Titanium flange is a component made of non-ferrous metal titanium or titanium alloy, mainly used to connect pipes, usually connected to pipe ends. It connects two flanges with bolts and seals them with gaskets to ensure tight and leak proof connection.

Material characteristics and application fields of titanium flanges

Titanium flanges are widely used in various industrial fields due to their unique physical and chemical properties. Its main characteristics include:

Lightweight: The density of titanium is about 4.5g/cm ³, which is only 60% of that of steel, which is beneficial for reducing the overall weight of pipeline systems.

Corrosion resistance: Titanium exhibits excellent corrosion resistance in various corrosive environments such as seawater, saltwater, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, etc., and is suitable for fields such as chemical and marine engineering.

High temperature performance: Titanium materials have good mechanical properties and creep resistance at high temperatures, and can work for a long time at temperatures around 300 ° C.

Non magnetic: Suitable for applications that require no magnetic interference, such as precision instruments and medical devices.

Biocompatibility: Titanium has good biocompatibility and does not cause rejection reactions in the human body, making it widely used in the field of medical devices.

Titanium flanges are widely used in the following fields:

Petroleum, chemical, power, metallurgy: In these industries, titanium flanges perform well due to their corrosion resistance and high temperature performance.

In the fields of chemical fiber, food, manufacturing, chlor alkali, vacuum salt production, and biotechnology, the lightweight and corrosion resistance of titanium flanges make them an ideal choice.

Ocean engineering: Titanium flanges perform well in corrosive environments such as seawater and saltwater.

Manufacturing process and testing methods

The manufacturing process of titanium flanges includes casting, forging, precision casting, and welding. Casting is suitable for flanges with complex shapes and low dimensional accuracy requirements; Forging is suitable for flanges with simple shapes and high dimensional accuracy requirements; Precision casting is suitable for flanges with high precision and complex shapes; Welding includes fusion welding and brazing, suitable for the manufacture of special shapes or large-sized flanges. Chemical composition analysis, dimensional inspection, non-destructive testing (such as ultrasonic and radiographic testing), mechanical performance testing, and sealing performance testing are required during the manufacturing process to ensure product quality.
