TM9805 Titanium Addictive

Titanium Addictive Description

Titanium Addictive is a titanium-based alloy supplied in block form, intended for engineering applications that require defined mechanical performance and corrosion resistance. The material exhibits a controlled composition with high purity levels, ensuring consistent density, strength, and processability. Its homogeneous microstructure minimises impurities, facilitating precise machining and forming operations, which is critical in high-performance industrial engineering settings.

Titanium Addictive Applications

1.       Aerospace and Transportation Applications
   - Used as a structural component in aerospace airframes to achieve enhanced load-bearing capacity by leveraging its high strength-to-weight ratio.

2.       Industrial Manufacturing
   - Applied as a machining block in precision fabrication tools to maintain dimensional accuracy by utilising the material’s stable microstructure.

3.       Medical Devices
   - Serves as a base material in implantable devices to achieve corrosion resistance and biocompatibility by exploiting titanium’s inherent chemical inertness.

Titanium Addictive Packing

Titanium Addictive is packaged in inert, moisture-resistant, and anti-static materials to prevent contamination and physical damage during transit. The blocks are encased in robust protective wrapping and placed within secure shipping containers. Recommended storage conditions include a cool, dry environment to inhibit oxidation. Custom packaging options, such as labelled compartments or specialised sealing, are available to meet specific handling requirements.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the machining characteristics of Titanium Addictive?
A1: The block form of Titanium Addictive exhibits uniform machining behaviour due to its homogeneous microstructure and minimal impurity levels. This uniformity reduces tool wear and promotes efficient cutting and shaping.

Q2: Can the alloy composition be adjusted for specific application needs?
A2: SAM offers minor compositional adjustments by controlling trace alloying elements during the production process. These modifications help tailor material properties such as fatigue resistance and formability to meet targeted performance requirements.

Q3: What quality control measures are applied during production?
A3: Quality assurance includes microstructural analysis, spectroscopic elemental evaluation, and mechanical testing. Each block undergoes multiple inspection stages to verify dimension stability, surface finish, and overall material integrity for demanding engineering applications.

Additional Information
