In the last blog, we discussed the processing procedures of titanium rods. Now let's talk about the process of titanium wire.

Description | Others |
|
Pretreatment |
Before the processing, the titanium wire need to be cleaned and removed the oxide layer in order to ensure the subsequent process goes successfully. Cleaning can be done by the ways of mechanical cleaning or chemical cleaning, and removal of the oxide layer can be achieved by acid washing, sandblasting, etc. |
|
|
Processing |
We usually use the equipment such as numerical control machine tools, cutting machine and drawing machines. The detailed procedures: drawing, head slitting, cutting, moulding and drilling. |
During the processing, please pay attention to the stable processing speed and pressure to avoid influencing the quality. |
|
Heat treatment |
When finishing the process above, the heat treatment is still required to remove the residual stress of the wires. Generally, the methods of heat treatment include annealing, solution treatment and aging treatment. |
|
|
Postprocessing |
After the heat treatment, cleaning, testing, and packaging are required. Cleaning can be done by water or solvent cleaning. The testing methods contain the chemical component analysis and mechanical property test. Packaging and storing are the last steps. |
Attention points
Avoid oxidation
Titanium material easily reacts with oxygen to produce an oxide layer, so avoiding oxidation during processing should be paid attention to. We can adopt inert gas shielding or removal of the oxide layer.
Processing parameter control
To control processing parameters well is required during titanium wire process, especially the processing speed, pressure and so on. Too high or too low a parameter may affect the quality.
Prevent titanium dust from falling into the eyes, mouth and nose
Titanium dust may be produced during the processing of titanium wires. No protection will damage human health. Therefore, the personal protective equipment such as the safety goggles, masks and gloves are demanded during the processing.
Customized process procedures
We can customize the processing procedures according to different material and special requirements of titanium wires and will process strictly according to the procedure requirements to ensure the product quality.
Ensure the stability and accuracy of the equipment
Titanium wire processing equipment should ensure working stability and the processing accuracy so as to guarantee the processing quality and efficiency. Meanwhile, when using the equipment, it is necessary to consider about its range of application, performance index, after-sales service and so on.
