Description of Titanium Tube, Titanium Pipe
Titanium, with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22, is a lustrous silver-gray metal known for its high strength, low weight, excellent corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility, making it vital in aerospace and medical industries. It comes in various grades, each tailored for specific applications based on chemical composition and mechanical properties:
- Grade 1: The softest and most ductile, used in chemical processing and medical devices.
- Grade 2: The most common grade, balancing strength and ductility, often used in aircraft construction.
- Grade 3: Stronger than Grade 2, suitable for industrial applications.
- Grade 4: The strongest pure titanium grade, used in aerospace and medical implants.
- Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V): The most popular titanium alloy, known for high strength and weldability, widely used in aerospace.
- Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI): Similar to Grade 5 but with fewer impurities for medical applications.
- Grade 7: Like Grade 2, but with added palladium for better corrosion resistance.

Titanium Pipe manufacturing and treatment processes
Raw Material Preparation: Titanium sponge, produced from ore via the Kroll process, is melted in a vacuum arc remelting furnace to create ingots.
Extrusion or Rolling: Pipes are typically extruded to form hollow shapes, while tubes are hot rolled into sheets and then shaped into cylinders.
Cold Working: Both tubes and pipes undergo cold working to refine dimensions and enhance mechanical properties through additional rolling or drawing.
Heat Treatment: Annealing relieves internal stresses and improves ductility by heating and gradually cooling the material.
Surface Treatment: Finishing processes like pickling or polishing remove oxides and contaminants, enhancing surface quality.
Application
Titanium tubes and pipes are widely used in aerospace for lightweight structural components and fuel systems due to their strength and corrosion resistance. In the medical field, they serve in implants and surgical instruments, benefiting from biocompatibility. Additionally, they are utilized in chemical processing and oil and gas industries for their durability and resistance to harsh environments.
