Aerospace Titanium Tube

Details of aerospace titanium tube

Aerospace titanium tubes are widely used in aerospace due to their many valuable properties:

A. The specific strength of titanium is high, which is beneficial to the lightweight of the aircraft. The density of titanium is about 40% lighter than that of steel, and its strength is comparable to that of steel. The specific strength of titanium is better than that of general aviation titanium.

B. The heat resistance of titanium is quite good, far superior to that of aluminum and magnesium. The melting point of titanium is 1668 degrees Celsius, which is higher than that of iron, about 1000 degrees Celsius higher than that of aluminum and magnesium, and the recrystallization temperature is as high as 600 degrees Celsius. Therefore, its operating temperature is higher, and it is suitable for parts with higher engine and airframe temperatures. Titanium is also resistant to low temperature and is not easy to produce low temperature brittleness. Titanium is used in a wide range of temperatures.

C. Titanium has very good corrosion resistance, usually does not require special surface protection measures, and is easy to maintain.

D. Titanium has good processability and can meet the processing and forming requirements of complex and large components such as aircraft and engines.

The commonly used titanium grades for aerospace titanium tubes are as follows

 

Grade	Alloy Composition	Type	Key Characteristics	Typical Aerospace Applications
Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V)	Titanium + 3% Al + 2.5% V	Alpha + Beta alloy	Moderate strength, excellent weldability and formability	Hydraulic tubing, fuel lines, structural tubing
Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V)	Titanium + 6% Al + 4% V	Alpha + Beta alloy	High strength, heat resistance, moderate weldability	Aircraft structures, landing gear, engine parts
Grade 2 (Commercially Pure Ti)	Unalloyed Titanium	CP Titanium	Excellent corrosion resistance, good formability, low strength	Ventilation lines, low-pressure tubing
Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI)	Low oxygen Ti-6Al-4V	Alpha + Beta alloy	Improved ductility and fracture toughness	High-performance hydraulic tubing, medical-aero crossover parts
Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo (Ti 6242)	Titanium + 6% Al + 2% Sn + 4% Zr + 2% Mo	Alpha + Beta alloy	High temperature strength	Jet engine tubing and hot-section components
Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-6Mo (Ti 6246)	Titanium + 6% Al + 2% Sn + 4% Zr + 6% Mo	Alpha + Beta alloy	Very high strength and heat resistance	Engine tubing, fire zones
Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al	Titanium + 15% V + 3% Cr + 3% Sn + 3% Al	Beta alloy	Excellent cold-formability and weldability	Hydraulic/fuel tubing, cold-formed structural parts

 

Using the blanking method with different deformation amounts, the aerospace titanium tube blank is rolled into a tube with a total deformation of 70% through two or three passes. 800 ℃ * 1h vacuum annealing between passes. The cooling method is to cool the furnace to 500°C, then air-cool to room temperature, and observe the changes in structure and properties.

The conclusion is that in the case of small deformation billets, the wall thickness deviation is small, and the surface roughness gradually decreases, while for large deformation billets, the wall thickness deviation is large, which will affect the wall thickness deviation of the pipe obtained by the subsequent pass. . Under the condition of the same total deformation, the more rolling passes, the greater the elongation and hardness of the pipe, and the higher the strength. So comprehensive.
