Titanium Performance and Applications？
May 01, 2023
Titanium is a new metal with a range of characteristics. Pure titanium and titanium alloys have a low density, high strength-to-weight ratio, good heat resistance, good low-temperature performance, excellent corrosion resistance, poor thermal conductivity, non-magnetic properties, and low elastic modulus, but high chemical reactivity.
Industrial Heat Exchangers: Where cooling media is seawater, brine, or wastewater. Hundreds of feet of titanium tubing are used on the cooling coils of power plants with no record of damage due to corrosion.
Dimensionally Stable Anodes: In the production of chlor-alkali, chlorides, and hypochlorites, titanium alloys are widely used as dimensionally stable anodes in chlor-alkali industrial production.
Desalination: Due to its excellent corrosion resistance and good cost-performance ratio, titanium alloys are the main relied-upon material in critical areas of desalination plants. In the selection of thin-walled welded pipes, titanium alloys are the best material choice.
Medical: Titanium alloys are used for implanting into the human body, surgical instruments, pacemakers, and centrifuges.
Production of Hydrocarbons: In the refining processes of natural liquefied gas and offshore platforms, titanium alloy heat exchangers, containers, reaction towers, and management systems are used.
Marine Applications: Submarine ball valves, pumps, heat exchangers, castings, deep-sea submarine hull materials, underwater engine propulsion systems, ship cooling, and piping systems.
Chemical Production Processes: Titanium alloy containers, heat exchangers, tanks, cooling piping systems, agitators, and other materials are used in the production of corrosive compounds, such as nitric acid, organic acids, chlorine dioxide, anti-reducing acids, and hydrogen sulfide.
Construction Applications: The application of titanium alloys in construction has quickly gained worldwide recognition due to their corrosion resistance, lightweight, high strength, good plasticity, and maximum life limit exceeding any other material. Typical applications include roofs, ceilings, suspended ceilings, exterior walls, sculptures, and commemorative plaques.
Typical Applications: Aerospace, plate heat exchangers, corrugated pipe compensators, expansion joints, seawater desalination, desulfurization, denitrification, chemical equipment, etc.
