooled in a protective atmosphere. 2.
2. different types of titanium tubes need to use different annealing process, can not be generalized. 3.
3. in the heating and cooling process need to control the temperature and speed, in order to avoid grain growth, hardness reduction and other problems.
4. in the annealing process of titanium tube, need to strictly comply with the corresponding operating procedures and safety requirements.
Through the introduction of this article, I believe the readers of the titanium tube annealing process has a more comprehensive understanding. In actual operation, according to the specific circumstances and process requirements for reasonable adjustment and control to ensure the performance and quality of titanium tubes.
