Due to its excellent corrosion resistance, titanium is widely used as a material for various chemical reaction vessels and heat exchangers and has been widely used in petrochemical, salt production, electric power, seawater desalination, marine engineering, and other fields. However, titanium has a disadvantage, that is, the difficulty in processing leads to high cost, especially when it is used as a structural component.
What is a titanium clad steel plate?
Titanium steel composite plate refers to a metal clad plate made of metal titanium with good corrosion resistance on the surface of an ordinary steel plate. Titanium-steel clad plate not only has the strength of ordinary steel plate as a structure but also has the corrosion resistance of titanium metal.
From the domestic and international production situation of titanium steel clad plates, there are three main manufacturing methods of titanium steel clad plates at present: explosion cladding method, thick plate rolling method, and continuous hot-rolling method. The titanium-steel clad plate produced by the explosion cladding method and the thick plate rolling method is a thick plate, which is mainly used as a corrosion-resistant structural material. The titanium-steel clad plate produced by continuous hot rolling is a thin plate, and its main application field is marine civil engineering.
Application fields of titanium steel clad plate
1. Manufacturing of petrochemical and chemical container equipment
The manufacture of petrochemical and chemical container equipment is the traditional application field of titanium-steel composite plate materials, and its application volume has always ranked first. Titanium has good stability in various acid, alkali, and salt media in the chemical industry, and titanium-steel clad plates can also play an irreplaceable role in petroleum refining plants and chemical plants.
The titanium also has special corrosion resistance to chlorine dioxide, chlorous acid, chlorite, and other bleaching agents. Therefore, titanium-steel composite plates also have important applications in bleaching equipment in the textile printing and dyeing industry and paper industry.
2. Manufacturing of vacuum salt making equipment
Pure titanium and titanium alloys have excellent resistance to chloride solution corrosion and fluid erosion. The evaporation chamber made of titanium clad steel plate has a good effect on reducing corrosion, preventing salt scaling on the wall of the evaporation tank, and improving the salt quality, which greatly reduces the use cost of salt plant equipment.
3. Desalination field
Titanium and its alloys have excellent resistance to seawater and chloride solution corrosion and fluid scouring, and titanium is non-toxic and harmless, which makes titanium-steel composite plates an ideal material for seawater desalination equipment.
4. Manufacturing of nuclear power equipment
Thick cladding (cladding Greater than or equal to 8mm) and large width (single area Greater than or equal to 20m) titanium-steel clad sheet is the main material for condenser tube sheets in nuclear power equipment, and the demand is large, and the application prospect is very broad.
