2024-04-18

TC4 titanium alloy is a commonly used titanium alloy material, which has excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance, and is widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, medical equipment and other fields. The main characteristics of TC4 titanium alloy are excellent comprehensive performance and good process performance. TC4 titanium alloy has moderate room temperature strength and high temperature strength, good creep resistance and thermal stability, high fatigue resistance and crack propagation resistance in seawater, as well as satisfactory fracture toughness and hot salt stress corrosion resistance. It is suitable for manufacturing various parts working in a wide temperature range of -196~450 ℃, especially those designed using the principle of damage tolerance limitation. TC4 titanium alloy also has excellent process plasticity and superplasticity, suitable for forming using various pressure processing methods, and welding and mechanical processing using various methods.

Due to its advantages of lightweight, high strength, corrosion resistance, and fatigue resistance, TC4 titanium alloy is widely used in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, medical equipment, and other fields. Specifically, it includes:

1. Aerospace field: Due to its lightweight, high strength, and high temperature resistance, TC4 titanium alloy is widely used in aircraft engines, missiles, satellites, and other components in the aerospace field.
