Titanium alloy bike tubes Gr9

      Titanium alloy bike tubes Gr9 ASTM B338 size: OD25.4mm is a commonly used material in the bicycle industry due to its high strength, low density and excellent corrosion resistance. In order to ensure a high yield rate during bending, the proper heat treatment process must be applied.

     The recommended heat treatment process for Gr9 titanium alloy bike tubes is annealing. Annealing involves heating the material to a specific temperature and holding it there for a period of time. It helps to eliminate stress and improve ductility, thus making it easier to bend without cracking or breaking.

     The annealing process should be done in a controlled atmosphere to prevent contamination of the material. The recommended temperature for annealing Gr9 titanium alloy bike tubes is between 700°C and 800°C, and the holding time is usually 1 to 2 hours. After annealing, the tubes should be allowed to cool slowly in the furnace or covered with insulation material to prevent rapid cooling, which can cause warping or distortion.

     Proper heat treatment of Gr9 titanium alloy bike tubes is essential for ensuring a high yield rate during bending. By following the recommended annealing process, you can achieve excellent results and produce high-quality products.
