Tantalum cannot be processed in the usual way that ordinary metals are processed. Generally, the initial process is forging and heat treatment, using hammering and stamping two ways to make plate blank or round small and medium-sized blank.
There are two Executive Standards for titanium plate: GB / T3621-2007 and GB / T13810-2007, and American standards are ASTM b265, ASTM F136, ASTM F67 and ams4928.
Low density and high specific strength
The density of titanium is 4.51g/cm3, which is higher than that of aluminum, but lower than that of steel, copper and nickel.
Industrial pure titanium: the impurity content of industrial pure titanium is more than that of chemical pure titanium, so its strength and hardness are slightly higher, and its mechanical and chemical properties are similar to those of stainless steel.
Basic use: about 50% of the world's mined tungsten ore is used for smelting high-quality steel, about 35% for producing hard steel, about 10% for tungsten wire, and about 5% for other purposes.
There are more than ten kinds of tungsten ores, and there are mainly two kinds in China: wolframite (tungstate of manganese and iron) and scheelite (calcium tungstate).
