For the past 40 years, titanium has been the material of choice for condenser tubes exposed to sea and brackish water applications. That said, rising raw material costs make it important to reconcile ...

Titanium alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures). They are light weight, have extraordinary corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme ...

In Part I of this two-part report we examined the various chemical forces at work in condenser tube leaks, the steam plant components placed at risk, and the suite of instrumentation most capable of ...

Grade 5, also known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used alloy. It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal ...
