Due to their excellent characteristics, titanium ball valves are widely sought after. Especially in the automotive, aviation, shipping, and PTA industries, titanium ball valves are favored for their strength, corrosion resistance, and portability. ZECO Valve specializes in custom-designed hand-operated valves for added safety and reliability.
What is Titanium?
Titanium is used in steel as an alloying element to reduce grain size and as a de-oxidizer, and in stainless steel to reduce carbon content. Titanium is often alloyed with aluminum (to refine grain size), vanadium, copper (to harden), iron, manganese, molybdenum, and other metals. Applications for titanium mill products (sheet, plate, bar, wire, forgings, castings) can be found in industrial, aerospace, recreational, and emerging markets. Powdered titanium is used in pyrotechnics as a source of bright-burning particles.
Corrosion Resistance Characteristics of Titanium Ball Valves
Titanium ball valves are almost no corrosion in the atmosphere, freshwater, seawater, and high-temperature water vapor.
Titanium ball valves and titanium valves are very resistant to corrosion in alkaline media.
The titanium ball valve has strong anti-ion ( Cl ) ability and excellent resistance to ion corrosion.
The corrosion resistance of the titanium ball valves in the reducing acid depends on whether the medium has a corrosion inhibitor
Lightweight, high mechanical strength, wide application, military field.
Titanium Valve Overview & Application
Titanium alloy valves are known for their high strength-to-weight ratio. Titanium alloy is a low-density strong metal with good ductility.
Titanium valves are available in a variety of material grades from the most commonly used Grade 2 to alloyed titanium Gr. 5 ,Gr. 7 and Gr. 12. Titanium alloys are aliased R50400, R50550, and R56400 in UNS. The DIN standards are named 3.703, 3.7035, 3.7164, and 3.7165, while the ASTM designation is A182 316Ti.
