1. Material properties: - Strength-to-weight ratio: Titanium Alloy are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio, making them ideal for applications where weight reduction is critical. - Corrosion Resistance: Titanium alloys have excellent corrosion resistance and are therefore suitable for use in harsh environments.
- Biocompatibility: Certain grades of titanium alloys are biocompatible and can be used in medical implants.
2. Design Considerations: - Complexity: Special designs can be more complex due to material properties and processing requirements.
- Tolerance: Depending on the application, high precision may be required, so the tolerance needs to be strictly controlled during machining, you need to communicate with our engineers about your specific application area.
- Surface Finish: Good surface finish is important for functionality and aesthetics, especially in visible or high performance applications.
3. Application: - Aerospace: For aircraft components such as landing gear, engine components and structural parts.
- Automotive: for lightweight components such as suspension parts, engine parts, and body components.
- Medical devices: implants, surgical tools and dental implants.
- Sports equipment Golf clubs, bicycle frames and other high-performance sporting goods.
4. Manufacturing processes: - CNC Machining: Computer Numerical Control (CNC) machining is commonly used to manufacture titanium parts because of its precision and flexibility.
- Turning and Milling: Operations that require careful control of cutting parameters to achieve desired results.
- Heat Treatment: Post-machining heat treatment may be required to obtain specific mechanical properties.
5. Quality Assurance: - Inspection: Periodic inspections using methods such as ultrasonic testing, X-ray imaging, and visual inspections are performed to ensure compliance with specifications.
- Testing and Certification: Third party data testing is obtained from the BaoTi Testing Center as soon as the product is released and meets various industry standards and certifications (e.g. AS9100 for aerospace).
