Working Titanium Sheet Metal

Welding can only be done under a protective gas.

Working titanium sheet metal.

Selected for its unique combination of high strength light weight corrosion resistance bio compatibility and higher temperature performance. Titanium grade 5 6al 4v sheet is utilized in numerous applications across the aerospace medical industrial and oil and gas industries. Titanium sheet is selected for its unique combination of high. The fabrication of titanium demands attention to cleanliness.

Titanium industries selection of titanium sheet is illustrated below. The area set aside for titanium should be free of air drafts moisture dust grease and other contaminants which might find their way into or onto the metal. Titanium industries selection of titanium sheet offered at locations worldwide. Titanium sheet is employed in many applications across aerospace medical industrial and oil and gas industries.

Hardened tool steel must be used for adequate die life. Dies must be rigid and sharp to prevent cracking of the work metal. As with other metals maximum blank size depends on stock thickness shear strength and available press capacity. Ganoksin is sponsored by.

You will find that it is more amenable to stretching than compressing. It is not uncommon for shops which handle several metals to isolate an area to be used especially for titanium. Blanking of titanium alloy sheet and plate 6 4 mm 0 25 in thick or less is done in a punch press. One of the crucial challenges of titanium is heat dissipation.

Titanium cannot be soldered with either soft or hard solders. Compared to machining other metals a larger percentage of the heat in a titanium machining process instead goes into the tool.
