Titanium for Pressure Vessels: Properties, Welding and Processing
Titanium is a good material for manufacturing pressure vessels. Titanium stands out for its exceptional properties, including a low specific gravity (4.5), remarkable strength, and impressive resistance to extreme temperatures, crack formation, and corrosion, particularly in wet chlorine gas environments. The mechanical attributes and welding characteristics of titanium are intricately tied to its purity, with higher purity levels enhancing overall performance. Conversely, lower purity levels may...
