Risk aversion plunged on the positive news of the Russia-Ukraine talks. After several days of rising oil prices, the price of precious metals continued to fall. Domestic futures markets remain stable for the time being.

Back in international markets, WTI crude futures briefly dipped below $100 a barrel, while Brent crude hit its lowest intraday level in nearly two weeks. Spot gold briefly fell below $1,900 an ounce. Comex gold futures closed down 1.1 percent at $1,918.4 an ounce. Comex silver futures closed down 1.14 percent at $24.91 an ounce. "Recently, crude oil prices have been extremely sensitive to changes in geopolitical news." Traders believe that the current oil price is still in the broad impact, Ukraine will still be a premium in the case, although the market further decline, but should not be too pessimistic, it is recommended to wait and see for the time being. The Ukrainian premium is still there and there will be some volatility in the Ti6Al4V alloy market.

What is Titanium Alloy?

Titanium alloy Ti6Al4V is a medium-strength α-β type two-phase titanium alloy containing 6% α-stabilizing element AI and 4% β-stabilizing element V. This alloy has excellent comprehensive properties and has obtained the most extensive applications in the aviation and aerospace industries.

The main properties and uses

Ti6Al4V titanium alloy is heated below 430 ℃ for a long time to form a very thin and protective oxide film. As the heating temperature increases, the oxide film thickens and its protection becomes poor. After the alloy was heated at 700 °C for 2 h, the oxide film thickness reached 25 μrn. Heating at temperatures above 800°C forms a sparse oxide layer. After heating at 1000 °C for 1 h, the thickness of the oxide layer reached 0.65 mm.

Ti6Al4V alloy can be welded by argon arc welding, spot welding, brazing, electron beam welding and plasma welding. The strength of the welded joint is basically the same as that of the base metal.

When Ti6Al4V titanium alloy parts are in contact with aluminum alloy and structural steel parts, especially under certain corrosive medium conditions, aluminum alloy and structural steel parts will suffer accelerated corrosion and damage as the anode of the contact couple due to the negative electrode potential. Therefore, between TC4 titanium alloy parts and aluminum alloy or structural steel parts, protective measures such as padding and anti-corrosion tape should be taken. TC4 alloy parts are strictly prohibited from contact with parts or tools of lead, zinc, cadmium, tin, silver, bismuth and other metals.

Before vacuum annealing, the oxide skin and oxygen-rich layer on the surface of the parts should be removed, and the oil should be carefully removed before entering the furnace. When vacuum annealing parts with complex shapes, fixtures must be used to reduce the deformation of parts. Into the furnace parts are preferably filled with pre-degassed titanium oxide-free chips to prevent oxidation of the parts.

Ti6Al4V titanium alloy is now widely used in the manufacture of aero-engine fans and compressor discs and blades, as well as various load-bearing beams, frames, joints and fasteners in aircraft structures.
