What are the advantages of hot-rolling titanium alloy plates?
1. Reduced energy consumption and reduced costs
Hot rolling can significantly reduce energy consumption and reduce costs. Generally, as the temperature increases, the deformation resistance of metal decreases. Therefore, the deformation resistance of metal during hot rolling is lower than that during cold working, which can significantly reduce the energy consumption during rolling. Therefore, all metals that can be hot-rolled should be hot-rolled.
2. Improve processing performance
Hot rolling can improve the processing properties of metals and alloys. Because hot rolling can break the coarse grains in the casting state, heal microcracks, and reduce or eliminate casting defects. Therefore, hot rolling can transform the cast structure with low plasticity into a deformed structure (processed structure) with higher plasticity and improve the processing performance of the metal.
3. Large reduction rolling can be used
Hot rolling can use large reduction rolling. Within a certain temperature range, as the temperature increases, the plasticity of the metal increases, so that a larger deformation can be used for rolling. At the same time, the crack defects of the metal can be reduced and the yield rate of the metal can be improved.
4. Suitable for rolling large ingots
Hot rolling can be applied to large ingot rolling. Since the metal has high plasticity and low deformation resistance during hot rolling, larger ingots can be used. It can not only improve productivity, yield, and rolling speed but also create conditions for the continuity and automation of the rolling process. The advantages listed above are all important advantages of hot-rolling titanium alloy plates. With the help of hot rolling technology, we can effectively reduce energy consumption, improve processing performance, and at the same time achieve large reduction rolling and large ingot rolling. These advantages make hot rolling of titanium alloy plates an important metal processing method with wide application prospects and market demand.
