Titanium metal saves sportsmen heads!

When an incredibly strong and light weight part is required then titanium metal is a product that will fit the bill. Titanium Alloy is as strong as steel metal, it has a low density and it has the additional benefit of not being a metal that suffers from corrosion. It is becoming the metal that a variety of industries are turning to as they carry out research and develop new items. It is used in many hospitals around the world, where it is used as parts for replacement knee joints.

It has also been used to help the heads of sportsmen as it is used to create the grill that cricketers have on their helmets. Clearly the players’ and manufacturers are confident that titanium grill on helmets will stand up to being hit by a ball bowled at around 90-100 miles an hour. Purchasers in the aerospace industry are happy as well to buy titanium for their products.  Check @ www.titanium.com.sg

Titanium Metal Fire Safety

Information about the Safe Handling and Use of Titanium metal and powders. Metals in a combustible form, including titanium, can present fire and explosion hazards. However, risks can be minimized through proper housekeeping, planning, engineering, and training. The size and shape of the titanium products are key in determining the combustibility risks of the metal.

Large castings and ingots are generally not combustible under ordinary circumstances.  Housekeeping is one of the key factors in preventing fires and explosion hazards. It is critically important to minimize titanium dust and to isolate titanium in combustible forms. The importance of dust control cannot be overstated, as it is a significant component when dealing with titanium or any metal in a combustible form, to prevent incidents that can result in tragic outcomes. Proper operation and maintenance of equipment, and minimizing the amount of product that can become involved in a fire, are also important aspects of an effective housekeeping program.

Any fire involving titanium can present significant risks. The primary goal is to limit the potential of an event, but should an event occur, the goal is to successfully limit its impact and risks. “The most dangerous forms of combustible metals, with the exception of molten metal, are dust, powders, and machining swarf, (swarf is also known as chips or by other process-specific names such as turnings, that are the debris or waste resulting from machining) all of which have large surface areas relative to the amount of metal. Therefore, good housekeeping is a must:  A large number of incidents can be mitigated with proper housekeeping and by minimizing the amount of product that can become involved.  Planning for incidents with local emergency responders is also critical; this is important not only for primary manufacturers, but also for any facility handling titanium in a combustible form, such as secondary users, machine shops, and recycling facilities. “The proper handling of fires involving titanium and other metals in a combustible form does not occur by happenstance,” the chief emphasizes. “It is the result of detailed planning and a close working relationship between facility personnel and emergency responders.”

One of the most important concerns is to ensure that personnel alert local emergency responders prior to an event about titanium’s specific risks and hazards. These include the forms of the material that may become involved in an emergency incident, such as powders, dusts, or molten metal; as well as the potential involvement of chemicals that may be associated with processing. 

When a titanium fire is in its incipient stage, it is still possible to deal with it. However, titanium very quickly reaches extremely high temperatures, and the ability to extinguish a spreading titanium fire becomes very limited.” Because titanium’s burning temperature is over 7000°F, a titanium fire can result in a structure quickly becoming untenable. The high temperature results in the breakdown of water to its constituent elements of hydrogen and oxygen, resulting in hydrogen explosions. Therefore, the application of water to titanium fires (and most metals in a combustible form), is the same as adding an oxidizer and fuel source. The burning metal will also pull water out of concrete and any other material with which it comes in contact.

Lightweight Champion Titanium faces Heavy weight jobs

The twenty first century metal Titanium (Ti) can be found everywhere, from tennis rackets to jet engine parts. Titanium alloys are used in air crafts, armor plates, naval ships, spacecraft, satellites and missiles because of their high tensile strength, light weight, extraordinary corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. Welded titanium pipe is used in the chemical industry for its corrosion resistance, and its use is growing in petroleum drilling because of its strength, light weight and corrosion resistance. Titanium alloyed with vanadium is used in the outer skin of aircraft, fire walls, landing gear and hydraulic tubing.

