TITANIUM

The method for its production was discovered by KROLL.

TiCl4 (g) + 2Mg Ti + 2MgCl2

TITANIUM

Pure titaniumundergoes anallotropic transformation

from hexagonal close-packed (HCP) alpha titanium

to body-centered cubic (BCC) beta titanium
as its temperature is raised through 882 C (1620 F).
Themelting pointof pure titanium is 1668 C (3034 F).
Density of 4.51 gr/cc.,
Steel 7.86 8 gr/cc

TITANIUM COMMERCIALLY PURE

LOW MECHANICAL PROPERTIES

HIGH DUCTILITY

FOR CORROSIVE SUBSTANCES

ASTM SB 337

TITANIUM + STEEL SHEETS

TITANIUM COMMERCIALLY PURE

EFFECT OF PHASE STABILISERS

ALPHA ALLOYS

Alpha phase is stabilized by

Aluminium

Oxigen

Carbon

General properties:
Good weldability and ductil weld
Retention of strength at HIGH TEMPERATURES

COMMON ALLOY :

Ti - Al

ALPHA BETA ALLOY

Its a mixture of apha and beta stabilisers.

GENERAL PROPERTIES:

More resistance than ONLY ALPHA ALLOYS

ENDURECIBLE BY HEAT TREATMENT

Weld not ductile

BETA ALLOY

Alpha phase is stabilized by

Iron

Chromium

Vanadium

Molybdenum

Copper

Manganese

Nickel

Cobalt
