Titanium and titanium alloy ball valve is a broad concept, refers to the ball valve that the body and internal parts are made of titanium alloy or ball valve that the body material is carbon steel or stainless steel, and internal parts are made of titanium alloy valve. As well as we knew, Titanium is a reactive structural metal that reacts easily with oxygen to form a dense, stable oxide film on the surface, which can react with oxygen to regenerate the oxide film even if it is damaged. Titanium and titanium alloy ball valve can resist the erosion of a variety of corrosive mediums and provides a better corrosion and strength solution than that made of stainless steel, copper or aluminum valves.

Titanium and titanium alloy ball valve feature

• Good corrosion resistance, lightweight and high mechanical strength.
• It is almost noncorrosive in the atmosphere, freshwater, seawater, and high-temperature water vapor.
• It has good corrosion resistance in royal water, chlorine water, hypochlorous acid, wet chlorine gas and other media.
• It is also very resistant to corrosion in alkaline media.
• It is highly resistant to chlorine ions (CI) and has excellent corrosion resistance to chloride ions.
• Corrosion resistance in organic acids depends on the degree of reduction or oxidation of the acid.
• Corrosion resistance in reducing acids depends on the presence of a corrosion inhibitor in the medium.

 

Titanium and titanium alloy ball valve application
 

• Aerospace

Titanium and titanium alloy ball valve can be widely used in the aerospace field because of high strength ratio, corrosion resistance. The pure titanium and titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V ball valve is widely used in aircraft pipelines.
 

• Chemical industry

Sometimes in Chlor-alkali, salt, synthetic ammonia, ethylene, nitric acid, acetic acid and another strong corrosion environment,titanium and titanium alloy ball valve that has better corrosion resistance can replace common metals such as stainless steel, copper, aluminum, especially in the control and regulation of the pipeline.
 

• Warships

Titanium and titanium alloy ball valve is uesed for warships in its seawater system.
 

• Power plant

Most nuclear power plants are built on the coast and itanium and titanium alloy ball valve is used in nuclear power projects due to their excellent corrosion resistance to seawater. 
 

In addition, as a special medium and environment fluid control equipment,itanium and titanium alloy ball valve is also used in the paper industry, food and pharmaceutical manufacturing and other fields.
