The melting process of TA2 titanium alloy is superb, which often relies on two major equipments: vacuum arc furnace and vacuum induction furnace. The vacuum arc furnace, with its high temperature characteristic of arc, becomes the preferred choice for the production of high purity titanium alloy, with the melting temperature stabilized at around 1600 degree , which ensures that the metal is melted perfectly in a pure vacuum environment. The vacuum induction furnace, on the other hand, with its flexibility of electromagnetic induction heating, shows excellent performance in mass production and fine regulation of alloy composition, and its melting temperature can be as high as 1650 degree .
Temperature-controlled melting: Under vacuum conditions, the temperature is precisely controlled between 1600 degree and 1650 degree to ensure the perfect melting of titanium alloy and avoid overheating or overcooling.
TA2 titanium alloy high-temperature resistance is revealed.
TA2 titanium alloy has excellent performance in the field of high temperature resistance, its tensile strength and elongation remain high from room temperature to 500 degree , as follows:
Room temperature (25 degree ): tensile strength 485 MPa, elongation 20%.
300 degree : tensile strength slightly decreased to 440 MPa, elongation 18%.
400 degree : tensile strength continues to fall to 415 MPa, elongation 16%.
500 degree : tensile strength is still maintained at 370 MPa, elongation 14%, showing excellent high temperature performance.
TA2 titanium alloy is widely used in aerospace, chemical and marine engineering due to its excellent high temperature resistance. In the aerospace field, it is often used as aircraft engine components and high-temperature structural parts; in the chemical field, it is used to manufacture high-temperature corrosion-resistant reactors and pipelines; in the field of ocean engineering, it is a key material for deep-sea probes and submarine oil and gas extraction equipment.
Compared with TA6V, TC4 and other common titanium alloys, TA2 has a significant performance advantage at high temperatures of 500 degree . However, TA2 is prone to oxidization in high temperature environments exceeding 600 degree , and protective measures need to be taken accordingly. In addition, machining in a high temperature environment requires careful operation to avoid material damage.