Other uses:

• Due to excellent resistance to sea water,  titanium is used to make propeller shafts and rigging and CP grade titanium tubes are used in the heat ex-changers of desalination plants and in heater-chillers for salt water aquariums.
• Because it is considered to be physiologically inert, titanium is used in joint replacement implants such as hip ball and sockets and to make medical equipment and in pipe/tank lining in food processing. Titanium is also used for surgical instruments.
• Titanium alloys make highly durable and long lasting eye glass frames. Both traditional alloys and shape memory alloys find use in this application.
• Many backpackers use titanium equipment, including cookware, eating utensils, lanterns and tent stakes because titanium products can be significantly lighter without compromising strength.
• Titanium is popular in consumer products such as tennis rackets, golf clubs, bicycles, laboratory equipment and laptop computers.

About 95% of mined and synthetic titanium mineral concentrates was used to make titanium dioxide (TiO2) a pigment used to impart whiteness to paper and inks. Anything you see white is due to use of titanium dioxide. One of the largest producer of titanium dioxide, Huntsman Tioxide (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd is also our regular customer. Titanium is also added in steel alloys to reduce grain size and as a deoxidizer and in stainless steel to reduce carbon content. Titanium is often alloyed with aluminum (to refine grain size), vanadium, copper (to harden), iron, manganese, molybdenum, and other metals.

The quality and composition of all of the materials that go into making these metal blends must be verified. For example, if the titanium used in the manufacture of propeller shafts or other parts designed for underwater use is not alloyed with the right metal for the application, the parts won’t have the needed corrosion resistance. Similarly, titanium must be alloyed with precise amounts of platinum, palladium, or ruthenium to make pipes that can withstand harsh chemical processing environments.

Titan Singapore keeps extensive stock various grades of titanium materials. Drops us email or visit us to know more.

Analyzing Metals - Gold

The livelihood of businesses that buy and recycle gold, such as jewelry stores and pawn shops, depends in part on being able to identify fake gold and to determine the accurate karat (K) weight of gold jewelry. With the volatility and high price of gold, failing to detect just a small variation in composition can be an expensive mistake. Even the seemingly simple task of distinguishing between gold plating and solid gold can be a challenge as counterfeiters become more adept.

Gold plated means that the jewelry is made with a layer of gold on the surface over another type of metal underneath. The most common identifying marks on gold plate are HGE (gold electroplate) and RGP (rolled gold plate), but not all gold-plated jewelry has such a stamp. High-quality gold plate can be thick enough to pass nitric acid scratch test, which only tests the surface layer. A deeper cut to the piece may yield more information about its content but will also damage it.

Other verification methods include weighing the jewelry in question against a known gold piece, or submerging the piece in water and measuring the displacement. Gold jewelry can be examined with a loupe to check for different colors under worn areas. Many jewelers also test with a strong magnet, as real gold isn’t magnetic.

Jewelers and pawn brokers that fail to verify the gold that comes into their shops using at least a couple of methods will fall prey to increasingly sophisticated counterfeiters who know how to get around these tests. Recent news stories describe scams involving jewelry made with non-magnetic metals that mimic gold, fakes plated with enough gold so as to appear to be all gold, or gold-plated or copper counterfeits stamped 14K or 18K.

“The fakes are getting better,” says one pawn shop owner. “They’re beating the magnet test, the weight test. Nowadays, gold needs to be tested several ways, including scratch testing or cutting into the metal, even if it means ruining the piece. Unfortunately, most of my customers intend to reclaim their jewelry and don’t want it damaged.”

To be absolutely certain of the composition of gold and other precious metals, many businesses are now turning to X-ray fluorescence (XRF) technology.  XRF analyzers provide a fast, accurate, and most importantly, a nondestructive method to test the purity and composition of all precious metals. XRF quickly provides the exact karat weight and percentages of all elements within an item – easily identifying non-standard, under-karated, and even advanced counterfeit material that acid testing is incapable of differentiating.  What’s more, some XRF instruments feature technology that can identify gold-plated items that, undetected, could adversely affect the profitability of your business. This functionality not only protects your interests but those of your clients, who can see for themselves the exact percentage of pure gold in their jewelry.

XRF analysis also can work in tandem with traditional testing to identify more heavily gold-plated items. When readings taken with an XRF analyzer on four or five different areas on a piece show differing results, this can be an indication that the item is heavily plated and further testing is warranted.  This would mean filing or drilling into the item to expose material beneath the surface layer.
