Titanium and titanium alloys have a density of only 4.51, making them smaller than steel and half the weight of steel, but about as strong as plain carbon steel. Titanium Seamless Tube and Titanium seamless tube can form a natural oxide film (titanium dioxide) with air. This layer of stable, strong adhesion and excellent protective oxide film determines the corrosion resistance of titanium. Therefore, titanium has excellent corrosion resistance, followed by light texture. Great tensile strength and favorable mechanical properties are other excellent characteristics of titanium alloy.
Titanium alloy can be divided into: corrosion resistant titanium alloy, structural titanium alloy, heat resistant titanium alloy gold, low temperature titanium alloy.
Difference between titanium and stainless steel
1. It can be distinguished by color. Titanium is a tiny bit dark, it gives off a cool color, it's cool, it's a tiny bit darker than steel. The steel is white, the pale kind. You can see the contrast between the two colors.
2. There is a chemical way to distinguish, that is, to soak with nitric acid. Titanium does not react, stainless steel a put down will have a strong reaction. The distinction between pure titanium and titanium alloys is difficult to see from the outside.
3 titanium on the tile can draw black traces, but stainless steel can not draw marks to.
4 titanium corrosion resistance is excellent: below 550℃ titanium alloy is easy to form a dense oxide film, so it is not easy to be further oxidized, on the big night gas, seawater, steam and some acid, alkali, soft media have elevated corrosion resistance.
5 titanium thermal strength is excellent: titanium alloy melting point is 1660℃, higher than iron, has a superior thermal strength, can be in 550℃ below things, at the same time at low temperature to float a better toughness.
6. Titanium processing is difficult: welding, electroplating and cold drawing are extremely difficult. Welding and plating must be carried out in vacuum or full of inert gas (vacuum ion plating).
