MXRR TITANIUM GRADE 5
COMPONENTS
MXRR offers
different components realized in premium Titanium Grade 5.
Titanium is a metallic non magnetic element which is present in nature as Oxide
(TiO2).
Pure titanium (sponge) is obtained by:
-
TiO2
chlorination with thermochemical reduction of TiCl4 (Kroll and Hunter process).
-
TiO2
chlorination with electrolytic reduction of TiCl4 into mineral salts.
The obtained processed titanium sponge can be remelten in blooms, ingots
and billets.
By rolling, drawing and extrusion you obtain the main semimanufactures
available on the market: bars, tapes, wires, sheets and pipes.
Main chemical-physical characteristics of titanium alloys:
-
High corrosion resistance
-
Good mechanical resistance
-
Lighteness (4.4 kg/dm3)
-
Low thermal expansion coefficient
-
Low electric conductivity
-
High elasticity
-
Non magnetic element
These extraordinary characteristics have increased the use of titanium for
many applications.
Titanium is available on the market as pure titanium or as alloy. Pure
titanium has a crystal-line structure of alpha type (compact hexagonal): it is
graded from gr. 1 to gr. 4 and presents an increasing mechanical resistance.
Titanium alloys have a crystalline structure of aplha+beta type
(body-centered cubic), with addition of stabilizing agents, such as Aluminium
and Vandium. Those alloys are the most commonly used, since they give best
ration between weight and mechanical resistance.
The actually most commonly used alloy is Ti6Al4V (Grade 5 titanium), largeley employed in screws and mechnaical components manudacturing.
Known as
the “workhorse” of the titanium alloys, Ti 6Al-4V (Grade 5 titanium), is the
most commonly used of all titanium alloys. It accounts for 50 percent of total
titanium usage the world over.
Its
usability lies in its many benefits. Ti 6Al-4V may be heat treated to increase
its strength. It can be used in welded construction at service temperatures of
up to 600° F. This alloy offers its high strength at a light weight, useful
formability and high corrosion resistance.
Ti 6AI-4V
usability makes it the best alloy for use in several industries, like the
aerospace, medical, high performance components.
Main
applications:
-
Aircraft
turbines
-
Engine
components
-
Aircraft
structural components
-
Aerospace
fasteners
-
High-performance
automatic parts
-
Marine
applications
-
Sport
equipments
The table
below shows as Ti 6Al-4V hase a strength that is very comparable to grade 8
steel that are used in high strength
applications. Furthermore, based on the density figure above grade 5 titanium
is 45% lighter than steel components.
All of MXRR
Titanium components are made with PREMIUM GRADE 5 Titanium Alloy with
outstanding mechanical performance. The result below shows the result of a
CERTIFIED LAB TEST performed on a set of MXRR Titanium bolt.
