What is the use of titanium tube? And what areas is it used
Titanium tubes are mainly used for the production of aircraft engine compressor parts, then it is used for rocket, missile and high-speed aircraft structural parts. In the middle of 60's, titanium and its alloys have been applied in the general industry for the manufacturing of electrodes, condenser, oil refining and seawater desalination and environmental pollution control devices. Titanium and its alloys have become a kind of corrosion resistant material. In addition, they are also used in the production of hydrogen storage materials and shape memory alloys, etc..
Titanium pipe is a kind of new important structural materials in aerospace industry, the proportion, intensity and the service temperature of titanium tube is between aluminum and steel, but the specific strength is high and titanium tube has excellent corrosion resistance to seawater and ultra low temperature performance. In 1950, titanium tube has been used for the rear fuselage insulation board, air guide cover, the tail cover and other non load-bearing components in the F-84 fighter bomber for the first time in the United States. The amount of titanium alloy used in military aircraft rapidly increased, reaching 20% to 25% of the weight of the aircraft structure. Since the 70's, the civilian aircraft starts to use titanium alloys, for example, Boeing 747 aircraft uses more than 3640 kg of titanium alloy. The aircraft with Maher number less than 2.5 uses titanium to replace steel to reduce the weight of the structure. For example, the United States SR-71 high altitude reconnaissance aircraft (flight Maher number is 3, flight altitude is 26212 meters), the titanium accounts for 93% of the weight of the aircraft structure, so it is also known as all titanium aircraft.
