Seamless titanium tubing for Airbus
and Liebherr
Fine Tubes is currently producing
seamless Grade 9 and Grade 5 titanium
tubing for Airbus and Liebherr. The
company claims to be one of the few
suppliers with the capability to produce
products of this type.
The tubing will be used for the high
pressure hydraulic systems required
for the Airbus A380 and for the high
lift transmission systems designed and
produced by Liebherr for the A350
XWB, due to go into service in 2014.
The density of titanium is about 60 per
cent of that of steel- or nickel-based
alloys, giving weight savings even though
its tensile strength is greater than that
of austenitic or ferritic stainless steels.
Highly corrosion resistant, titanium also
exceeds the resistance of stainless steels
in most environments, is non-magnetic
and has good heat transfer properties,
with a melting point higher than steel
alloys. Fine Tubes states that seamless
tubes are typically superior to welded
products in terms of resistance to high
pressures and fatigue, and the company
uses multiple combinations of different
processes, including cold reductions and
heat treatments, to manufacture to the
specifications demanded by customers
such as Airbus and Liebherr. Paul Mallett,
Fine Tubes business development
manager aerospace, commented, “The
advantages that titanium offers in terms
of weight saving and strength make it
an ideal material for high performance
aircraft applications.”
