Advantages of VT1-0

It is, first of all, heat resistance and preservation of strength properties in the range of temperatures from cryogenic to +650°C, high corrosion resistance, plasticity, lightness and biological inertness. The coefficient of linear expansion of BT1-0 wire, circles and bars is very small, less than that of magnesium. Not only the products' resistance to atmospheric and soil moisture, to contact with fresh and sea water but also to the action of nitric acid, chlorides and hydrogen sulfide is remarkable. Products made of titanium circle withstand pressure of hot gases in rocket nozzles and pressure of water column at the ocean bottom. They do not know "metal fatigue".

Disadvantages

High labor intensity of production and, as a consequence, high production costs - are considered the main disadvantages. Despite this, the demand for BT1-0 wire, rounds and bars is increasing every year worldwide due to the exceptional qualities of titanium, its durability and reliability.

Manufacturing

The production of titanium wire, rods and circles are regulated by GOST 27 265-87. Their surface should be no dark spots, places of unetching. The color shall be clean and light, without hues of bleach. The waviness associated with the annealing is not considered defective. For BT1-0 the annealing temperature = 880-900°C. For reduction of the residual phenomena after technological operations in some cases incomplete annealing to t° 475-485°С is used. Structure, mechanical properties of alpha-alloys like VT1-0 are insensitive to cooling rate after annealing. The structure of alpha+beta alloys and beta alloys varies within a wide range depending on the rate of cooling.

Applications

VT1-0 wire, rods and circles are in demand in the construction of modern jet equipment and ships, where reliability and low weight play a crucial role. In the chemical industry, their acid resistance is important. In the petrochemical and oil and gas industry, high corrosion resistance is crucial, and in the food, agricultural and medical industries, biological inertness is important. Besides, thin titanium rod is the basis for exclusive jewelry. The consumption of BT1-0 alloy in the military-industrial complex is also increasing.
