Titanium plate is a metal plate made of Titanium Material or Titanium Alloy, which is widely used in various industrial fields due to its unique physical and chemical properties. The following is a detailed introduction to Titanium Sheet, including its size, standards and applications. 1. Characteristics of titanium plate
Lightweight and high strength: The density of titanium is about 4.51g/cm³, which is slightly heavier than aluminum, but has higher strength, more than twice that of steel. Therefore, titanium plate performs well in occasions that require lightweight and high strength.
Strong corrosion resistance: Titanium has good resistance to acid, alkali and seawater corrosion, and is particularly suitable for use in the chemical, marine and aerospace fields.
High temperature stability: Titanium can still maintain good strength and performance in high temperature environments, and is suitable for high temperature working environments.
Good biocompatibility: Titanium has good biocompatibility, does not produce toxic reactions to the human body, and is widely used in medical devices and implants.
2. Size of titanium plate
The size of titanium plate has a variety of specifications, depending on its thickness, width and length. Common sizes include:
Thickness: The thickness of titanium plates ranges from 0.5mm to more than 100mm, and is usually divided into thin plates (0.5-4mm), medium and thick plates (4-30mm) and thick plates (>30mm).
Width: The width of titanium plates is generally between 1000mm and 2500mm, and the specific size can be customized according to demand.
Length: The length of titanium plates is usually between 2000mm and 6000mm, and can also be cut according to customer requirements.
Other specifications: Some special applications also require customized shapes, processing surface treatments and other features.
3. Standards for titanium plates
The production and testing standards for titanium plates mainly include international standards and national standards, and different standards have different scopes of application. Common standards include:
ASTM B265: This is the standard for titanium plates and titanium alloy plates formulated by the American Society for Testing and Materials, which is widely used in the international market.
AMS 4911: American aviation material standard, mainly used in the aerospace field.
GB/T 3621: China's national standard, which specifies the technical requirements for titanium plates and titanium alloy plates.
ISO 5832-2: International Organization for Standardization standard for titanium and titanium alloy surgical implants.
DIN 17850: German industrial standard for titanium and titanium alloy products.
IV. Application of titanium plates
Due to its unique properties, titanium plates are widely used in many fields, including:
Aerospace: Titanium plates are widely used in aircraft structural components, engine components and rocket parts. Its light weight, high strength and high temperature resistance can significantly reduce the weight of the aircraft and improve fuel efficiency.
Chemical industry: In the chemical industry, titanium plates are used to manufacture corrosion-resistant containers, heat exchangers, pumps and valves. Its acid and alkali corrosion resistance makes it particularly suitable for use in corrosive media.
Marine engineering: Titanium plates have strong corrosion resistance in seawater environments and are suitable for marine equipment such as ships, submarines and offshore drilling platforms.
Medical: Due to the biocompatibility of titanium, titanium plates are used to make surgical implants, bone plates and dental materials.
Sporting goods: Some high-end sporting goods, such as bicycle frames, golf clubs and tennis rackets, also use titanium plates to improve durability and reduce weight.
Automotive industry: Titanium plates are used in racing and high-performance car parts, such as exhaust systems and suspension parts, to reduce weight and improve performance.
4. Processing and treatment
The processing of titanium plates is relatively complicated, mainly because of their high hardness and easy oxidation. Common processing methods include cutting, stamping, bending and welding. In addition, the surface treatment of titanium plates is also very important. Common surface treatment methods include sandblasting, pickling, anodizing, etc., to improve their corrosion resistance and aesthetics.
