How is a titanium plate made? Key roll process

Mar 10, 2023

Titanium plates are widely used in various industries, such as aerospace, petrochemical, marine, chemical, and medical industries. The production of titanium sheets is commonly made through a process known as rolling.

This process starts with the heating of billets of titanium to the required temperature. The heated billets are then placed between two large rolls, where they are rolled so as to create a uniform thickness across the entire length of the billet. This repetitive rolling process gradually reduces the thickness of the billet, while removing the inner stresses and promoting grain directional orientation, improving strength, ductility, and shape.

Once the desired thickness has been achieved, the titanium plates can then be further processed and surface finished. This may include shearing, flattening, sawing, milling, drilling, edging, etc. to achieve the desired dimensional tolerance and surface finish.

Finally, the titanium plates are subjected to various metallurgical tests to ensure that they meet the desired quality standards before being sent for further processing.

Overall, the rolling process is the main and most important process involved in the production of titanium plates. It is a highly technical process that requires few levels of precision and accuracy as it is used to produce parts and components for highly demanding industries.
