Manufacturing Process
Our controlled fabricating grouping guarantees reliable quality over each meter of wire produced.
Raw Fabric Selection
We source Review 5 titanium billets from certified plants with total warm number traceability. Chemical composition is confirmed through ICP-OES spectroscopy some time recently preparing begins.
Multi-Stage Drawing
The drawing prepare diminishes breadth through carbide kicks the bucket in incremental steps. Between each pass, wire experiences vacuum tempering to calm work solidifying and keep up ductility.
Intermediate Toughening Cycles
Temperature-controlled heaters beneath argon climate avoid oxidation amid warm treatment. This jam surface quality whereas reestablishing metal formability for consequent drawing stages.
Surface Treatment
Acid pickling expels scale and oxide layers shaped amid toughening. For applications requiring ultra-smooth surfaces, mechanical cleaning accomplishes Ra values underneath 0.4μm for ideal bolstering in mechanized systems.
Precision Sizing
Final drawing passes utilize calibrated passes on to accomplish distance across resiliences inside ±0.02mm. Laser micrometers persistently screen measurements amid generation to keep up h8/h9 ISO resistance grades.
Protective Packaging
Coiled wire is wound onto acid-cleaned spools with moisture-barrier wrapping. Straight lengths are bundled and capped to avoid defilement amid transportation and storage.
Quality Inspection
Every bunch experiences comprehensive testing conventions adjusted with worldwide benchmarks some time recently shipment.
Chemical Composition Verification
ICP-OES investigation affirms aluminum substance between 5.5-6.75% and vanadium inside 3.5-4.5%. Oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen interstitials are entirely controlled to avoid embrittlement, especially for ELI grades.
Mechanical Properties Testing
Tensile testing per ASTM E8 approves extreme pliable quality, abdicate quality, and stretching values. Test recurrence takes after ASTM B863 necessities with reported comes about included in fabric test certificates.
Dimensional Exactness Checks
High-precision laser micrometers degree distance across at numerous focuses along wire length. Factual handle control guarantees 100% of generation meets indicated resistance ranges.
Surface Quality Examination
Visual and amplified review recognizes scratches, pass on marks, or surface abnormalities. Whirlpool current testing distinguishes subsurface absconds that seem compromise execution in basic applications.
Microstructure Analysis
Metallographic examination confirms alpha-beta stage dispersion and grain estimate. We particularly check for alpha case formation—an oxygen-enriched surface layer that must be truant for fatigue-critical applications.
Third-Party Confirmation Available
Upon your ask, we facilitate assessment through SGS, BV, TÜV, or other recognized organizations. Free confirmation gives extra confirmation for mission-critical projects.
Documentation Package
Each arrange incorporates EN 10204 3.1 fabric certificates with full traceability. Chemical investigation reports, mechanical test comes about, and dimensional review records go with each shipment.

FAQ
Q: What is the difference between Grade 5 and Grade 23 product?
A: Grade 23 represents the ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) version with reduced oxygen, nitrogen, and iron content. This modification enhances ductility and fracture toughness, making it mandatory for medical implants per ASTM F136. Grade 5 serves industrial and aerospace applications where these enhanced properties are not required.
Q: Can the product be welded easily?
A: The wire is weldable using TIG or MIG processes, but requires rigorous shielding. Titanium reacts aggressively with oxygen and nitrogen at elevated temperatures. You must use 99.999% pure argon with both leading and trailing shields to prevent brittle alpha case formation in the weld zone.
Q: Why do you offer both pickled and polished surface finishes?
A: Pickled surfaces have oxide layers chemically removed, suitable for general chemical industry applications. Polished surfaces undergo additional mechanical smoothing to eliminate micro-defects and ensure consistent feeding characteristics. This becomes critical for automated 3D printing systems and robotic welding operations where feeding friction must be minimized.
Q: How does temperature affect the product performance?
A: The alloy performs exceptionally well at cryogenic temperatures, particularly Grade 23. For elevated temperature service, it retains significant strength up to 400°C (750°F). Beyond this threshold, oxidation and creep become concerns. For higher temperature applications, we recommend consulting our technical team about alternative titanium aluminide alloys.
Q: What is your typical lead time for custom diameter specifications?
A: Stock diameters ship within 3-7 days. Standard production diameters require 15-25 days from order confirmation. Custom specifications outside our regular range need 25-40 days due to tooling preparation and process validation. Rush orders can be accommodated depending on current production schedules.
Q: Do you provide material certificates with each shipment?
A: Yes, every order includes EN 10204 3.1 material test certificates with full heat number traceability. Documentation contains chemical composition analysis, mechanical test results, and dimensional inspection reports. Additional third-party inspection can be arranged through SGS, BV, or other agencies upon request.
