Titanium wire is characterized by its light weight, high strength, metallic luster, and good corrosion resistance. Due to its stable chemical properties, it has good resistance to high temperature, low temperature, strong acid, and strong alkali, as well as high strength and low density, and is known as a "space metal", "smart metal", "biometallic metal", and "versatile metal".
Currently, over 80% of titanium and titanium alloy wires are used as titanium welding wires. For example, welding of various titanium equipment, welding pipes, repair welding of aviation jet engine turbine discs and blades, welding of gearbox, etc.
Titanium wire is widely used in industries such as chemical, pharmaceutical, paper, and jewelry due to its excellent corrosion resistance. For example, pure titanium wire is used to weave a filter screen.
Titanium and titanium alloy wires are used for manufacturing fasteners, load-bearing components, springs, etc. due to their excellent comprehensive performance.
Medical titanium wire: Titanium and titanium alloy wires are used to manufacture medical devices, implant dental crown fixation, skull fixation, etc. in the human body.
Titanium nickel alloy wire is used to manufacture satellite antennas and shoulder pads for clothing due to its shape memory function.
Titanium and titanium alloy wires are used to manufacture various electrodes in the electroplating and water treatment industries.
3D printing titanium wire: Commonly used 3D printing titanium wires include gr5 titanium wire and gr23 titanium wire. Due to their high specific strength and corrosion resistance, gr5 titanium wire is often used in high-performance industries, such as aerospace, medical, shipbuilding, and chemical engineering. gr23 titanium wire, due to its biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and toughness, is printed into surgical instruments and spinal orthopedic rods, plates, screws, and other products for medical implants.
Titanium wire is characterized by its light weight, high strength, metallic luster, and excellent corrosion resistance. Here are some key features:
Light Weight and High Strength: Titanium wire offers a superior strength-to-weight ratio.
Metallic Luster: The titanium wire has an attractive metallic sheen, adding aesthetic value to its functional benefits.
Corrosion Resistance: Titanium wire is highly resistant to corrosion, especially in harsh environments.
Stable Chemical Properties: Ti wire exhibits excellent resistance to high and low temperatures, strong acids, and strong alkalis.
High Strength and Low Density: Known for Ti wire's high strength and low density.
Versatility: Also known as “smart metal,” “biometallic metal,” and “versatile metal".
Titanium wire is produced using three different forms of titanium oxides: TiO2, Ti3Al2O5, and Ti4SiC6. These oxides are first melted and heated to extremely high temperatures. The molten material is then extruded through a die or wire milling cutter at approximately 3200°Fahrenheit for about one second. This process results in the formation of pure titanium wire. The wire produced can withstand temperatures up to 900°Celsius without melting or breaking, making it highly durable. The final product typically has a diameter ranging between 0.008 and 0.010 inches, making it suitable for various industrial applications.
