Titanium and titanium alloy tube
Unlike steels or aluminium alloys, titanium alloys are generally free of defects such as inclusions or porosity because of the double and triple vacuum arc melting procedures employed in producing them. The resulting material structure provides good fatigue properties and almost no crack initiation due to inclusions or porosity. However,fatigue behavior in titanium alloys is very sensitive to surface preparation, which can be more important than microstructural effects. In contrast to working with ferrous metals, inducing compressive stresses in the surface actually reduces fatigue life rather than increasing it. Similarly, the titanium surface finish is more sensitive to surface machining effects than that of ferrous metals, requiring care in producing the final finish. In unalloyed titanium, fatigue life is also influenced by grain size, interstitial contents, and degree of cold work. Decreasing grain size will increase fatigue life. In alpha alloys fatigue life depends on grain size, degree of age-hardening, and oxygen content of the alloy. Age-hardening in alpha alloys makes the crack grow faster, and, hence, reduces fatigue life. The grain size effect is the same as unalloyed titanium, the finer grain size will give longer fatigue life. For near-beta and beta alloys the microstructure plays a significant role in the fatigue limit as does the shape and size of the grains. Endurance limits for most titanium alloys are observed to be 107 cycles or more.
The presence of a thin, tough oxide surface film provides excellent resistance to atmospheric and sea environments as well as a wide range of chemicals, including chlorine and organics containing chlorides. What makes this possible is a mechanism similar to what occurs with stainless steel, the formation of a stable, self healing surface oxide. Commercially pure titanium is the most commonly used titanium alloy for corrosion applications, especially when high strength is not a requirement, because it is relatively inexpensive. Titanium is near the cathodic end of the galvanic series, allowing it to perform the function of a noble metal, but it may react pyrophorically in certain media. Its corrosion-resistance is commonly improved by the application of an anodizing finish, surface coatings or alloying.
Explosive reactions can occur with fuming nitric acid containing less than 2% water or more than 6% nitrogen dioxide and on impact with liquid oxygen. Increasing the water content above 2% removes the concern. Pyrophoric reactions also can occur in anhydrous liquid or gaseous chlorine, liquid bromine, hot gaseous fluorine, and oxygen-enriched atmospheres.
Machined tube and Machinability
The machining characteristics of titanium vary greatly and depend upon the alloy composition, heat treatment employed, and resulting hardness. Instrumentation tube and machined tubes used for actuation systems are heavy walled tube and are made in both titanium and stainless steel. Generally, titanium is more difficult to machine than carbon steels due to its reactive nature. This property can result in poor cutting characteristics if inappropriate speeds and feeds are used during processing, reducing the cutting effectiveness by welding itself to the tool and alternately creating a hardened layer due to heat generated during the chip formation. Low cutting speeds combined with high feed rates limit temperature extremes, while effectively getting below the hardened surface layer. Pure titanium and alpha alloys require lower contact pressures than beta alloys but are still more difficult to machine than plain carbon steels. Rigid setups are required to limit deflection because of the low modulus of titanium.
Titanium reacts rapidly at high temperatures with oxygen, nitrogen, and constituents in cutting tools. The high strength of the alloy requires high contact pressures, which produces high tool-tip temperatures. This combination of chemical activity and heat contributes to seizing, galling, and abrasion and to pyrophoric behaviour of small particles of titanium. In addition, titanium has relatively poor thermal conductivity, exacerbating the temperature effects at the tool-tip. The net effect is that machining of titanium requires careful selection of tools, speed, coolant, and atmosphere to get the desired results.
Titanium tends to oxidize rapidly when heated in air above 1200°F (650°C). At elevated temperatures, it has the property of dissolving discrete amounts of its own oxide into solution. For these reasons, the welding of titanium requires the use of a protective shielding, such as an inert gas atmosphere, to prevent contamination and embrittlement from oxygen and nitrogen. Titanium's relatively low coefficient of thermal expansion and conductivity minimize the possibility of distortion due to welding.
Fabrication Processes
Fabricating titanium is relatively difficult because of its susceptibility to hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen impurities, which cause embrittlement. Elevated temperature processing, including welding, must be performed under special conditions that avoid diffusion of gases into the metal.
