Shaanxi Tilong Metal Material Co., Ltd. is a leading manufacturer of aerospace-grade titanium materials, and our Aerospace Titanium Plates are produced to meet the highest international standards. Whether you are designing aircraft components, engine parts, or spacecraft components, our titanium plates are engineered to deliver performance and durability in the most extreme conditions.

Technical Specifications

Performance Characteristics：

1. High Strength and Light Weight: The density is about 4.5 g/cm³, which is 57% of that of steel, and the specific strength is 220 MPa·cm³/g, 1.3 times that of aluminum alloy.

2. Excellent Corrosion Resistance: In the salt spray test for 5000 hours, the corrosion rate is less than 0.001 mm/year, and it has strong corrosion resistance in seawater and most chemical media.

3. Good High-Temperature Performance: TA15 has a tensile strength of not less than 600 MPa at 550°C, and TC4 has a strength retention rate of not less than 85% at 400°C.

4. Good Fatigue Resistance: The high-cycle fatigue limit of TC4 sheet (10⁷ cycles, R=0.1) is not less than 500 MPa.

​​​​​​​Core Advantages:

1. Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: In oxidizing, neutral media, seawater, and humid atmospheres, its surface forms a dense, robust oxide film, delivering corrosion resistance far surpassing stainless steel and rivaling platinum. It exhibits outstanding resistance to chloride ion corrosion, completely eliminating pitting and stress corrosion cracking.

2. Superior Mechanical Properties: Offers higher strength than Grade 1 while maintaining excellent ductility and toughness (good fatigue resistance), making it ideal for structural components requiring both strength and form-ability.

3. Outstanding Process-ability: Exhibits excellent cold and hot work-ability, facilitating forming operations such as stamping, bending, and flanging. Possesses exceptional weld-ability, compatible with various conventional welding techniques.

4. Lightweight and high strength: With a density of only 4.51 g/cm³ (approximately 57% that of steel), its specific strength (strength-to-density ratio) ranks among the highest in metallic materials.

5. Excellent bio-compatibility: Non-toxic with good compatibility with human tissues and blood, suitable for food processing and biomedical applications.

Processing Technology：

1. Melting: Vacuum consumable arc furnace (VAR) is used for triple melting, and the oxygen content is controlled to be not more than 0.15%.

2. Hot Rolling: Rolled in the β-phase region (TC4 is 950-1000°C), the deformation amount is not less than 70%, and the grain size is not coarser than ASTM 6.

3. Cold Rolling: The room-temperature rolling deformation amount is not more than 25%, and intermediate annealing (700°C×1h) is carried out to restore plasticity.

4. Surface Treatment: Laser shock peening (LSP) can be used to increase the fatigue life by 30% (residual compressive stress is not less than 400 MPa).

Core Application Fields：

1. Aircraft Skins: It can resist the erosion of high-speed airflows (Mach number ≥0.8), and can reduce weight by 30% compared with aluminum alloys.

2. Engine Combustion Chamber Linings: It can withstand high temperatures of 800°C for a short time and has good compatibility with antioxidant coatings.

3. Wing Beam Webs: The bending strength is not less than 900 MPa, and the fatigue life is not less than 10⁷ cycles.

4. Aerospace Fasteners: The shear strength is not less than 600 MPa.
