Have you ever wondered about the effects of open-air heating on titanium? In our latest post, we explore the formation of the alpha case and its impact on the properties of titanium.
Open-air heating of titanium can cause a layer of brittle titanium oxide (called an alpha case) to form on the surface, which can weaken the Titanium and its alloys and make them more susceptible to cracking and fracture. Therefore, it’s important to avoid open-air heating of titanium to maintain its overall properties and reliability.
