Can Gr12 titanium tubing be used at low temperatures?

Gr12 titanium as a rare metal element, its performance is far more than what we see, the general power generation equipment, especially its thermal cycle temperature lower side, for titanium provides an ideal environment for use.
It is possible to develop a new type of titanium alloy tube applied at higher lower operating temperatures, compared with the developed high-strength low-temperature titanium alloy tube, it will have greater potential to save metal and improve efficiency, the future goal is to develop a use of titanium tubes with a temperature of up to 650 degree C. This alloy can be used for high-pressure turbine discs, and commonly used in the base of the discs compared to the weight can be reduced by 20%.

However, with the increase in operating temperature will inevitably bring more new problems, such as surface oxidation, long-term stability of high-volume metallurgical production, frictional corrosion, fire hazards and hot salt stress corrosion. Some of these problems can be solved by means of surface coatings or surface treatments, for which research is being actively pursued.
