The nature of titanium sponge, packaging and storage

Titanium is a corrosion-resistant metal, but absolutely no oxidation, no corrosive substance is not there. Titanium oxide does not, particularly at high temperatures, easily combines with oxygen, but it is very dense oxide, oxygen can be prevented from further erosion. Titanium sponge is a loose porous sponge-like, large surface area, more lively. The larger the surface area, the contact surface with the air, the higher the activity, easy and gas, water reacts easily oxidized. The titanium oxide is an impurity element, oxygen content exceeded, you can not use titanium sponge, can only be scrapped. Fine powders of titanium sponge in the heat, may cause a fire in case of fire or contact with oxidants time, also can burn in carbon dioxide or nitrogen. Only argon and helium burning titanium powder can only be controlled, according to the combustion science we know, in the processing and handling of metal powders, usually produce a dust cloud, the cloud of dust mixed with air if the right proportion, reaching the limits of explosion inside, outside in case of fire, sparking, static fire can ignite the metal dust. Titanium sponge packaging: titanium sponge per barrel (piece) net weight 70kg ~ 250kg packing, galvanized iron drums, barrels lined with PVC film bag with Uncovery sealed lid junction with the barrel body should there can identify the identity of the packaging is intact. Generally are now 200kg barrel. After the product packaging, drums evacuated, filled with argon. Products should be stored in dry warehouse, shall open dumps or with acid, alkali and other corrosive materials mix. Product transportation should be handled with care to prevent moisture and seals collision damage. Based on the information available, titanium sponge is still no long-term storage experience. Depending on the nature of the experience of titanium sponge and titanium processing of various titanium plate must pick with storage period no longer than one year. We reserve system was stored over titanium sponge. In the 1970s, because of our lack of understanding of the nature of titanium sponge, had received a number of titanium sponge, a bucket was 100kg, large grain size are more now. This batch of titanium sponge receives less than six months, some experts pointed out that, not long-term storage of titanium sponge, titanium sponge National Bureau soon the library, from the factory for the titanium ingot processing and storage, the storage period before and after less than a year. So far as we, the long-term storage of titanium sponge is also inexperienced.
