Marine Engineering Equipment Manufacturer in India
A marine engineering equipment manufacturer in India required a corrosion-resistant, lightweight, and high-strength titanium alloy for offshore platform structural components. The material needed to withstand seawater exposure and high-salinity environments for at least 15 years, maintain structural stability under extreme loads, and support high-quality welding processes.
Our Solution
We provided Ti-6Al-4V titanium alloy, known for its low density, superior strength, and exceptional corrosion resistance. The solution included:
- Material selection: Ti-6Al-4V alloy met the client's requirements for lightweight design, durability, and seawater resistance.
- Surface treatment: Anodization was applied to enhance corrosion resistance by forming a protective layer.
- Processing support: Precision cutting and welding services ensured material stability during fabrication.
- Reliability testing: The alloy underwent salt spray and weld strength tests, with comprehensive technical reports provided.
Technical Specifications
- Material: Ti-6Al-4V
- Corrosion resistance: Over 5,000 hours of seawater immersion with no significant degradation
- Tensile strength: Above 850 MPa, maintaining structural integrity under extreme loads
- Processing compatibility: Supports laser welding and TIG welding
