Titanium clad copper rod for electroplating

Titanium clad copper rod

Titanium clad copper rod is a type of composite material made by bonding a layer of copper to a layer of titanium using a high temperature and high-pressure process. The resulting material combines the good electrical conductivity of copper with the excellent corrosion resistance.

Titanium clad copper rod is commonly used in industries where high performance and durability are required, such as electroplating, electrical grounding, and chemical processing.

Titanium clad copper rod for electroplating is supported by a titanium clad copper rod, which has three functions: first, it supports the anode; Second, conducting electricity; The third is corrosion resistance. In order to meet these requirements, the corrosion resistance of titanium and the conductivity of copper are used to connect the two. The titanium copper composite ingot is subjected to strong pressure in the extrusion process. The interface between the two metals forms a metallurgical connection. The wavy interface is the best way to connect the two metals. Then the contact reliability of the titanium copper composite rod is improved. Its resistivity is low, its conductive function is good, and its corrosion resistance is good.

Titanium clad copper rod is widely used in Hydrometallurgy and electroplating industry, it combines high corrosion resistance and good conductivity. At present, the connection between titanium plate and cathode conductive copper is mainly connected by lug or fastening. Join 2 methods, as shown below:

Process of titanium clad copper rod

The manufacturing process of titanium clad copper rod involves the following steps:

1. Production of titanium copper composite ingot: The ingot is produced by placing a layer of high-quality titanium and a layer of copper together and bonding them under high pressure and temperature. The thickness of the copper layer can vary based on the application.
2. Extrusion: The composite ingot is then heated and pressed through a die to form the desired shape and size of the rod. During the extrusion process, the two metals are bonded together metallurgically, forming a wavy interface that maximizes the contact area between the two metals.
3. Drawing: The extruded rod is then drawn through a series of dies to reduce its diameter and improve its surface finish. The number of drawing passes depends on the desired final diameter and surface quality.
4. Annealing: After the drawing process, the titanium clad copper rod is annealed to remove any residual stresses and improve its mechanical properties.
5. Surface treatment: The rod may be polished to enhance its corrosion resistance and surface finish, depending on the application.
6. Cutting and packaging: The final step involves cutting the rod to the desired length and packaging it for shipment to the customer.

Overall, the titanium clad copper rod manufacturing process involves a combination of metallurgical bonding, mechanical processing, and surface treatment to produce a high-quality product with excellent electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance.
