Titanium Clad Pressure Vessel
A Titanium Pressure Vessel will very often be specified for highly-corrosive industrial applications and are frequently used in processes in which chlorides are a component. Salts, acids and other chemicals are seriously corrosive and damaging to lesser materials than Titanium.
Titanium is a superior corrosion and heat resistant metal. Titanium clad steel plates are made of common grade TA1 or TA2 combined with carbon steel or even alloy steel using the process of explosive welding along with hot rolling for smooth-surfaced plates.
Cladding is simply the process of adding or depositing a layer of material to the workpiece to improve its structural integrity. This can accomplished with either a mechanical process like explosion bonding or by a fusion welding process over the inner surface of the vessel.
Carbon steel is frequently used as a material for pressure vessels, and for good reason. It is resistant to melting, cracking, and other forms of damage. Carbon steel resists shock and vibrations and has high tensile strength.
