Ferrotitanium Manufacture

Ferrotitanium Manufacture

Ferrotitanium can be added to steel as an alloying element during the steelmaking process to refine the structure grains.

Description of Ferrotitanium

Ferrotitanium

is an alloy of titanium and iron. In addition to iron and titanium, it also contains aluminum, silicon, carbon, phosphorus, sulfur, manganese, etc.

Titanium Ferro specifications: /70 silver gray, 10-80mm

Supply capacity: 10 tons/day.

remelting method of processing

The remelting method uses scrap titanium or sponge titanium as raw material and adds iron to remelt it. This method generally uses induction furnace remelting. It is also used to smelt in a consumable electric arc furnace or use molten steel to mix sponge titanium to produce high titanium ferro. Titanium scrap and scrap steel are used as raw materials and remelted in an induction furnace to produce ferrotitanium with about 70% Ti (Fe-Ti system has a eutectic point at about 68% Ti). To reduce the burning loss of titanium during the remelting process, the titanium scrap is packed in a steel cylinder and pressed tightly. Add a mixture of barium chloride and sodium chloride, cryolite, or a similar low melting point mixture as a flux to cover the titanium-iron melt. The remelting method can also produce various titanium composite alloys.

Developed countries such as Western Europe mainly use the remelting method to produce high titanium iron. In recent years, there have been new developments in the remelting process, and a process for preparing high titanium iron by smelting in a lined electro-slag furnace has emerged. This process was developed based on the principles and advantages of electro-slag remelting. It can eliminate the complex vacuum system of induction furnaces and consumable electric arc furnaces, reduce costs, and greatly simplify production operations. The quality of high-titanium iron produced by the remelting method is already very stable, especially in the control of oxygen content. However, because it uses scrap titanium as raw material, the source of raw materials is limited, the production cost is too high, and it is greatly affected by market prices.

Applications in Industry

Ferrotitanium manufactured by the remelting method is widely used in aerospace-grade steel, specialty alloys, and high-performance welding materials. The stable oxygen content and consistent chemical composition make remelted ferrotitanium ideal for applications where batch-to-batch uniformity is critical. In automotive manufacturing, ferrotitanium deoxidizers improve the surface quality and mechanical properties of sheet steel. The alloy is also essential in the production of titanium-modified steels used in offshore platforms, pressure vessels, and chemical processing equipment where corrosion resistance and strength are paramount.

FAQ

Q: What is the typical lead time for ferrotitanium orders?

A: Standard grades are usually available within 15-25 days. Custom compositions or large volume orders may require 30-45 days depending on raw material availability.
