Titanium, due to its excellent corrosion resistance, is widely used as a material for various chemical reaction vessels and heat exchangers, and has been widely used in fields such as petrochemicals, salt production, power, seawater desalination, and marine engineering. However, titanium has a drawback, which is that it is difficult to process and leads to high costs, especially when used as a structural component. Currently, people have come up with an effective solution that is to use titanium steel composite plates.
What is titanium steel composite plate?
Titanium steel composite plate refers to a metal composite plate coated with corrosion-resistant metal titanium on the surface of ordinary steel plates. Titanium steel composite plates not only have the strength of ordinary steel plates as structures, but also possess the corrosion resistance of titanium metal. The most important thing is that the cost has been greatly reduced, so they are widely used in various fields.
Craft
At present, there are three main manufacturing methods for titanium steel composite plates: explosive bonding method, thick plate rolling method, and continuous hot rolling method. The titanium steel composite plate produced by explosive bonding method and thick plate rolling method is a thick plate, mainly used as a corrosion-resistant structural material. The titanium steel composite plate manufactured by continuous hot rolling is a thin plate, mainly used in marine civil engineering.
Application Fields
1.
Petrochemical and chemical container equipment manufacturing
The manufacturing of petrochemical and chemical container equipment is a traditional application field of titanium steel composite plate materials, and its application volume has always been the first. Titanium has excellent stability in various acid, alkali, and salt media in the chemical industry, and titanium steel composite plates have also demonstrated their potential, playing an irreplaceable role in petroleum refining and chemical plants.
Titanium also has special corrosion resistance to chlorine dioxide, chlorous acid, chlorous acid and other bleaching agents. Therefore, titanium steel composite plate has important applications in bleaching equipment of textile printing and dyeing industry and paper industry.
2.
Manufacturing of vacuum salt making equipment
Titanium and its alloys have excellent resistance to seawater, chloride solution corrosion, and fluid erosion. The evaporation chamber made of titanium steel composite plate has good effects on slowing down corrosion, preventing salt scaling on the evaporation tank wall, prolonging production cycle, and improving salt quality, greatly reducing the operating cost of salt plant equipment.
3. Seawater desalination field
Titanium and its alloys have excellent resistance to seawater and chloride solution corrosion and fluid erosion, and titanium is non-toxic and harmless, making titanium steel composite plates an ideal material for seawater desalination equipment.
4. Nuclear power equipment manufacturing
Thick composite layer (composite layer ≥ 8mm) and large plate width (single sheet area ≥ 20m) titanium steel composite plate are the main materials used for condenser tube sheets in nuclear power equipment, and the demand is large, with a very broad application prospect.
