Titanium sheet is a light, high-strength and corrosion-resistant non-ferrous metal product. Its advantages also include low thermal conductivity, good ductility, and products that can be processed well, including welding. Titanium maintains its useful properties both at low and extremely high ambient temperatures.
The use of this sheet metal is very wide. It is in demand in such sectors of the national economy as chemical, petrochemical, pulp and paper, food, pharmaceutical industry, construction, mechanical engineering of any direction, including ship, aircraft, and rocket engineering. It is also used in the production of heating and cryogenic equipment.
Products are produced using two main methods:
Hot rolling on reverse or belt semi-continuous mills followed by shot blasting to remove the top layer of metal containing significant amounts of hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen;
Cold rolling with several intermediate annealing in vacuum or other furnaces at a temperature of 500-900 degrees Celsius.
