Working Titanium Sheet Metal

Titanium cannot be soldered with either soft or hard solders.

Working titanium sheet metal. Selected for its unique combination of high strength light weight corrosion resistance bio compatibility and higher temperature performance. In this metal relatively little of the heat generated during the machining operation is ejected with the chip. It s possible to hot forge titanium at temperatures between 650 950 c 1200 1740 f but the metal can also be worked cold. It is not uncommon for shops which handle several metals to isolate an area to be used especially for titanium.

Hardened tool steel must be used for adequate die life. The fabrication of titanium demands attention to cleanliness. Titanium industries selection of titanium sheet is illustrated below. Titanium sheet is selected for its unique combination of high.

Compared to machining other metals a larger percentage of the heat in a titanium machining process instead goes into the tool. One of the crucial challenges of titanium is heat dissipation. Welding can only be done under a protective gas. Dies must be rigid and sharp to prevent cracking of the work metal.

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 grade 5 6al 4v sheet is utilized in numerous applications across the aerospace medical industrial and oil and gas industries.

Titanium sheet is employed in many applications across aerospace medical industrial and oil and gas industries. Blanking of titanium alloy sheet and plate 6 4 mm 0 25 in thick or less is done in a punch press.
