The function and manufacturing process of seamless titanium wire

Seamless titanium wire is a high-performance metal wire mainly used in various high-end industrial applications, such as medical equipment, aerospace, chemical processing, marine engineering, and other fields. Its main functions are as follows:

High strength and corrosion resistance: Seamless titanium wire has excellent strength and corrosion resistance, and can be used to manufacture components used in extreme environments, such as seawater desalination equipment, oil and gas pipelines, etc.

Excellent welding performance: Titanium material has good welding performance, and seamless titanium wire can be easily welded with other metals or materials, used for manufacturing composite structures or repairing existing equipment.

Biocompatibility: Titanium has good biocompatibility, so seamless titanium wire is very popular in the manufacturing of medical devices and implants, such as artificial joints, heart valves, etc.

Heat exchangers and condensers: Due to the corrosion resistance and good thermal conductivity of titanium, seamless titanium wire is widely used in the manufacturing of heat exchangers and condensers, especially in the chemical and energy industries.

The production process usually includes the following steps:

Raw material preparation: High purity titanium ingots are selected as raw materials, which are cut and forged to prepare for further processing.

Wire drawing: Pre treated titanium ingots are drawn into thin threads through a series of wire drawing molds. This process needs to be carried out at specific temperatures and pressures to ensure the mechanical properties of the silk material.

Annealing: The titanium wire after drawing needs to be annealed to eliminate internal stress, improve its flexibility and machinability.

Acid washing and saponification: After annealing, the titanium wire needs to be acid washed to remove surface oxides, and then subjected to saponification treatment to improve its lubrication performance.

Final stretching: After acid washing and saponification, the titanium wire will undergo a final stretching to achieve the required diameter and mechanical properties.

Quality inspection: Finally, seamless titanium wire needs to undergo strict quality inspection, including size, strength, corrosion resistance, and other aspects, to ensure that it meets the application requirements.

Through the above production process, seamless titanium wire can meet the requirements of high precision and performance, and meet various strict industrial and medical applications.
