Grade 2 Titanium Seamless Pipe Manufacturing Process

Grade 2 Titanium Welded Pipe Manufacturing Process

Daxun's ASTM B338 Grade 2 titanium welded pipe is crafted from annealed flat-rolled steel plate or steel strip, utilizing an advanced automatic arc welding (TIG) process. The meticulous production processes encompass: titanium plate uncoiling, shearing, butt welding, cleaning, pipe forming, TIG welding, eddy current testing, pre-sizing, annealing, precision reducing and sizing, straightening, eddy current testing, caliper marking, cutting, ultrasonic testing, hydrostatic testing, final inspection, and packaging. Post-formation and welding, these welded pipes undergo at least one stress relief heat treatment. Notably, Daxun refrains from using any filler materials during the welding process.

Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Pipe - Grade 5 Titanium Tube

Titanium Alloy - (UNS R56400)
Introduction
DAXUN's Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 (UNS R56400), stands as the quintessential titanium alloy, revered for its duplex alpha+beta structure. Aluminum serves as the alpha stabilizer while vanadium functions as the beta stabilizer. This high-strength alloy thrives at low temperatures of approximately 800°F (427°C). The ATI Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 alloy is ideally suited for annealing, solution treating, and aging. Its applications span a broad spectrum, including compressor blades, disks, and rings for jet engines; fuselage and space capsule components; pressure vessels; *** cases; helicopter rotor hubs; fasteners; and critical forgings characterized by a high strength-to-weight ratio.
Initially, the alloy is melted using sophisticated methods such as vacuum arc (VAR), electron beam (EB), or plasma arc hearth melting (PAM). Remelting occurs through one or two vacuum arc stages.
Specifications
• ASTM B338 - Standard Heat Treatable Titanium Tube
• AMS 4928 - Forgings and Forging Stock (Annealed)
• AMS 4965 - Forgings (Solution Treated and Aged)
• AMS 4967 - Forgings (Annealed, Heat Treatable)

Physical Properties

Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube Melting Range: 2,800-3,000°F (1,538 - 1,649°C)
Density: 0.160 lb/in³; 4.47 g/cm³
Beta Transus Temperature: 1830°F (± 25°); 999°C (± 14°)

Heat Treatment

For applications demanding high hardness, tensile strength, and fatigue strength, the titanium tube is annealed at 1,700-1,900°F (927 - 1,038°C).
The versatile DAXUN 6-4 Grade 5 Titanium Tube can undergo various heat treatment processes.
1. Annealing: 1,275 -1,400°F; (691 - 760°C), ½ to 2 hours, cooled by air or furnace.
2. Stress Relief Annealing: 1,000 -1,200°F; (538 - 649°C), for 1 to 8 hours, followed by air or furnace cooling.
3. Solution Heat Treating: 1,675 -1,750°F; (913 - 954°C), maintaining for 1 hour, then water quenching.
4. Aging: 975 -1,025°F; (524 - 552°C), sustained for 4 to 8 hours, then air cooling.

Optimum Properties

Achieving optimal properties involves rapid quenching for small cross sections in the solution treated and aged condition. Conversely, larger cross-section sizes and/or delayed quenching might yield less optimal properties.

Hardness

In the annealed state, the typical hardness ranges between Rockwell C 30-34, increasing to Rockwell C 35-39 in the solution treated and aged state.

Forgeability/Formability

DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube is masterfully forged at an intense 1,750°F (954°C) and achieves its final form at 1,450°F (788°C). For unparalleled results, a reduction of at least 35% is strongly recommended.

DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube presents challenges when formed at room temperature, even after annealing. This makes it ideal for severe forming operations such as bending or stretching, which can be executed on the annealed material at temperatures soaring up to 1,200°F (649°C) without altering its mechanical properties. Hot sizing or forming can be effectively performed through creep forming at temperatures ranging from 1,000 to 1,200°F (538 to 649°C).

Machinability

DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube can be precisely machined using methods akin to those for austenitic stainless steels. Optimal results are achieved with slow speeds, high feeds, robust tool rigidity, and the application of copious amounts of non-chlorinated cutting fluids.

Weldability

DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube boasts excellent weldability in either the annealed or solution and partially aged conditions, with aging

completed during post-weld heat treatment. It is imperative to avoid contamination from oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Fusion welding should be performed in an inert gas-filled chamber, or with an inert gas tail shield over the molten metal and adjacent hot zones. Techniques such as spot welding, seam welding, and flash welding can be carried out without the necessity of a protective atmosphere.

Special Considerations

DAXUN Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Tube, Grade 5 Titanium Tube must be safeguarded against contamination from hydrogen due to improper pickling and the absorption of oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon during processes such as forging, heat treating, and brazing. Such contamination can diminish ductility and negatively impact notch sensitivity and formability.
