What is Heat Treatment Fixtures & Racks?

🔥 Heat Treatment Fixtures & Racks represents a complete system of precision titanium components engineered for General Industrial applications. Open grid/weldment construction, stackable trays, locating pins, threaded studs for part suspension The system integrates 0 distinct component types manufactured through 3 specialized processes.

Engineering & Design Principles

Material: Grade 2 (CP-Ti) is cost-effective for fixtures operating below 300C. Grade 5 for higher temperature (up to 400C) and higher load applications.

Form: Plate/sheet with welded construction is most economical for custom fixture fabrication. Bar for pins and studs.

Standards & Material Specifications

Standards: ASTM B265 Grade 2 plate, stress-relieved, welded per AWS D1.6

1 Part Feature Analysis

ASME B16.5 blind flanges up to 24-inch, DIN 934 hex nuts M6-M30, M16-M24 fully threaded stud bolts up to 200mm, DIN 125 flat washers, serrated external tooth lock washers, exhaust stack rain cap flapper valves, custom slip-on flange collars

  • ⚠️ Thread galling of Ti nuts on Ti studs requiring anti-seize compounds
  • ⚠️ Washer cupping under high torque leading to preload relaxation
  • ⚠️ Galvanic corrosion at Ti-to-steel flange interfaces
  • ⚠️ Stud bolt stress-corrosion cracking from cut threads in chemical environments
  • ⚠️ Rain cap flapper hinge fatigue from continuous wind/gas cycling

2 Material Selection Rationale

Grade 2 CP-Ti — Industrial pure Ti, general corrosion resistance

Grade 2 CP-Ti for blind flanges, slip-on collars, and rain caps requiring formability and weldability. Grade 3 for hex nuts — optimal ductility/yield balance prevents thread galling. Grade 4 for flat washers and spring lock washers needing high surface hardness. Grade 5 for high-tensile stud bolts. Beta-C (Ti-15V-3Cr-3Sn-3Al) for serrated lock washers requiring massive spring-back elasticity.

3 Form Selection Rationale

Round Bar / Rod — for turning, fasteners

Plate cutting for flanges and rain caps. Cold nut forming + precision tapping for hex nuts. Thread rolling from solution-treated rod stock for stud bolts. Precision stamping + tumble deburring for washers. Punch press stamping + vacuum hardening for serrated lock washers.

4 Manufacturing Process & Services

Core Processes:

Plate laser cutting + CNC drilling of flange bolt holesCold heading of hex nuts + CNC tappingThread rolling of stud bolts from STA rod stockPrecision stamping + vibratory deburring of flat/lock washersSheet metal stamp-bending + spot TIG welding of rain cap flappers

Toll Processing Services:

PMI verification of all materialHydrostatic pressure testing of flanged assembliesDimensional inspection per ASME B16.5 / DIN standardsHardness testing (HRB/HRC) of washersSalt spray corrosion testing (ASTM B117)

Process Pitfalls:

  • ⚠️ Cut threads on stud bolts create stress-corrosion crack initiation sites — rolled threads mandatory for chemical service
  • ⚠️ Serrated lock washer teeth must be induction-hardened to HRC 45+ to bite into Grade 5 flange faces
  • ⚠️ Rain cap flapper hinge pin must be Ti Grade 5 for wear resistance — Grade 2 wears through in <1 year of continuous cycling

ASTM B381 Grade 2 (flanges) / ASTM B348 Grade 3 (nuts) / Grade 5 (studs) per ASME B16.5, 100% PMI + dimensional inspected, MTC traceable

Manufacturing Process Flow

1
Laser / plasma cutting of plate

Fiber laser cutting of titanium uses a focused 1 µm wavelength beam to melt and expel material through a coaxial assist gas jet. The narrow (0.1–0.3 m

2
Stress relief annealing

Vacuum heat treatment of titanium in a controlled environment prevents oxygen/nitrogen pickup that causes alpha-case embrittlement. Programmable tempe

3
TIG welding of assemblies

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW/TIG) for titanium uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode with argon shielding at the torch face, trailing shield, and
