Pickled Titanium Coil

Pickled Titanium Coil - Premium Surface Treatment for Industrial Applications

Baoji Jucheng Titanium Industry Co., Ltd., established in 2004 and located in China's Titanium Valley, delivers enterprise-grade Pickled Titanium Coil manufactured under strict ASTM B265 and ASME SB265 standards. Our hot-rolled titanium strips undergo precision chemical descaling using controlled HF-HNO₃ solutions, removing oxide scale and alpha-case layers to reveal a uniform silver-gray matte finish. With thickness ranging from 0.3mm to 12.0mm and widths up to 1,500mm, our coils achieve surface roughness (Ra) of 3.2–6.3 μm.

Backed by over 20 years of titanium expertise, an annual inventory of 3,000 tons, and a 120,000 m² production facility, we guarantee fast delivery and consistent quality for your downstream processing needs.

Technical Specifications

Manufacturing Excellence

Our state-of-the-art production facilities incorporate controlled pickling lines, continuous annealing, precision rolling, and sophisticated titanium melting. Every coil length is guaranteed to have consistent mechanical qualities because to this smooth process.

During pickling, hydrogen embrittlement is avoided by strict acid ratio control (HNO₃:HF >10:1). For crucial applications, post-treatment vacuum annealing ensures material integrity by outgassing any absorbed hydrogen.

We consistently improve our processing parameters, as evidenced by our 41 utility model patents and 4 invention patents. Every stage of production is subjected to non-destructive testing by our quality control team.

Industrial Applications

Your Pickled Titanium Coil serves demanding environments across multiple sectors:

Chemical and petrochemical: Heat exchangers, reactors, and storage tanks that need to be extremely resistant to corrosion.

Aerospace engineering: High strength-to-weight ratios are required for engine and airframe components.

Marine and offshore: components of offshore platforms that are exposed to saltwater environments, as well as desalination equipment.

Medical Devices: Surgical tools and implantable devices that benefit from sterilization resistance and biocompatibility.

Food processing: Sanitary equipment that can withstand acidic environments and adhere to stringent hygiene standards.

Why Choose Our Pickled Titanium Coil

Superior Surface Integrity

Our chemical pickling process completely eliminates the brittle oxide layer and oxygen-enriched alpha-case. This ensures your material maintains excellent ductility for deep drawing, stamping, and tube manufacturing. The clean, passivated surface forms a stable titanium oxide film immediately after treatment.

Enhanced Downstream Processability

By removing abrasive surface oxides, our Coil significantly extends the service life of your cold-rolling dies and cutting tools. Surface defects become immediately visible on the matte finish, allowing early detection of laminations or cracks before further processing.

Optimal Weldability

The removal of surface carbon and contaminants guarantees high-quality welds without porosity. Your fabrication processes benefit from consistent results across continuous production runs.

Chemical Resistance Excellence

Though the thick oxide scale is removed, the pickling process enables rapid reformation of a thin, uniform protective layer. This provides exceptional resistance to chloride-induced stress corrosion cracking in marine, chemical processing, and desalination applications.

FAQ

Q: What distinguishes sandblasted from titanium coil?

A: Sandblasting uses mechanical abrasive media that can leave residual stress and rougher surfaces. Pickling employs chemical dissolution that's non-abrasive, cleans microscopic crevices thoroughly, and removes alpha-case without work-hardening your material.

Q: Can your pickled coil be used directly for architectural cladding?

A: Yes, though it presents an industrial matte gray appearance. For aesthetic projects, you might prefer cold-rolled bright annealed or anodized finishes. Our pickled coil serves as the ideal substrate for those subsequent treatments.

Q: How do you prevent hydrogen embrittlement during pickling?

A: We maintain strict HNO₃:HF ratios above 10:1 and control bath temperatures precisely. Post-pickling vacuum annealing effectively outgasses absorbed hydrogen, ensuring your material remains ductile.

Q: Why do some coils show visible lines or coil breaks?

A: High-quality suppliers like us use continuous annealing and pickling lines (CAPL) to prevent stationary marks. Lines can occasionally result from improper uncoiling or yield point elongation, but our process minimizes these occurrences.

Q: What surface roughness should I expect from hot-rolled pickled coil?

Standard Ra values range from 3.2 to 6.3 micrometers. If your application requires smoother finishes comparable to Cold Rolled (2B), we recommend additional cold rolling after pickling.
