Introduction and application of titanium spring

Titanium springs mainly include tensile titanium springs, titanium compression springs, torsion titanium springs and titanium bending springs. Titanium springs have high elasticity, high strength and high plasticity, and have better fatigue resistance than steel springs. Titanium alloy has higher specific strength and lower elastic modulus, so it is an ideal spring material. Compared with steel springs, titanium springs have the advantages of light weight, small size and high resonance frequency. Their density and elastic modulus are only half of steel springs, and their strength is almost the same as steel springs. Due to these characteristics, the titanium spring can be designed to have a smaller diameter and fewer turns than the steel spring in practical applications. There are many types of springs, and titanium springs are only a small part of them. Because titanium has the characteristics of light weight, high specific strength, and strong corrosion resistance, titanium springs are widely used in chemical industry, marine engineering, automobile manufacturing and other fields. There are many types of titanium springs: stretched titanium springs, titanium compression springs, torsion titanium springs, etc. The manufacturing methods of titanium springs can be roughly divided into cold coil method and hot coil method. The main material of the titanium spring is titanium alloy wire. The diameter of the titanium wire is less than 8mm. The cold coil method is generally used, and the hot coil method is more than 8mm. The heat treatment of the titanium spring can be annealed and pickled according to customer requirements.


Titanium alloy has higher specific strength and lower elastic modulus, so it is an ideal spring material. High strength is the most important performance requirement for the material, so high-strength β titanium alloys, such as Ti-3Al-8V-6Cr-4Mo-4Zr and Timetal LCB (Ti-6.8Mo-4.5Fe-1.5Al) alloys are used to make springs The best choice. The application market of titanium springs is currently immature, mainly due to the fatigue resistance of titanium springs, which are not as strong as 60Si2Mn. The titanium spring materials used by domestic manufacturers are mainly replaced by Ti-6Al-4vl, but it is not used to make titanium springs. The ideal material, a technology company in the United States experimented with a new titanium alloy material, improved the existing titanium alloy formula, developed a new titanium alloy material Ti-4.5Fe-6.8Mo-1.5Al, named it LCB, the LEB titanium alloy spring after long-term use test, in addition to reaching the index that the steel spring can reach, the most important thing is the corrosion resistance of the titanium alloy. In the standard salt spray corrosion fatigue test, the fatigue life of the general steel spring It is 50% lower than air, and the fatigue life of titanium LEB material is 4% lower than air. There is also the light weight and other characteristics of titanium alloy springs. Titanium has the characteristics of light weight and high specific strength, and the specific gravity is only 1/2 of that of steel. With the popularity of titanium materials, titanium products are more and more popular. Titanium springs have high elasticity, high strength, and high plasticity, and have better fatigue resistance than steel springs. The application of titanium in the automotive field will greatly reduce the weight of the car, save fuel consumption, improve the efficiency of the car, and reduce exhaust emissions.
