Titanium Shell-Type Components

BYC Ti's Titanium Shell-Type Components redefine structural integrity in demanding applications, combining the unmatched properties of titanium alloys with advanced manufacturing to deliver lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and high-strength enclosures. Engineered for industries where environmental extremes and reliability are non-negotiable—from deep-sea exploration to aerospace propulsion—our titanium shells set new benchmarks for performance and durability.

Product Core Advantages

1. Titanium's Unrivaled Material Profile

Constructed from premium titanium alloys (Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-5Al-2.5Sn, etc.), our shells offer:

Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Immune to seawater, chlorides, and most aggressive chemicals, with service life 5-10x longer than stainless steel in marine environments.*
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio: 45% lighter than steel while maintaining yield strengths up to 850 MPa, ideal for weight-sensitive applications.
Thermal Stability: Operational integrity from -270°C to 500°C, ensuring performance in cryogenic or high-temperature systems.

2. Precision Manufacturing for Critical Performance

Structural Optimization: Finite Element Analysis (FEA)-validated designs for maximum load distribution, reducing stress concentrations by 40% compared to conventional shells.
Wall Thickness Control: Machined to ±0.05mm precision, enabling thin-wall designs without compromising pressure resistance (up to 1,000 bar for deep-sea applications).
Surface Finish: Electropolished to Ra ≤ 0.4μm, enhancing corrosion resistance and minimizing fluid friction in hydrodynamic applications.
