High-Performance and Low-Cost Product
The essence of this structure lies in the firm combination of the three layers through metallurgical methods (such as explosive cladding and rolling cladding), achieving a performance of "1 + 1 + 1 > 3".
Provides excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.
- Resists seawater, acidic environments, and chloride ion corrosion
- Low density reduces overall weight
- Aesthetically pleasing surface finish
Offers superior electrical and thermal conductivity; serves as a functional transition and buffer layer.
- Electrical/thermal bridge: Acts as the primary channel for current or heat in high-conductivity scenarios
- Buffer and bonding layer: Copper has better compatibility with both titanium and steel, effectively alleviating thermal stress, enhancing bonding strength, and improving production feasibility
Provides main structural strength, rigidity, and toughness; significantly reduces costs.
- High mechanical strength and good processability (welding, machining)
- Cost-effective base material
Summary of Comprehensive Performance
- "External corrosion resistance + medium-high conductivity + internal high strength": The surface is corrosion-resistant, the middle layer is highly efficient for electrical conduction and heat transfer, and the inner layer is strong and capable of bearing loads.
- Excellent electrochemical compatibility: In certain applications (such as cathodic protection), the potential sequence positions of titanium and copper can be carefully designed to achieve specific functions.
- Good thermal expansion matching: Through the transition of the copper layer, the stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion and contraction between the titanium layer and the steel layer is reduced.
- High cost performance: While ensuring high performance on the surface, using inexpensive steel as the base material is much less costly than using all-titanium or thick copper materials.
Main Purposes and Application Fields
Ti/Cu/Steel clad material is always aimed at meeting extreme or special multi-functional requirements, mainly applied in:
Special electrolytic electrodes and anode baskets used in the electrolysis of corrosive media (such as chlorine-containing environments). The titanium layer resists corrosion, the copper layer ensures uniform current distribution, and the steel layer serves as a framework. Also used as conductive structural components in highly corrosive environments.
Hybrid grounding and lightning protection systems for ships — the titanium layer resists seawater corrosion, the copper layer provides a low-resistance grounding path, and the steel layer offers structural support. Also used in cathodic protection systems as auxiliary anodes or special connectors requiring both conductivity and corrosion resistance.
Integrated conductive/structural components for key parts of nuclear power plants, including control rod drive mechanisms and measurement instrument penetration assemblies. Titanium resists high-temperature and high-pressure water in the primary circuit; copper ensures precise, low-loss signal or current transmission; steel withstands mechanical loads and is welded to the main structure.
Special parts requiring lightweight, high strength, high conductivity, and resistance to environmental corrosion — including special grounding, electromagnetic shielding, or conductive structural units in spacecraft or high-performance aircraft. The copper layer provides electromagnetic pulse protection capability.
Vacuum chambers or beam components in particle accelerators and synchrotron radiation sources. The titanium layer facilitates achieving ultra-high vacuum (low outgassing rate), the copper layer is used for cooling or transmitting high-frequency currents, and the steel layer provides the main structure. The copper layer also effectively dissipates internal heat.
