Ordinary people usually talk about titanium and think that titanium is a single product, in fact, this cognition is inaccurate. Titanium is divided into pure titanium and titanium alloys.

TC4 is the main role of titanium alloy, and 60% of titanium is mainly TC4. The main composition of TC4 is Ti-6Al-4V, which belongs to (α+β) type titanium alloy and has good comprehensive mechanical and mechanical properties.

TC4 titanium alloy belongs to the national standard name, and different countries have different names.

TC4 titanium alloy is an α-β titanium alloy successfully developed by the United States in 1954, containing 6% α-stable element lv(aluminum) and 4% β-stable element V (vanadium). The nominal composition of TC4 titanium alloy has an aluminum equivalent of 6.0 and vanadium equivalent of 4.0, and the annealing state contains 10%-15%β phase.

The thermal conductivity of TC4 titanium alloy is 1/5 of iron and 1/10 of aluminum, and the thermal conductivity of TC4 l=7.955W/m·K.

The strength sb of TC4 titanium alloy reaches 1.012GPa, while its density g is 4.51g/cm3, making the ratio sb/g of strength to density reach 23.5. This value is much higher than the ratio of strength to density of alloy steel, showing its excellent strength and lightweight characteristics.

TC4 titanium alloy physical properties:

The production of TC4 (Ti-6Al-4V) alloy semi-finished products in the world accounts for more than half of the total production of various titanium alloy semi-finished products, more than 80% in the aerospace industry, TC4 titanium alloy main semi-finished forms are bars, forgings, sheets, thick plates, profiles and wire.

The main characteristics of TC4 titanium alloy are excellent comprehensive properties and good process properties. TC4 titanium alloy has moderate room temperature strength and high temperature strength, good creep resistance and thermal stability, high fatigue resistance and crack growth resistance in seawater, as well as satisfactory fracture toughness and thermal salt stress corrosion resistance, and its sensitivity to hydrogen is smaller than TC2 and TC1 alloys. It is suitable for manufacturing various parts working in a wide temperature range of -196~450 ° C, especially parts designed with the principle of damage tolerance limitation. TC4 titanium alloy also has excellent process plasticity and superplasticity, which is suitable for forming with various pressure processing methods, and welding and machining in various ways.
