Pure Titanium Plate

What is your processing about manufacturing pure titanium sheet?

1. Hot Forging of Titanium Plates: This forging process is carried out above the metal’s recrystallization temperature. Hot forging allows titanium plates to achieve excellent plasticity and high strength, while also improving their internal microstructure.
2. Hot Rolled: This process involves rolling the titanium at temperatures above its recrystallization temperature. Hot rolling imparts good toughness and plasticity to the titanium plates. It also significantly reduces their thickness to achieve the desired dimensions.
3. Cold Rolled: This rolling process is performed at temperatures below the metal’s recrystallization temperature. Cold rolling significantly enhances the strength and hardness of the titanium plates, while also providing superior surface quality and dimensional accuracy.
4. Annealing: This is a heat treatment process in which the metal is slowly heated to a specific temperature, held for a sufficient period, and then cooled at a suitable rate (usually slow cooling, sometimes controlled cooling). Annealing eliminates residual stresses within the titanium plates, improves their plasticity and toughness, and ensures a more uniform internal structure.
5. Pickling: This process involves immersing the workpiece in an aqueous solution of sulfuric acid or other acids to remove surface oxides and other films from the metal. Pickling cleans the surface of the titanium plates, removes oxide layers and impurities, and enhances their surface quality and subsequent processing performance.
