Titanium forming processes are often limited by severe adhesive wear as a result of poor friction conditions. This can be partially remedied with careful selection of lubricant, billet preparation and tool coating, but the optimal combination of these factors is not known. A full factorial ring compression experiment, with grade 2 commercially pure titanium rings deformed at 300 °C, was conducted to study the effect of each of these factors over three levels. The change in internal diameter was compared to a set of calibration curves generated by an FEA simulation of the process in order to determine the friction coefficient during each trial. A robust statistical analysis methodology was used to isolate and evaluate the effect of varying each factor. The choice of lubricant was found to be the most statistically significant factor by a considerable margin, followed by the method of billet preparation, with tool coating found to be insignificant. Of the lubricants tested, the graphite-based lubricant resulted in the lowest friction, followed by the WS2- and MoS2-based lubricants. Sandblasted billet surfaces resulted in similar friction to as-machined surfaces, whereas those subjected to micro-arc oxidation performed notably worse. For reducing friction during warm forming of titanium, a graphite-based lubricant is therefore recommended, with tool coating and billet surface preparation unlikely to provide significant further improvement.

Porous bioactive thin film on commercially pure titanium substrate was prepared by micro-arc oxidation (MAO) in electrolytic solution, which contained calcium acetate, β-glycerol phosphate disodium salt pentahydrate (β-GP) and lanthanum nitrate. The phases and microstructure of the bioactive films were examined by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray spectrometer and electron probe microanalysis. The results showed that: (1) porous bioactive films with about 10μm were formed on titanium substrate by MAO; (2) phases of the thin films were hydroxyapatite, anatase and rutile; (3) elements of Ca, P, and Ti of films were identified by EDS.

Abstract RMI 0.2% Pd is a grade of commercially pure titanium to which up to 0.2% palladium has been added. It has a guaranteed minimum yield strength of 40,000 psi with good ductility and formability. It is recommended for corrosion resistance in the chemical industry and other places where the environment is mildly reducing or varies between oxidizing and reducing. The alloy has improved resistance to crevice corrosion at low pH and elevated temperatures. This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, elasticity, tensile properties, and bend strength. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, joining, and surface treatment. Filing Code: Ti-74. Producer or source: RMI Company.

Abstract UPM CP Titanium Grade 3 (UNS R50550) is an unalloyed commercially pure titanium that exhibits moderate strength (higher strength than that of Titanium Grade 2), along with excellent formability and corrosion resistance. It offers the highest ASME allowable design stress of any commercially pure grade of titanium, and can be used in continuous service up to 425 °C (800 °F) and in intermittent service up to 540 °C (1000 °F). This datasheet provides information on composition, physical properties, and elasticity. It also includes information on corrosion resistance as well as forming, heat treating, machining, and joining. Filing Code: Ti-167. Producer or source: United Performance Metals.
