Titanium Welded Tube ASME SB338 Material Grade 2. OD 1/2'' x 0.035'' for Condenser Tubes

Titanium has four outstanding characteristics:

Corrosion resistance, especially in oxidising conditions (used in chemical process equipment, heat exchangers)

Titanium and its alloys are resistant to aggressive corrodents such as:

Seawater and other chloride salt solutions

Hypochlorites and wet chlorine

Nitric acid, including fuming acids

Erosion resistance (used in heat exchangers)

Superior resistance to erosion, cavitation or impingement attack make titanium attractive for pumps, piping and high velocity heat exchangers.

Strength to weight ratio

The material is intermediate between steels and aluminium alloys, hence many of the initial applications of

titanium alloys in aerospace (used in airframes, landing gear, engine parts)

Elevated temperature performance

Most titanium alloys are satisfactory for continuous service up to 420o C, and some can be used up to 540o C, well above the limit of 120o C for light metals (used in engine parts, chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers)

The excellent corrosion resistance of titanium is due to a thin, stable, protective, highly adherent surface film which forms instantly when a fresh surface is exposed to air and moisture. The strong affinity of titanium for oxygen causes any damage to the film to heal almost instantly, if a trace of moisture or oxygen is present.

Titanium’s density is about 55% that of steel, and alloys can be aged to strengths close to high strength steel. Titanium alloys are used extensively in highly loaded structures in aerospace applications. The corrosion resistance of titanium is based on the formation of a tight stable oxide layer on the surface that prevents the corrosive media attacking the base metal.
