Titanium-carbon steel clad head Introduction
Compared to other metals, Titanium-carbon steel clad head is a lustrous and silver transition metal with low density and high corrosion resistance to sea water, aqua regia and chlorine, etc. Titanium is alloyed with aluminum, manganese, iron, molybdenum and other metals to increase strength, to withstand high temperatures, and to lighten the resultant alloy.
Advanced Refractory Metals is a leading supplier of Titanium-carbon steel clad head. We offer competitive pricing and great lead times on all our materials, and we're capable of supplying custom materials per any specs/drawings you provide us with.

Manufacturing Processes
Explosive Bonding
Explosive bonding is a highly effective method for joining titanium and carbon steel. In this process, a carefully prepared assembly of the two metals is placed in a specific configuration, and an explosive charge is detonated between them. The explosion generates an intense shockwave, which forces the metals to collide at high speeds, resulting in a strong metallurgical bond. Explosive bonding is especially useful for titanium-carbon steel clad heads used in environments that require high bond strength, such as offshore structures and chemical reactors.
Roll Bonding
Roll bonding is another technique used for producing titanium-carbon steel clad heads. The base material (carbon steel) and the cladding material (titanium) are passed through a set of rollers under high pressure. This cold-forming process ensures that the two metals fuse together, creating a solid bond between the layers. Roll bonding is ideal for applications that demand uniform bonding and is commonly employed in manufacturing pressure vessel components and heads for heat exchangers.
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP)
Hot Isostatic Pressing (HIP) involves subjecting the titanium-carbon steel assembly to high temperatures and pressure inside a sealed container. The materials are subjected to these conditions, which facilitates atomic diffusion, resulting in a diffusion bond that ensures high integrity and strength between the layers. HIP is typically used for critical applications where the bonding strength and reliability of the titanium-carbon steel clad head are paramount, such as in aerospace and power generation industries.
Key Benefits and Features
Corrosion Resistance
Titanium is known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, especially in environments exposed to seawater, acidic solutions, or chemicals. By applying a titanium cladding to the carbon steel, the clad head gains enhanced protection against corrosion, ensuring that the component remains durable and functional in harsh conditions, such as those encountered in the chemical, oil, and gas industries.
High Strength and Durability
The carbon steel base material provides significant mechanical strength, while the titanium cladding enhances the durability of the component without adding excessive weight. This combination makes titanium-carbon steel clad heads suitable for high-pressure applications, where structural integrity is critical, such as in pressure vessels and reactors.
Cost-Effective Performance
While titanium is a high-cost material, by using carbon steel as the base metal, manufacturers can create a more cost-effective solution without compromising performance. This combination of materials offers a favorable balance of cost and durability, making it an ideal choice for industries looking to reduce material costs while maintaining high performance.
Customizable and Versatile
Titanium-carbon steel clad heads can be tailored to meet specific industry requirements in terms of size, thickness, and surface treatments. This flexibility ensures that the component can be adapted to a wide variety of applications, including those in the oil and gas, chemical, and power generation sectors. Customization can also extend to the cladding thickness, allowing for further optimization of the product's performance.
Improved Heat Resistance
Titanium-carbon steel clad heads are well-suited for applications involving extreme temperatures. The titanium layer provides additional protection against oxidation and heat-induced damage, making them ideal for use in environments where heat and high-pressure conditions are present, such as in power plants and industrial reactors.
Longer Service Life
The combination of titanium's resistance to corrosion and the robust mechanical properties of carbon steel results in a longer service life for clad heads. This increased longevity reduces the need for frequent replacements and minimizes maintenance costs, which is especially beneficial in industries where downtime is costly.
