There are various types of tools that can be used for pipe fittings that are usually classified into three categories; the monkey, pipe and open wrenches. The important thing to remember in pipe fitting is to select a suitable wrench for the job at hand. Each of the above mentioned wrenches is designed for one or more specific tasks. No wrench is suitable for individual tasks encountered in pipe fitting.

A monkey wrench has smooth parallel jaws that are designed specifically for…

Welded titanium tube

The evolution of modern superalloys has coincided with the evolution of the gas turbine engine for the aircraft industry. The rate of development of new alloys has been rapid and, in many respects, surpassed the development in companion joining techniques. Traditionally, emphasis in alloy development has been on high-temperature strength, stress rupture, and oxidation properties. Metal joining has been treated as a separate problem by welding and brazing engineers…

Basic Information(Ti): Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Sometimes called the "space age metal", it has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including to sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) transition metal with a silver color.

Extraction of Titanium(Ti)

Even if the present extraction of titanium by the Kroll Process is relatively energy intensive as compared to other manufacturing metals, the energy and waste…

When you are looking to work with titanium alloys, you want to know all there is to know about them to ensure you are choosing the correct grade. With so many grades on the market, it can be difficult to choose the one that is right for your specifications. This is why you will want to learn about the benefits of titanium TA6V, which also goes under the USA classification of UNS R56400.

Titanium TA6V is a grade 5. Worldwide, this is the most commonly used. It is an alloyed titanium…
