Product Introduction
TC4 titanium alloy I-beam is a long titanium material with a cross-section in the shape of the letter 'I'. It is usually formed by hot extrusion or hot rolling processes, and can also be combined through plate welding. Its flanges are wide and edges are large, the web is relatively tall, and the section modulus is large. The material strictly follows the chemical composition standards of TC4, with aluminum (Al) content controlled at 5.5%–6.8%, vanadium (V) content at 3.5%–4.5%, and very low impurity content. Since the density of TC4 alloy is only 4.51 g/cm³, about 56% that of steel, the TC4 I-beam is much lighter than steel components while providing the same strength. Its tensile strength can reach over 895 MPa, with a yield strength exceeding 825 MPa, while maintaining good fracture toughness and seawater corrosion resistance. This profile retains the physical characteristics of titanium alloy, including low thermal conductivity and moderate elastic modulus. Attention to springback is needed during processing, but once formed, it has excellent structural stability.
Product Applications
TC4 I-beams are mainly used as load-bearing structural components in fields with extreme requirements for weight reduction and corrosion resistance. In the aerospace sector, they are used to manufacture aircraft frames, floor beams, and fuselage support structures. In marine engineering, due to their immunity to chloride ion corrosion, TC4 I-beams are often used for the support frames of deep-sea explorers, deck components of offshore drilling platforms, and stiffeners for ship bulkheads. Additionally, in high-end construction and bridge projects, they are also used as key load-bearing beams to meet the design requirements for century-long corrosion resistance. In the chemical and energy industries, they are used to build operational platforms and equipment supports that are exposed long-term to corrosive atmospheres.
Product Packaging
Since TC4 I-shaped profiles are high value-added precision profiles, the surface quality requirements are strict, and packaging needs to be very meticulous. Generally, they are stacked by specification and layer, with moisture-proof paper or rubber pads between layers to prevent mutual scratches. For export or long-distance transportation, fumigation-free wooden boxes should be used, lined internally with flexible cushioning materials to ensure that the profiles do not deform or get scratched during transportation. At the same time, material certificates, mechanical performance test reports, and packing lists are included with the shipment.
