Titanium wire

By its qualities, titanium wire is unique product, today without it it is impossible to imagine advanced industry. Its merits are such that it seems redundant. But as Voltaire once remarked: «Surplus is absolutely necessary thing».

Advantages

Titanium wire is easy to process and weld. Its plasticity is at level of copper. Low creep — similar to stainless steel. It is characterized by exceptional corrosion resistance in moist soil, sea and chlorinated water. Corrosion rate is less than 0.002 mm/year. Remarkable stability in atmosphere of chlorine, chlorine oxide, in nitric acid at elevated temperatures, in environment of petroleum products, in mixture of caustic potassium and sodium at concentration of up to 40%, in boiling solutions of 20% NH₃ OH, in environment of molten sulfur up to 240 °C, atmosphere of industrial gases and SO₂, in aqueous solutions of H₂ S and sulfate salts, caustic soda. At 500−550 °С in air, strong protective nitride oxide tape forms on metal surface. Heat resistance, high specific strength, low density and lightness. They make such wire indispensable in aviation and rocket technology, where weight plays decisive role in transport engineering, automobile and shipbuilding, and biological inertness, as well as such rare quality as «shape memory» make titanium alloy wire popular in medicine.

Disadvantages

Perhaps only drawback of such products is high cost of production. But, given exceptional qualities, durability and reliability, all costs of it are guaranteed to pay off.

Production

Both pure VT 1−00sv grade titanium and its alloys are used: VT 2sv, 2 V, PT-7Msv, OT 4sv, OT 4−1sv, OT 4−1sv, SPT-2, VT 6sv, VT 20−1sv, VT 20−2sv. Chemical composition of material is regulated by GOST 19 807−74. Sampling for determination of chemical composition standardizes GOST 24 231−80. Wire is produced by hot or cold drawing according to requirements of GOST 27 265−87 in degassed and pickled condition. Upon completion of technological operation, its surface should be clean and bright without dark spots and places of mild damage. Waviness of product, which is associated with annealing of bays is not sign of marriage. Letters in wire marking reflect name of developer. For example, PT — «Prometheus» — titanium from Central Research Institute of CM «Prometheus», VT — VIAM-titanium,

Using

Lightweight and reliable titanium wire is indispensable in design of modern missiles and submarines. It is in demand in industrial chemistry due to its high corrosion resistance, acid resistance, and medicine due to its biological inertness. From titanium wire, make pins, screws and staples for fastening broken bones. In vascular surgery — stents for expansion of diseased vessels. Latter would not have been possible without unique quality — shape memory possessed by alloy of nickel and titanium. Thread from titanium is inserted into affected artery using special probe, there it is initiated by electric discharge, and wire is rolled into spring, unclenching walls of vessel.
