Ebika ebikulu ebya titanium plates .

Okusinziira ku mutindo ogw’enjawulo, titanium plates zisobola okwawulwamu ebika bingi. Okusinziira ku butonde bw’eddagala, obubaawo bwa titanium businga kugabanyizibwamu ebika bibiri: pulati za titaniyamu ennongoofu n’obupande bwa titanium alloy. Pure titanium plates zigabanyizibwamu grades nga TA1, TA2, ne TA3 okusinziira ku bulongoofu obw’enjawulo. Obulongoofu bukendeera era amaanyi geeyongera mpolampola. Pure titanium plates zirina obuveera obulungi n’okuweta obulungi era zitera okukozesebwa mu byuma ebikozesebwa mu kemiko n’okuyooyoota ebizimbe.

Titanium alloy plates zongerako ebintu ebirala (nga aluminiyamu, vanadium, molybdenum, n’ebirala) mu titanium omulongoofu okulongoosa omulimu gwayo. Ebipande bya titanium alloy ebya bulijjo mulimu TC4 (Ti-6al-4V), TC11 (Ti-6.5al-3.5MO-1.5ZR-0.3SI), n’ebirala Mu byo, TC4 titanium plate y’emu ku nkola za titanium ezisinga okukozesebwa. Alina amaanyi amangi, okuziyiza ebbugumu n’okuziyiza okukulukuta, era akozesebwa nnyo mu by’omu bbanga n’eby’obujjanjabi. Amaanyi g’okusika kwa TC4 titanium plate gasobola okutuuka ku 895 MPa, ate ebbugumu erikola liyinza okutuuka ku 400℃.

Okusinziira ku nkola y’okufulumya, obubaawo bwa titanium busobola okwawulwamu obubaawo obw’ebbugumu-obuyiringisibwa n’obusaanyi obunnyogovu-okuyiringisibwa. Ebipande ebyokya-ebiyiringisibwa biyiringisibwa waggulu w’ebbugumu ly’okuddamu okukola (recrystallization temperature), ebiseera ebisinga nga bisukka mm 3, era biba n’amaanyi amangi n’obugumu. Ennyogovu-ebipande ebiyiringisibwa biyiringisibwa ku bbugumu erya bulijjo, biba bigonvu (ebiseera ebisinga wansi wa mm 3), biba n’oludda oluseeneekerevu, era biba n’obutuufu obulungi obw’ekipimo. Okugatta ku ekyo, waliwo titanium composite plates, ezikolebwa nga zikozesa welding ezitulika oba eziyiringisibwa titanium plates n’ebyuma ebirala (nga ekyuma, aluminiyamu, n’ebirala). Zirina obuziyiza bw’okukulukuta kwa titanium n’amaanyi ga substrate, era zitera okukozesebwa mu byuma ebikozesebwa mu by’eddagala ne yinginiya w’ennyanja.
