Titanium Welded Tube

Titanium Welded Tubes are manufactured by cold-rolling or strip-forming titanium coils and longitudinally welding them with or without filler metal. These tubes provide an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and cost efficiency, making them ideal for non-structural applications, especially where smooth inner surfaces and consistent wall thickness are required.

Compliant with ASTM B338 / B862, titanium welded tubes are widely used in heat exchangers, condensers, seawater desalination systems, and chemical processing equipment.

Titanium Strip Preparation
Titanium coils or plates are slit into precise strip widths and cleaned to remove surface oxide and contamination.

Forming
The strip is continuously roll-formed into a tubular shape using precision rollers.

Welding
The edges of the tube are welded longitudinally usingTIG (Tungsten Inert Gas)orLaser weldingunder an inert atmosphere (usually Argon) to ensure a clean, high-quality weld.

Weld Bead Treatment
Internal and external weld beads may be ground or leveled as required to ensure smooth surface and accurate dimensions.

Heat Treatment (Optional)
Annealing may be performed in a vacuum or inert atmosphere furnace to relieve stress and improve ductility.

Sizing & Straightening
The welded tube is passed through a sizing mill to achieve precise diameter and roundness, followed by straightening.

Surface Finishing
Tubes are pickled, polished, or bright finished depending on application requirements.

Non-Destructive Testing (NDT)
Includes eddy current testing, hydrostatic testing, and/or ultrasonic testing to ensure tube integrity and quality.

Cutting & Inspection
Tubes are cut to specified lengths, deburred, visually inspected, and checked for dimensional accuracy.

Packaging
Final tubes are packed in protective wrapping or wooden cases to avoid mechanical damage and contamination

Heat Exchangers & Condensers – smooth flow and corrosion resistance

Seawater Desalination Plants – brine-resistant tubing

Chemical Processing Equipment – acid-resistant tube lines

Power Plant Cooling Systems – condenser tubing

Pharmaceutical & Food Processing – clean process lines

Pulp & Paper Industry – bleaching system piping

Titanium Exhaust or Transfer Lines – low-pressure applications

Titanium welded tubes are packed for safe transport and corrosion protection, especially for export and sensitive installations:

Inner Packaging:
