Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of titanium alloy materials, in particular to a titanium alloy material for heat-resistant titanium welded pipes. BACKGROUND

[0002] Titanium alloy is widely used in high-temperature pipelines in the fields of aerospace, energy and chemical industry, shipbuilding, etc. due to its high strength, low density, excellent corrosion resistance and good weldability. Especially in high-temperature environments, the heat resistance of titanium alloy becomes a key factor determining its application range. However, traditional titanium alloy often has problems such as grain growth and unstable structure under high-temperature conditions. Long-term use under high temperature will cause changes in microstructure such as grain coarsening, resulting in a significant decrease in mechanical properties such as tensile strength. Especially in severe working conditions above 600℃, the strength retention rate is often less than 70%, which is difficult to meet the load-bearing requirements of high-pressure high-temperature pipelines.

[0003] Therefore, it is of great significance to develop a titanium alloy material with excellent heat resistance, high structure stability and suitable for welding, which can expand the application range of titanium alloy materials and improve their service life. SUMMARY
