In recent years, the application of titanium screws has become more and more extensive. Among the screws of the same specifications and models, the price of titanium screws has always been higher than that of other materials, but its performance and application range have irreplaceable advantages over carbon steel screws and stainless steel screws.
What are the advantages of titanium screw products?
1. Low density and high strength: The density of metal titanium is 4.51g/cm3, higher than aluminum and lower than steel, copper, and nickel, but its specific strength is the first among the above metal materials.
2. High corrosion resistance: Titanium is very stable in many media, such as titanium is corrosion-resistant in oxidizing, neutral and weakly reducing media.
3. Heat resistance and low-temperature resistance: New titanium alloy screws can be used for a long time at 600℃ or higher. Low-temperature titanium alloys represented by titanium alloys TA7 (Ti-5Al-2.5Sn), TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V), and Ti-2.5Zr-1.5Mo maintain good ductility and toughness at low temperatures of -196-253℃, avoiding metal cold brittleness, and are ideal materials for low-temperature containers, storage tanks, and other equipment. Most of the titanium screws produced by Linhui titanium are directly supplied to submarines, aviation power, high-end kitchen utensils, and driverless cars, making them not only resistant to high temperatures but also able to be used normally at ultra-low temperatures.
4. Titanium is a non-magnetic, non-toxic, metal that will not be magnetized in a large magnetic field. With the enhancement of everyone's health awareness, the application of titanium screws is widely used in medical auxiliary treatment. Titanium screws can have good compatibility with human tissues and blood even in the human body. At present, the main titanium products are heart stents, intramedullary nails, dental implants, therapeutic devices, and some physical therapy equipment that have more contact with the human body. The fastener components in these devices must also be titanium products.
What are the uses of titanium screws?
Titanium screws have the following multiple uses:
1. Aerospace
Aircraft manufacturing: The application of titanium screws is widely used in the structural connection of aircraft. Since aircraft are subjected to huge aerodynamic forces and various stresses during flight, high-strength and lightweight materials are needed to ensure flight safety. Titanium screws are high in strength and light in weight and can meet the strict requirements of aircraft structure for material properties. For example, titanium screws can play a reliable connection role in the fuselage frame, wing connection, engine installation, and other parts of the aircraft.
Spacecraft: Titanium screws also play a vital role in the manufacture of spacecraft. Spacecraft need to withstand extreme temperatures, pressure, and vibration environments during launch and space operation. Titanium screws have good corrosion resistance, high-temperature resistance, and fatigue resistance, which can ensure that spacecraft maintain structural stability and reliability in harsh space environments. For example, in the structural assembly of spacecraft such as satellites and space stations, titanium screws are used to connect various components to ensure the overall performance of spacecraft.
2. Medical field
Medical devices: Titanium screws are widely used in the manufacture of medical devices in the medical field. Since titanium has good biocompatibility and does not cause rejection in the human body, titanium screws can be used to manufacture medical devices implanted in the human body, such as orthopedic implants and dental implants. For example, in fracture repair surgery, titanium screws can be used to fix the fracture site and promote bone healing; in dental implant surgery, titanium screws can be used as a fixing part of the dental implant, combined with the human skeleton to achieve tooth repair.
Medical equipment: Titanium screws can also be used for the assembly and connection of medical equipment. Medical equipment usually needs to operate under strict sanitary conditions and has high requirements for the corrosion resistance and cleanliness of the materials. Titanium screws have good corrosion resistance and easy cleaning characteristics, which can meet the material requirements of medical equipment. For example, in the manufacture of medical equipment such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment and CT scanners, titanium screws can be used to connect various components to ensure the stability and precision of the equipment.
3. Chemical industry
Chemical equipment: In the chemical production process, corrosion-resistant materials are often required to manufacture equipment and pipelines. the application of titanium screws is widely used in the connection and assembly of chemical equipment due to their excellent corrosion resistance. For example, in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, and fine chemical industries, titanium screws can be used to connect reactors, heat exchangers, storage tanks, and other equipment to ensure the safety and stability of the chemical production process.
Marine engineering: In the marine environment, seawater is extremely corrosive, and ordinary metal materials are easily corroded. Titanium screws have good seawater corrosion resistance, so they are widely used in the field of marine engineering. For example, in the construction of offshore oil platforms, submarine pipelines, ships, and other marine facilities, titanium screws can be used to connect various structural components to ensure the long-term stable operation of marine engineering facilities.
4. Sports goods field
Golf clubs: Titanium screws have been widely used in the manufacture of golf clubs. Golf clubs need to have high strength and lightweight characteristics to improve the player's hitting distance and accuracy. Titanium screws are high in strength and light in weight, which can meet the requirements of golf clubs for material properties. For example, in the head connection and shaft connection of golf clubs, titanium screws can play a reliable connection role without increasing the weight of the club.
Bicycles: the application of titanium screws is also widely used in the manufacture of high-end bicycles. Bicycles are subjected to various stresses and vibrations during riding, and high-strength, lightweight materials are needed to ensure safe and comfortable riding. Titanium screws are high in strength and light in weight, which can meet the requirements of bicycles for material properties. For example, in the frame connection, wheel assembly installation, speed change system, and other parts of the bicycle, titanium screws can play a reliable connection role without increasing the weight of the bicycle.
5. Electronic field
Electronic products: In the manufacture of electronic products, titanium screws can be used to connect various electronic components and assemblies. Because titanium screws have good conductivity and corrosion resistance, they can ensure the stable and reliable performance of electronic products. For example, in the manufacture of electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, and laptops, titanium screws can be used to connect components such as housings, circuit boards, and batteries to ensure the overall performance of electronic products.
Semiconductor equipment: In the semiconductor manufacturing process, high-purity, corrosion-resistant materials are required to manufacture equipment and pipelines. Titanium screws are widely used in the connection and assembly of semiconductor equipment due to their high purity and good corrosion resistance. For example, in the manufacture of semiconductor equipment such as wafer manufacturing equipment, photolithography machines, and etching machines, titanium screws can be used to connect various components to ensure the accuracy and stability of the semiconductor manufacturing process.
