What Is Titanium Welded Tube?
Titanium welded tubes are a type of high-strength alloy that is
particularly valued in sectors such as aerospace and chemical
processing. Their extensive use is attributed to their exceptional
corrosion resistance and an impressive strength-to-weight ratio,
which makes them indispensable where lightweight yet robust
materials are required.
The manufacturing process for welded titanium tubes involves
joining two or more segments of Grade 12 titanium using specialized
welding techniques. This grade of titanium is carefully chosen due
to its favorable properties for withstanding various types of
welding processes. The most common methods used for creating these
tubes include Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) welding, Gas Tungsten Arc
Welding (GTAW), or Plasma Arc Welding (PAW). These techniques
ensure a high-quality weld that maintains the integrity and
performance of the titanium tubes.
CHANGSHENG Industries is a notable provider known for offering a
broad selection of TIG welded titanium tubes. They boast an
extensive range of standard sizes that cater to different
industrial needs, spanning from 1/8" to a substantial 24" in
diameter. This variety allows customers to find the precise
dimensions needed for their specific projects.
Within CHANGSHENG' s Mill Products inventory, there is a rich
variety of titanium welded pipe available in grades 2 and 7,
accommodating a wide array of applications that require these
specific material properties.
When it comes to the weight calculation for these welded lines,
it's essential to understand that the weight is calculated based on
the thickness, with a density of 0.163 lbs/cubic inch. This detail
is crucial for ensuring accurate estimates in structural design and
load considerations. Additionally, the dimensional tolerances
adhere to the specifications outlined in ASME B36.19M and B36.10M
standards, although it's important to note that the wall thickness
specified by ASME B36.19 may not align with the requirements of
ASME B36.10M.
Overall, CHANGSHENG Industries' commitment to offering a diverse
range of high-grade titanium welded tubes and pipes reflects their
capability to meet the stringent demands of industries seeking
top-performing, reliable materials.

Application Of Grade 12 Titanium Welded Tubes
Grade 12 titanium welded tubes are widely utilized across various
industries due to their superior performance characteristics. Here
are some specific applications where these tubes are commonly used:
1. Heat Exchangers: Titanium welded tubes are favored in heat
exchangers that demand high strength and exceptional corrosion
resistance. They are particularly beneficial in aggressive
environments where other materials might fail rapidly.
2. Chemical Processing: In the chemical processing industry, where
withstanding corrosive chemicals is paramount, titanium welded
tubes prove invaluable. They play a crucial role in the production
of potent acids and alkalis, where their corrosion resistance is
especially important.
3. Marine Applications: Grade 12 titanium tubes are essential for
marine applications that require both corrosion resistance and
robust strength. They are integral in the construction of marine
vessels, offshore oil rigs, and other equipment that operate in the
challenging marine environment.
4. Power Generation: Welded titanium tubes are also key in power
generation scenarios, particularly where high temperatures and
pressures are routine. They contribute significantly to the
production of condensers and heat exchangers in power plants, where
their ability to withstand extreme conditions is critical.
In summary, TIG welding of titanium tubes offers an excellent
solution for applications that demand a combination of high
strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Their
outstanding properties make them an asset in a diverse array of
industrial settings, from aerospace to medical applications,
ensuring they remain in high demand across numerous sectors.
