Titanium

Ambox has the experience and capability to produce components and parts in various titanium grades. While there are over 30 different ASTM Grades of titanium, Ambox prides itself in manufacturing titanium parts in the grade and to the tolerances that the client requires. Over half of the titanium produced is use for aerospace components - and Ambox, with extensive combined experience in producing titanium parts for a wide variety of applications and industries, is well prepared to meet your titanium components stringent specifications.

There are three generally recognized structural types of titanium alloys:

  • Alpha Alloys – these titanium alloys are extremely weldable and are not heat treatable. Alpha alloys exhibit excellent mechanical properties, medium strength, good ductility and notch toughness.
  • Alpha-Beta Alloys – these titanium alloys are heat treatable and most of them are weldable. Alpha-Beta alloys are medium to high strength, and have good hot forming characteristics.
  • Beta Alloys – these titanium alloys are of high strength, are heat treatable, have excellent formability, and are generally weldable. This combination of characteristics allows for the use of Beta alloys in fasteners and springs, as well as to be formed in sheet and heavy sections.

The advantages of manufacturing products in titanium are well documented. Titanium’s excellent characteristics include highly corrosion-resistant, extremely strong, lightweight (half the weight of stainless steel), non-allergenic and non-toxic (allowing for use in pierced jewelry). Titanium and titanium alloys are very resistant to corrosion, including saltwater, marine atmosphere, corrosive gases, acids, organic media and alkalis. Additionally, due to its combination of low density and high strength, titanium is recognized for its excellent strength-to-weight ratio.

Due to its outstanding characteristics, titanium has been used in many industries for a wide range of components and systems. Titanium can be found in fossil and nuclear power stations, in aerospace products, in the petrochemical and chemical sectors, in sporting and recreational goods, industrial service applications, the pulp and paper industry, the automotive sector, medical applications, and building materials, to name a few. However, due to its excellent properties, there are practically no limitations as to the use of titanium – the only limitation is the imagination of the designer.

Titanium is used for heat exchangers, nuclear and conventional power station components, jewelry, golf clubs (heads), bicycle frames, condensers, riser systems, stress joints, aerospace components, medical implants, building materials, and deep well tube strings.
