Generally speaking, titanium and titanium alloy wires refer to titanium products supplied in the form of coils, and some are also supplied in the form of straight wires. Titanium alloy wire is made of titanium as raw material and processed by voltage, forging, rolling and drawing processes. The commonly used international standard is AMS4928. Titanium Alloy Wires contain all the excellent properties of titanium, such as low density, high strength, good toughness, non-magnetic, good weldability, good low temperature resistance, environmental protection and durability, and have gradually replaced aluminum wires.
1. Classification
According to different properties, titanium and titanium alloys can be prepared into wire materials with different usage requirements, which are generally divided into: pure titanium wire, titanium alloy wire, pure titanium glasses wire, titanium straight wire, titanium welding wire, titanium hanging wire, titanium plate Wire, titanium bright wire, medical titanium wire, titanium-nickel alloy wire, each has different uses. For example, pure titanium glasses wire is mainly used to make glasses frames, titanium hanging wire is used to hang weights, and titanium-nickel alloy wire is commonly used as memory alloy material. The finished product is generally in hard state and annealed state, and the surface can be divided into pickled surface and bright surface.
2.Application fields
Titanium and titanium alloy wires are widely used in many fields such as aerospace, petrochemical industry, medical and health care, automobiles, construction, and sports and leisure products.
(1) At present, more than 80% of titanium and titanium alloy wires are used as welding wires, such as welding of various titanium equipment, welded pipes, repair welding of aviation jet engine turbine disks and blades, welding of casings, etc.
(2) Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, titanium wire has been widely used in chemical, pharmaceutical, papermaking and other industries. It can be made into a mesh and used as a seawater filter, pure water filter, chemical filter, etc.
(3) Titanium and titanium alloy wires are also used to manufacture fasteners, load-bearing components, springs, etc. due to their good overall properties. It can also be used to manufacture various electrodes in the electroplating and water treatment industries.
(4) In the medical and health industry, due to its excellent biocompatibility, titanium and titanium alloy wires are used to manufacture medical devices, implanted in the human body for dental crown fixation, skull fixation, etc.
(5) Certain titanium alloy wires with shape memory functions, such as titanium-nickel alloy wires, are used to make satellite antennas, shoulder pads for clothes, or eyeglass frames.
