High Strength Ti6Al4V Titanium Alloy Square Rod - China Suppliers & Factory for Corrosion Resistant Applications
Product Description
The titanium square bar serves as a fixture and pendant material primarily for the electroplating industry and metal pickling operations. Manufactured predominantly from TA1 or TA2 commercially pure titanium grades, it offers exceptional corrosion resistance, high specific strength, and excellent heat resistance. Available in standard dimensions such as 6x6 mm, 8x8 mm, 10x10 mm, and 12x12 mm, custom sizes can also be produced to meet specific requirements. Production adheres to international and domestic standards, including ASTM and GB/T. This material finds widespread application across diverse sectors including chemical processing, medical equipment, machinery manufacturing, and electroplating.
Performance Characteristics
Titanium has a density of approximately 4.51 g/cm³, roughly 60% that of steel. Certain high-strength titanium alloys exceed the strength of many alloy structural steels.
Titanium exhibits far superior corrosion resistance to stainless steel in humid atmospheres and seawater environments. It demonstrates particularly high resistance to pitting, acid attack, and stress corrosion cracking.
Operating ranges span from -196°C to 600°C. It maintains strength at moderate temperatures and is suitable for long-term service at 450-500°C. At cryogenic temperatures, it retains good ductility and toughness.
The material possesses mature processing characteristics and can be readily machined into desired shapes and dimensions through various methods such as turning, milling, and drilling.
Non-magnetic, non-toxic, tensile strength close to yield strength, good heat transfer properties, low modulus of elasticity. Additionally, it exhibits gas absorption, shape memory, superconductivity, and hydrogen storage.
Production Process
Titanium square bars are typically manufactured using processes like forging and rolling. The production sequence includes hot working, annealing treatments, and ultrasonic testing (UT) for defect detection. Finished products feature a turned finish and chamfered edges to ensure freedom from porosity or cracks.
Applications
A primary material for titanium fixtures and hangers used in electroplating and metal pickling operations.
Titanium square bars made from alloys like TC4 are used to manufacture components such as compressor blade shafts, turbine disk linkages, landing gear support struts, and wing spar fasteners.
Suitable for chlor-alkali production, vacuum salt manufacturing, and petrochemical equipment, offering resistance to acids, alkalis, and seawater corrosion.
Medical-grade titanium square bars (e.g., TA1-ELI) are used to fabricate implants and instruments, such as prosthetic joint stems, spinal fixation rods, and surgical tools.
Its excellent seawater corrosion resistance makes it suitable for applications such as ship piping system construction.
