On the manufacturing of titanium heat exchangers
Thread Content
Those who have worked on titanium heat exchangers, please share your experience: I am also dealing with steel in contact with titanium, and I don’t know much about this. Those who have experience could give some guidance? Thank you. The issue I’m facing is that the tube sheet is a titanium composite plate – Q345R combined with TA2 – while the heat exchange tubes are made of TA2, with a diameter of Ф38×1.2. During manufacturing, is it necessary to leave some extra length for the heat exchange tubes? Also, can the boring process be used for processing such large titanium tubes with thin walls? Will it deform?
The thickness of titanium tubes is not very large; the thickness of titanium heat exchange tubes commonly used is generally 1.0 to 2.0.
