Circle titanium
Production
Titanium circle has circular cross section and solid profile. It is produced both from pure titanium VT1−0, and from titanium alloys VT3−1, VT6, VT14, VT20, VT16, OT4, VT23, PT3 V with chemical composition according to OST 1 90 013−81 or GOST 19 807−74. Sampling for determination of chemical composition standardizes GOST 24 231−80. Titanium wheel production methods depend on scope: pressing, forging, transverse helical rolling (PVP) or high-quality rolling according to following standards. Hot rolled titanium bar with non-turned surface (OST 1 90 173−75, GOST 26 492−85); rods mechanically calibrated and ground (OST 1 90 201−75); VT16 wheel for production of fasteners by turning and hot heading (OST 1 90 202−75); forged rods (OST 1 90 107−73); pressed (OST 1 92 020−82); large titanium rods that are produced by rolling forged billets (OST 1 90 266−86); circle for shipbuilding (OST 1 92 062−90); rolled rods from titanium alloys of general purpose (TU 1−83−21−79). Surface of circle can be polished as well as turned. Circle may be of superior quality or normal. In first case, it is marked with letter «P» for example: OT-4.P.
Circle advantages
Thanks to its remarkable qualities, titanium could well claim title of Hero of our time. Strength — steel, lightness — akin to aluminum. Resistance to corrosion and aggressive media makes it almost eternal. He is not aware of «metal fatigue». It is distinguished by exceptional specific strength and heat resistance, withstand pressure of hot gases in rocket nozzles and pressure of sea water at bottom of ocean. In addition, titanium is biologically inert and is not rejected by body cells during transplantation. Due to its unique structural properties, titanium circle is considered to be uncontested in modern industry.

σv — Short-term strength, [MPa]
δ5, — Elongation at break, [ % ]
ψ — Relative narrowing, [ % ]
Disadvantages
Cost of titanium wheel is quite high due to complexity of production technology. Its strength, heat resistance significantly complicates processing.
Application
Titanium circles have almost unlimited scope — from mountaineering and medicine to the space industry and military-industrial complex. Titanium circles are in demand for production of reliable, lightweight and durable parts in aircraft, automobiles, and shipbuilding. In petrochemical and processing industries, corrosion resistance and acid resistance are important; in food industry, biological inertness. Titanium circle serves as basis for medical instruments, artificial joints; cryogenic and heat transfer equipment, jewelry.
Storage
In covered warehouses or under canopy, where adequate protection against mechanical and other types of damage is provided.
