Manufacturing Process

Our titanium pipe production follows strict protocols ensuring consistent quality across every batch. Understanding this process helps you appreciate the value delivered in each product.

Selection of Raw Materials

We purchase titanium sponge from approved vendors who adhere to ASTM B265 requirements. Before entering manufacturing, incoming materials are subjected to spectroscopic examination to confirm their chemical makeup. Downstream contamination problems are avoided by this first quality gate.

Formation of Seamless Pipes (ASTM B861)

Titanium billets are converted into seamless tubes without weld seams by hot extrusion. Potential weak spots where corrosion could start are eliminated by this continuous framework. For demanding applications, the seamless design offers exceptional pressure resistance.

Wall thickness is refined and diameter is decreased by several cold pilgering passes. Stress-relief annealing at regulated temperatures preserves material ductility in between passes. Grain structure is optimized for improved mechanical qualities by this thermal-mechanical technique.

Production of Welded Pipe (ASTM B862)

Filler metal is not used in our TIG-welded pipes for economical solutions. The base metal composition is preserved throughout the weld zone using the autogenous welding technique. This method maintains corrosion resistance all the way around the pipe.

Real-time monitoring of bead quality and penetration depth is provided by automated weld inspection equipment. Consistent weld integrity is ensured by prompt correction in response to any variation. The microstructure is homogenized and residual stresses are released by post-weld heat treatment.

Surface Treatment Options

Pickling removes surface oxides using acid solutions, revealing the natural titanium finish. Polishing creates smooth surfaces ideal for sanitary applications in pharmaceutical and food industries. Sandblasting provides controlled surface roughness for improved coating adhesion when required.

Final Dimensional Control

Precision cutting equipment achieves specified lengths with ±1mm tolerance. End facing operations ensure perpendicular cuts for proper fitting alignment. Chamfering or beveling options prepare edges for welding operations at your facility.

Quality Inspection

Your confidence in our products stems from rigorous testing protocols applied to every 3 inch titanium pipe before shipment. Our quality assurance program exceeds standard industry requirements.

100% Non-Destructive Testing

Ultrasonic inspection detects internal discontinuities throughout the pipe wall. Our automated scanning systems provide complete volumetric examination with sensitivity to detect flaws as small as 0.5mm. Eddy current testing identifies surface and near-surface defects that could compromise performance.

Hydrostatic pressure testing verifies structural integrity under simulated operating conditions. Each pipe withstands test pressures 1.5 times the rated working pressure without leakage or permanent deformation. This proves your pipes will perform reliably in actual service environments.

Dimensional Verification

CMM (Coordinate Measuring Machine) technology validates outer diameter, wall thickness, and straightness. Our measurement protocols conform to ASTM specifications with documented results for every production lot. You receive pipes meeting tight tolerances critical for your assembly requirements.

Chemical Composition Analysis

Spectrometric testing confirms grade compliance for titanium, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and iron content. Interstitial element control ensures mechanical properties meet specification minimums. For ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) grades, we guarantee ultra-high purity suitable for medical applications.

Mechanical Property Testing

Tensile specimens undergo testing to verify yield strength, ultimate tensile strength, and elongation percentages. Hardness measurements ensure proper heat treatment results. These mechanical tests validate that your pipes will withstand design loads with appropriate safety margins.

Documentation Package

Every shipment includes comprehensive Material Test Certificates (MTC) documenting all test results. Full traceability links each pipe to its source heat number. Third-party inspection services from SGS, BV, TÜV, DNV, or ABS are available upon request.

FAQ

Q1: What distinguishes welded titanium pipe from seamless titanium pipe?

With no weld seams, seamless pipes (ASTM B861) provide consistent strength all around. This structure provides greater pressure resistance and removes potential corrosion beginning spots at welds.

Autogenous TIG welding without filler metal is used in welded pipes (ASTM B862). At a reduced cost, the weld zone preserves the corrosion resistance of the base metal. To guarantee performance reliability, both kinds go through the same quality testing.

Q2: For applications involving seawater, which titanium grade should I select?

For the majority of marine situations, commercially pure titanium of grade 2 offers exceptional resistance to seawater and chlorides. Grade 7 palladium-stabilized titanium provides improved protection in highly harsh environments with high temperatures or low pH.

Your particular operating parameters, such as temperature, pressure, and fluid chemistry, can be examined by our engineering team. For individualized material recommendations, send your application data to linhui@lhtitanium.com
