Titanium Pipes and Tubes
Titanium pipes and tubes are renowned for their exceptional strength, lightweight properties, and superior resistance to corrosion, making them ideal for industries where durability and performance are critical. Used across applications in aerospace, marine, medical, and chemical processing, titanium pipes and tubes offer excellent resistance to aggressive environments, including seawater and industrial chemicals.
Key Benefits of Titanium Pipes and Tubes
- High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: Titanium offers impressive strength while being 40% lighter than steel, perfect for applications that require both durability and reduced weight.
- Excellent Corrosion Resistance: Titanium’s resistance to chlorides, acids, and seawater makes it highly suitable for marine, offshore, and chemical processing applications.
- High-Temperature Stability: Titanium can withstand temperatures up to 600°C (1112°F) without losing its mechanical properties, making it suitable for high-temperature applications.
- Biocompatibility: As a biocompatible material, titanium is widely used in medical and dental applications, including surgical implants.
Titanium Grades for Pipes and Tubes
Our titanium pipes and tubes are available in several grades, each with unique properties for specific applications:
- Grade 1: Pure titanium with excellent corrosion resistance and formability, commonly used in marine and chemical processing applications.
- Grade 2: The most widely used grade, offering a balance of strength, ductility, and weldability, ideal for a range of industrial applications.
- Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V): A titanium alloy known for its high strength and heat resistance, widely used in aerospace, automotive, and high-performance applications.
- Grade 7: Titanium enhanced with palladium for superior corrosion resistance, suitable for aggressive environments.
- Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V): Lightweight and strong, this grade is commonly used in sports equipment and aerospace applications.
- Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI): Biocompatible and highly resistant to fatigue, ideal for medical implants and dental applications.
Types of Titanium Pipes and Tubes
- Seamless Pipes and Tubes: Manufactured without a weld, seamless titanium pipes and tubes offer higher pressure resistance, making them ideal for high-stress applications.
- Welded Pipes and Tubes: These are a cost-effective option for larger diameters and are widely used in low- to medium-pressure systems.
- ERW (Electric Resistance Welded) Pipes and Tubes: Known for precise diameters and smooth surfaces, ERW tubes are often used in structural and architectural applications.
- EFW (Electric Fusion Welded) Pipes and Tubes: Suitable for high-temperature and high-pressure environments, these tubes are commonly used in power generation and energy industries.
Applications of Titanium Pipes and Tubes
- Aerospace: Titanium pipes and tubes are widely used in airframes, hydraulic systems, and exhaust systems due to their lightweight and high-strength properties.
- Marine and Offshore: Titanium’s resistance to seawater corrosion makes it ideal for marine applications, including seawater cooling, desalination, and offshore oil platforms.
- Chemical Processing: Titanium’s ability to resist aggressive chemicals makes it a reliable material for pipes in chemical processing plants.
- Medical and Dental: Biocompatible titanium tubes are used for implants, surgical instruments, and dental applications.
- Automotive and Racing: High-performance vehicles use titanium tubes for exhaust systems and structural components where reduced weight and durability are essential.
