Working Titanium Sheet Metal

You will find that it is more amenable to stretching than compressing.

Working titanium sheet 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. Our titanium sheet meets many ams astm asme and en specifications. It is not uncommon for shops which handle several metals to isolate an area to be used especially for titanium. Compared to machining other metals a larger percentage of the heat in a titanium machining process instead goes into the tool.

Titanium sheet is selected for its unique combination of high. Titanium industries selection of titanium sheet offered at locations worldwide. The fabrication of titanium demands attention to cleanliness. Welding can only be done under a protective gas.

It s possible to hot forge titanium at temperatures between 650 950 c 1200 1740 f but the metal can also be worked cold. Blanking of titanium alloy sheet and plate 6 4 mm 0 25 in thick or less is done in a punch press. Titanium industries selection of titanium sheet is illustrated below. Titanium sheet is employed in many applications across aerospace medical industrial and oil and gas industries.

Titanium cannot be soldered with either soft or hard solders. Selected for its unique combination of high strength light weight corrosion resistance bio compatibility and higher temperature performance. As with other metals maximum blank size depends on stock thickness shear strength and available press capacity. Dies must be rigid and sharp to prevent cracking of the work metal.
