MXRR TITANIUM GRADE 5 COMPONENTS

 

MXRR offers different components realized in premium Titanium Grade 5.

 

Titanium is a metallic non magnetic element which is present in nature as Oxide (TiO2).

Pure titanium (sponge) is obtained by:

 

-           TiO2 chlorination with thermochemical reduction of TiCl4 (Kroll and Hunter process).

-           TiO2 chlorination with electrolytic reduction of TiCl4 into mineral salts.

The obtained processed titanium sponge can be remelten in blooms, ingots and billets.

By rolling, drawing and extrusion you obtain the main semimanufactures available on the market: bars, tapes, wires, sheets and pipes.

 

Main chemical-physical characteristics of titanium alloys:

 

-           High corrosion resistance

-           Good mechanical resistance

-           Lighteness (4.4 kg/dm3)

-           Low thermal expansion coefficient

-           Low electric conductivity

-           High elasticity

-           Non magnetic element

 

These extraordinary characteristics have increased the use of titanium for many applications.

Titanium is available on the market as pure titanium or as alloy. Pure titanium has a crystal-line structure of alpha type (compact hexagonal): it is graded from gr. 1 to gr. 4 and presents an increasing mechanical resistance.

 

Titanium alloys have a crystalline structure of aplha+beta type (body-centered cubic), with addition of stabilizing agents, such as Aluminium and Vandium. Those alloys are the most commonly used, since they give best ration between weight and mechanical resistance.

The actually most commonly used alloy is Ti6Al4V (Grade 5 titanium), largeley employed in screws and mechnaical components manudacturing.

 

 

 

 

 

Known as the “workhorse” of the titanium alloys, Ti 6Al-4V (Grade 5 titanium), is the most commonly used of all titanium alloys. It accounts for 50 percent of total titanium usage the world over.

 

Its usability lies in its many benefits. Ti 6Al-4V may be heat treated to increase its strength. It can be used in welded construction at service temperatures of up to 600° F. This alloy offers its high strength at a light weight, useful formability and high corrosion resistance.

 

 

 

 

Ti 6AI-4V usability makes it the best alloy for use in several industries, like the aerospace, medical, high performance components.

 

Main applications:

 

-           Aircraft turbines

-           Engine components

-           Aircraft structural components

-           Aerospace fasteners

-           High-performance automatic parts

-           Marine applications

-          Sport equipments

 

The table below shows as Ti 6Al-4V hase a strength that is very comparable to grade 8 steel  that are used in high strength applications. Furthermore, based on the density figure above grade 5 titanium is 45% lighter than steel components.

 

 

 

 

 

All of MXRR Titanium components are made with PREMIUM GRADE 5 Titanium Alloy with outstanding mechanical performance. The result below shows the result of a CERTIFIED LAB TEST performed on a set of MXRR Titanium bolt.
