    How to Manufacture Titanium Tube

    Raw Material
    Hollow Billets
    Heat Treatment
    Piercing
    Rolling or Drawing
    Annealing
    Finishing
    Surface Treatment

    Raw Material

    Selecting premium titanium alloys, tailored to meet rigorous standards for mechanical strength, corrosion resistance, and the unique demands of various applications. Titanium alloy billets undergo initial processing steps like preheating and forging to achieve the desired structure and dimensions.

    Hollow Billets

    Through methods such as rolling, drawing, or forging, the processed titanium billets are transformed into hollow billets, ensuring they have a hollow interior.

    Heat Treatment

    These hollow billets undergo heat treatment processes, including annealing or solution treatment, to relieve stress, refine the microstructure, and enhance their mechanical and corrosion-resistant properties.

    Piercing

    A piercing machine is used to create an interior bore within the heat-treated hollow billets, preparing them for further processing.

    Rolling or Drawing

    The pierced billets are then subjected to hot rolling or cold drawing. This step involves multiple passes to reduce wall thickness and increase the length of the billets.

    Annealing

    After rolling or drawing, the tubes undergo another round of heat treatment and annealing to remove residual stress, improve mechanical properties, and refine the grain structure.

    Finishing

    The tubes are straightened and finished to ensure they meet precise dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness standards.

    Surface Treatment

    Depending on the application requirements, the tubes receive surface treatments such as acid cleaning, polishing, or sandblasting to enhance their finish and performance.

    Commitment to Quality Assurance

    Material Verification

    • Chemical Composition Analysis: Verify the chemical composition of the titanium alloy to ensure it meets the required specifications.
    • Mechanical Property Testing: Test the mechanical properties of the raw material, including tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, to ensure they comply with industry standards.

    Dimensional Accuracy

    • Precision Measurement: Use advanced measuring tools such as micrometers, calipers, and laser measurement systems to ensure the dimensions of the tubes meet specified tolerances.
    • Wall Thickness and Diameter Checks: Regularly check wall thickness and outer diameter to maintain uniformity throughout the production process.

    Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)

    • Ultrasonic Testing (UT): Use ultrasonic waves to detect internal defects such as voids, inclusions, and cracks within the titanium tubes.
    • Eddy Current Testing (ECT): Employ eddy current methods to identify surface and near-surface flaws, ensuring the integrity of the tubes.

    Surface Quality Inspection

    • Visual Inspection: Conduct thorough visual inspections to detect surface imperfections such as scratches, dents, and discoloration.
    • Surface Roughness Measurement: Measure surface roughness to ensure the tubes meet required smoothness specifications.

    Heat Treatment Validation

    • Microstructure Analysis: Examine the microstructure of heat-treated tubes to verify proper grain structure and phase distribution.
    • Hardness Testing: Perform hardness tests to ensure that heat treatment processes have achieved the desired mechanical properties.

    Pressure and Leak Testing

    • Hydrostatic Testing: Subject the tubes to high-pressure water to check for leaks and ensure they can withstand the required pressure without failure.
    • Pneumatic Testing: Use compressed air or inert gas to test for leaks in high-pressure applications.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Titanium Tube

    • What surface treatments are available for titanium tubes? 
       

      Surface treatments for titanium tubes include acid cleaning, polishing, and sandblasting. These treatments enhance the tubes' appearance, surface smoothness, and performance, making them suitable for specific applications and improving their corrosion resistance.

    • What are the common sizes and dimensions available for titanium tubes? 
       

      Titanium tubes come in a variety of sizes and dimensions to meet different industry standards and application needs. Common diameters range from a few millimeters to several inches, with wall thicknesses varying accordingly. Custom sizes can also be produced based on specific requirements.

    • How does titanium's weight compare to other metals? 
       

      Titanium is about 45% lighter than steel and slightly heavier than aluminum. Despite its lighter weight, it offers similar strength to steel, providing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that makes it highly efficient for applications where weight reduction is crucial.

    • Are there any special considerations for handling and storing titanium tubes? 
       

      Titanium tubes should be handled with care to avoid contamination and damage. They should be stored in a clean, dry environment, away from corrosive substances and contaminants. Proper packaging is essential to protect the tubes during transportation and storage.

    • How do I determine the appropriate grade of titanium for my application? 
       

      The appropriate grade of titanium depends on the specific requirements of your application, such as mechanical properties, corrosion resistance, and working environment. Commonly used grades include Grade 2 for general corrosion resistance and Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) for higher strength requirements. Consulting with our titanium supplier or material specialist can help determine the best grade for your needs.

    • What is the difference between seamless and welded titanium tubes? 
       

      Seamless titanium tubes are manufactured from a single piece of titanium, providing uniform strength and eliminating the risk of weak seams. Welded titanium tubes are made by welding sheets or strips of titanium, which can introduce potential weak points at the welds. Seamless tubes are generally preferred for critical applications where maximum strength and reliability are required.

    • What are the environmental and health considerations when working with titanium tubes? 
       

      Titanium is non-toxic and biocompatible, posing minimal health risks during handling and use. However, precautions should be taken during machining and welding to avoid inhaling dust or fumes. Titanium is also environmentally friendly due to its high recyclability and long lifespan, reducing the overall environmental footprint.

    • What technical support and service can I expect from your team? 
       

      Our technical support team is dedicated to assisting you throughout the entire process, from selecting the right titanium tubes to providing after-sales service.
