Titanium in titanium pipe fittings exhibits stable chemical properties and excellent biocompatibility, characterized by high corrosion resistance and stability. It is a metal that does not affect the human body and does not cause excessive reactions.
The characteristics of titanium pipe fittings are mainly reflected in the following aspects:
1. Corrosion resistance
Titanium fittings exhibit superior corrosion resistance, even when operating in humid air or seawater environments. Their corrosion resistance significantly outperforms that of stainless steel. Therefore, when using titanium fittings, there is no need to worry about their service life. Titanium fittings have corrosion resistance 15 times stronger than stainless steel and a service life approximately 10 times longer.
2. Low-Temperature Resistance
Titanium fittings maintain their mechanical properties even at low temperatures, demonstrating exceptional low-temperature resistance.
3. High Strength
Titanium alloys have a density of approximately 4.51 g/cm³, which is about 60% of steel. Additionally, titanium fittings exhibit high strength, far exceeding that of other metallic structural materials.
4. High thermal strength
Titanium fittings exhibit high thermal strength and retain their properties even at temperatures of 450–500°C. In general, titanium alloys can operate at temperatures up to 500°C, while aluminum alloys typically have a maximum operating temperature of 200°C.
5. Smooth and scale-free
Titanium fittings have low density, are lightweight, and have a smooth surface free of scale. Using titanium fittings in daily life significantly reduces the scale formation coefficient.
Due to these five characteristics, titanium fittings are widely applied in industries such as chemical equipment, offshore power generation equipment, seawater desalination equipment, ship components, and electroplating industries.