Forming is more difficult with titanium than with aluminum or iron-based materials. Heat is usually required in most forming operations to reduce the "springback" of the material, improving the accuracy of forming. Casting can be performed, but requires molds made from something other than sand, which is used with ferrous metals, because of the reactive nature of titanium. Special moulds using sand combined with organic or graphite binders are typically used. Apart from this consideration, conventional casting methods and mould design principles can be applied.
Superplastic forming can also be applied to those titaniums that exhibit a high strain rate sensitivity. Ti-6-4 with a beta volume of 20% exhibits this characteristic at 870°C.

8 Plane Crashes That Changed Aviation
- Creation of the FAA and $250 million upgrade of the air traffic control: In 1956 two planes collided while flying under “see-and-avoid” visual flight rules. In an attempt to give their passengers views of the Grand Canyong, one of the plane’s left wing and propellers ripped into the other plane’s tail. Both planes crashed into the Grand Canyon, killing all 128 aboard both planes. Following the accident, $250 million was poured into upgrading the air traffic control system and also spurred the creation of the Federal Aviation Agency (now Administration).
- Cockpit teamwork and communication: In 1973 a plane carrying 181 passengers circled near the airport as the crew tried to sort out a landing gear problem. As the plane circled for nearly an hour, the fuel supply was quickly diminishing. Cockpit team members tried to warn the captain of the problem, but the captain ignored their warnings and waited too long to begin his final approach. The plane ran out of fuel and killed 10 passengers after crashing into a suburb. Following the accident United Airlines unveiled their Cockpit Resource Management (CRM) concept, emphasizing teamwork amongst the cockpit team. CRM has now become industry standard.
- Mandatory lavatory smoke detectors: In 1983 a fire in the rear lavatory caused the plane to make an emergency descent. The pilot landed the plane in Cincinnati, but before all passengers could escape the plane, a flash fire erupted killing 23 of the 46 aboard the plane. Following the accident, the FAA mandated that all aircraft lavatories be equipped with smoke detectors and automatic fire extinguishers. Planes built after 1988 were specifically built with better flame-resistant interior materials as well as floor lighting to lead passengers to exits through thick smoke.
- Upgraded downdraft detection: In 1985 a plane encountered a strong downdraft and abrupt shift in the wind during a thunderstorm that caused the plane to lose airspeed quickly. The plane crashed a mile short of the runway, crushing a vehicle and killing the driver as well as 134 out of the 163 passengers aboard the plane. Following the accident, NASA/FAA began an intense seven-year research to devise the “on-board forward-looking radar wind-shear detectors” that are now standard equipment on all airliners.
- Mandatory collision-avoidance systems for small aircraft: In 1986 a small private plane collided with a major aircraft carrier, knocking off the plane’s left horizontal stabilizer. Both planes crashed into a residential neighborhood killing 82 people, including 15 people on the ground. Following the accident the FAA mandated that all small aircraft entering control areas must use transponders to broadcast their position to controllers. Airlines were also required to TCAS II collision-avoidance systems installed which had the capability to detect potential collisions with other transponder-equipped aircraft.
- Creation of the National Aging Aircraft Research Program: In 1988, a 19 year-old plane had a large portion of its fuselage blow off, leaving a dozen passengers riding in the open-air breeze. A flight attendant was swept out of the plane and killed, but the rest of the passengers were safe. Following the accident, the FAA began the National Aging Aircraft Research program that required strict inspection and maintenance requirements for high-use and high-cycle aircraft.
- Mandatory electrical spark elimination measures: In 1996 a plane that had just taken off from JFK headed to Paris killed all 230 people aboard when it blew up in midair for no apparent reason. Following the accident, it was discovered that a short circuit in a wire bundle led to a spark in the fuel gauge sensor which thus blew the plane up not long after takeoff. The FAA mandated that an electrical circuit test be conducted on each plane in order to reduce sparks from faulty wiring and other sources.
- Smoke detectors and automatic fire extinguishers in the cargo hold: In 1996, a plane’s cargo hold was carrying chemical oxygen generators (illegally packaged by the airline’s maintenance contractor). The oxygen generators were accidentally set off by a bump and the resulting heat started a fire in the cargo hold. The plane wasn’t able to land in time and 110 aboard died. Following the accident, the FAA mandated smoke detectors and automatic fire extinguishers to be installed in the cargo holds of all commercial airliners. This accident also spurred the stricter rules against carrying hazardous cargo aboard aircraft.
