Titanium bronzes

Tungsten-base alloys have been used in the friction stirring of copper alloys, nickel-aluminum bronze, titanium alloys, and steels (Ref 4, 15, 26, 28, 33, 34, 38 8). The FSW of 1018 steel (Ref 4) and ultrahard 0.29C-Mn-Si-Mo-B 500 Brinell steel (Ref 40) caused tool wear on tungsten alloy FSW tools. Four tungsten-base materials have been specifically cited... 

Which of the following materials are alloys aluminium, nickel, stainless steel, bronze, titanium, brass, lead, tantalum State the composition of one of them and give examples of its use as a material of construction of chemical plant. 

In the sheet-forming process, stainless steel, bronze, nickel-base alloys, or titanium powders are mixed with a thermosetting plastic and presintered to polymerize the plastic. Sintering takes place in wide, shallow trays. The specified porosity is achieved by selecting the proper particle size of the powder. Sheet is available in a variety of thicknesses between 16 x 30 mm and as much as 60 x 150 cm. A sheet can be sheared, roUed, and welded into different configurations. 

Clad tube eets in service with carbon steel backer material include stainless-steel types 304, 304L, 316, 316L, and 317, Monel, Inconel, nickel, naval rolled brass, copper, admiralty, silicon bronze, and titanium. Naval rolled brass and Monel clad on stainless steel are also in service. 

Because the plates are made of thin pressed metal, materials resistant to corrosive attack can be easily selected. Plates are standard and mass-produced,. Specific applications are dealt with by changing plate arrangements. Stainless steels, monel, titanium, aluminum bronze, and other exotic metals... 

High-temperature reduction of Na2Ti03 with hydrogen produces nonstoichiometric materials, Na jTi02 (jr = 0.20-0.25), called titanium bronzes by analogy with the better-known tungsten bronzes (p. 1016). They have a blue-black, metallic appearance with high electrical conductivity and are chemically inert (even hydrofluoric acid does not attack them). 

A number of nonstoichiometric bronzes are also known which, like the titanium bronzes... 

Electroless nickel deposition may then be carried out directly onto steel, aluminium, nickel or cobalt surfaces. Surfaces of copper, brass, bronze, chromium or titanium are not catalytic for deposition of nickel-phosphorus and the reaction must be initiated by one of the following operations ... 

This process uses a moving laser beam, directed by a computer, to prepare the model. The model is made up of layers having thicknesses about 0.005-0.020 in. (0.012-0.50 mm) that are polymerized into a solid product. Advanced techniques also provides fast manufacturing of precision molds (152). An example is the MIT three-dimensional printing (3DP) in which a 3-D metal mold (die, etc.) is created layer by layer using powdered metal (300- or 400-series stainless steel, tool steel, bronze, nickel alloys, titanium, etc.). Each layer is inkjet-printed with a plastic binder. The print head generates and deposits micron-sized droplets of a proprietary water-based plastic that binds the powder together. 

Stable in pure form after 3 months, caused extensive corrosion of aluminum, anodized aluminum, and stainless steel will corrode iron, bronze, and brass when moist. Titanium 71°C, 6 months, appeared good. Stainless Steel 43°C,... 

The combination of toxic hazard and high price (itself in part due to the extra measures needed in production processes to ensure the workers safety) has been an effective brake on commercial development of beryllium chemistry. Where possible substitute, albeit less effective, materials are often used titanium as an alternate lightweight metal or carbon fiber composites, phosphor-bronzes in place of beryllium alloys, aluminum nitride in place of BeO (1). 

Zinc is used with copper and other metals to produce alloys of brass, bronze, and special die-casting alloys (e.g., copper, aluminum, nickel, and titanium). 

FIGURE 16.8 These three artifacts represent the progress that has been made in the extraction of d-metals. (a) An ancient bronze chariot axle cap from China made from an alloy of metals that are easy to extract, (b) An early iron steam engine made from a metal that was moderately easy to extract once high temperatures could be achieved, (c) A twentieth-century airplane engine with titanium components that had to await high temperatures and advanced technology before the element became widely available. 

The synthesis of titanium nitride by a combustion method was first studied by Moissan in 1892, as reported by Hlavacek.27 Moissan found that titanium has a strong affinity for nitrogen and burns in an atmosphere of gas at 1070 K with incandescence forming the hard, bronze-colored mononitride, TiN. 

Some metals depend on formation of a protective film for corrosion resistance in sea water. A fresh supply of oxygen brought to the surface of the metal tends to promote the corrosion reaction in some cases, and in others it helps form desired protective films. If a critical velocity of flowing sea water is exceeded, the film may be eroded away. The velocity for useful corrosion resistance is low for copper, higher for aluminum, cupro-nickels, and aluminum bronzes, and highest for stainless steels, Hastelloy C, and titanium. 

Metals that remain ductile at very low temperatures are preferred for use with liquid hydrogen. Examples include aluminum, copper, Monel, Inconel, titanium, austenitic stainless steels, brass, and bronze [3.19]. 

PMS liquids are corrosion-inert substances. Under normal conditions and heated to 100-150 °C they do not cause corrosion and for a long period of time do not change in airflow when in contact with aluminum and magnesium alloys, bronzes, carbon and doped steels, as well as titanium alloys. PMS liquids do not change their properties under 100 °C in air for 200 hours in contact with the above-listed alloys as well as with beryllium, bismuth, cadmium, Invar alloy, brass, copper, mel-chior, solder, lead, silver. The stability of the properties of PMS liquids in these conditions is usually accompanied by the absence of metal and alloy corrosion, although the colour of the metal surface may slightly change.
