Titanium Alloy TC4

Material type: Metallic Materials, Titanium and Titanium Alloys, Titanium TC4

Titanium Alloy TC4 titanium alloy sheet offers high strength and fatigue resistance, making it suitable for load-bearing sheet metal structural components; however, it has poor ductility, making it difficult to bend and form, and requires argon gas shielding during welding.

Process compatibility

Sheet metal

Material Color

Silver

Material advantages

High strength and fatigue resistance, excellent specific strength, resistance to chloride ion corrosion, non-magnetic and lightweight, and capable of being heat-treated for strengthening.

Material shortcomings

Poor cold formability, making sheet metal bending and deep drawing difficult; poor thermal conductivity, requiring strict welding protection measures; high material and processing costs; not resistant to hydrofluoric acid or concentrated hydrochloric acid; prone to residual stresses after welding, requiring stress relief treatment

Recommended description

Titanium Alloy TC4 alloy sheet has high specific strength, excellent fatigue resistance, and resistance to chloride ion corrosion, making it suitable for load-bearing sheet metal structural components; however, it has poor ductility, is difficult to bend and form cold, requires inert gas protection during welding, is relatively expensive, and is not suitable for use in strongly reducing acid environments.

Common applications

• Aerospace

Sheet metal brackets for aircraft equipment compartments, housings for onboard instruments, and various load-bearing thin-walled protective panels—utilizing high specific strength to reduce weight while withstanding vibration and alternating loads.

• Marine Equipment

Load-bearing housings for underwater detection equipment and sheet metal components for instrument supports on offshore platforms—resistant to seawater corrosion and capable of withstanding hydrostatic pressure and impact loads.

• Specialized Industrial Equipment

Load-bearing sheet metal frames for precision equipment operating under vibration, and protective covers for equipment in high-pressure, corrosive environments, balancing structural strength with corrosion resistance.

• Medical Field

Load-bearing brackets for medical devices and load-bearing sheet metal components for implantable devices, featuring good biocompatibility and non-magnetic properties.

• Testing/Inspection Instruments

Non-magnetic load-bearing sheet metal bases and brackets for MRI and precision measurement equipment, ensuring they are non-magnetic and do not interfere with detection signals.
