How to prevent the ignition of titanium alloy rods during alkaline washing?

In order to prevent and reduce the ignition of titanium alloy rods during alkaline washing, titanium rod manufacturers can take the following measures:

1. Select qualified alkaline lotion components;

2. Strictly control the temperature of the lye;

3. Insulate the alkali-washed frame with high-temperature-resistant coating or high-temperature-resistant insulating gasket. If the stainless steel alkali washing frame is used, ceramic strips or ceramic sheets can be placed to separate the titanium material from the steel frame, which can also avoid fire.

During the alkali cleaning process of GR5 titanium alloy rods, the lye is continuously taken away or evaporated by the workpiece, so it is necessary to replenish the lye and adjust it in time to keep the composition of the lye relatively stable. During alkaline cleaning, the insoluble oxide scale slag precipitates at the bottom of the tank, which affects the good thermal conductivity of the tank body, and the gaps caused by the precipitation make the steel tank extremely prone to electrochemical corrosion, which greatly shortens its service life. Therefore, the sediment should be cleaned up in time. It is a common method to adopt a movable tank bottom to collect slag. When it is necessary to remove the sediment, it is only necessary to lift the movable tank bottom away.
