What are the characteristics of titanium alloys used in metallurgical equipment?

Titanium alloys are a good choice for metallurgical equipment, and they have many benefits. They combine good strength with low density. In comparison, iron has a strength of about 200 MPa and a density of 7.9 grams/cm3. This alloy also has excellent resistance to corrosion and attacks from organic and dilute acids. Furthermore, it has low electrical and thermal conductivity, and is bio-inert. This means that titanium is ideal for heat exchangers and other equipment that works under high temperature and pressure.

Titanium alloys are composed of a variety of elements. These elements are generally classified according to their effects on the titanium phase transition. Some are alpha-stabilizing, while others are beta-stabilizing. Alpha-stabilizing elements influence the beta-transus temperature, while beta-stabilizing elements shift the beta-phase field to lower temperatures. Lastly, there are nonmetallic elements present in the alloy, which are typically found from preceding synthesis or scarp usage.

Titanium alloys are also characterized by their high strength and low thermal expansion rates. Titanium alloys are able to withstand temperatures that are about fifty percent higher than those of stainless steel. However, their reactivity and high temperature requirements require careful management of the process.

Titanium alloys are also available in grade-specific forms. The most common grade of unalloyed titanium is Grade 1. The Grade 1 material is the purest titanium alloy available. The other grades contain different amounts of impurities.
