1. What is a titanium bar/rod?
A titanium rod is a type of titanium alloy that contains a certain quantity of the element titanium. Modest specific gravity, exceptional thermal strength, good weldability, and great corrosion resistance are all characteristics of titanium alloy. It is typically utilized as a heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant material but has poor room temperature strength. Generally speaking, titanium alloys can be split into three categories: full titanium alloys (TA7), virtually full titanium alloys (Ti-8Al-1Mo-1V), and titanium alloys with only a minor quantity of compounds (Ti-2.5Cu).
Through a number of procedures, titanium sponge is converted into titanium rods. The process of making a titanium sponge begins with the chlorination of rutile ore that is extracted from beach sand. Rutile is combined with coke and chlorine to produce titanium tetrachloride, which is then utilized in a closed system to react with magnesium. Magnesium and magnesium are removed by the vacuum distillation method so that they can be recycled. Aluminum, vanadium, tin, zirconium, and molybdenum are used to ablate the sponge in an electron beam furnace or vacuum arc extinguishing furnace. It will create titanium rods produced by further processing cast or forged slabs into castable electrodes that may be die-cast or VAR melted into slabs.
One variety of titanium alloys is titanium rods. An alloy made of titanium and other elements (such as aluminum, vanadium, iron, manganese, copper, zirconium, etc.) is known as titanium alloy. One of the items created from titanium alloys after additional processing is titanium rods. One may say that a titanium rod is a unique titanium alloy. Titanium rods are stronger mechanically and have more exact dimensions when compared to other types of titanium alloy materials.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Titanium Rods
1. High strength, low density, good mechanical properties, good durability and corrosion resistance.
2. High viscosity, difficult cutting and processing, poor wear resistance, and complex production process.
