Ac 2.3 Explain the method of making titanium alloy and investigate how the composition and structure of metal alloys, polymers and poly-matrix composites influence the properties of the parent material. 1. Extraction of Titanium Titanium is extracted from its ore rutile-tio2. It is first converted into titanium (5) chlorine, which is then reduced to titanium using either magnesium or sodium. The ore rutile is heated with chlorine and coke at a temperature of about 1000˚c. 2. Melting of Titanium https://www.google.co.in/url?sa=i&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=images&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.antares.com.ua%2FFacilities.html&psig=AFQjCNE2ss2kFx9U44YqGk5y7APAoV3V_w&ust=1446180661727823 The melting point of titanium is 1650* or 3000*F. …show more content…

The plasma torch or electron beam is used as the heat source. It is stored in some solid form so that we can use that when required. …show more content…

 More hardened.  Less flexibility.  Changes in colour.  Heat resistant. Investigating how the composition and the structure affect the parent material of polymers: We are using Plastics widely everywhere and so many types of plastics we have. The additives change the structure and the composition of the polymer. Plastic is a polymer we use plastics everywhere soft plastic is used as covers and hard plastic is used as tables in our daily life without plastics we can’t live. Additives are needed for plastics because additives make plastics safer, tougher, colourful and cleaner plastics can be made. They reduce manufacturing cost will be reduced and the product lives longer. Fibres are normally used in order to increase the stiffness and the strength of the plastic. Carbon and glass are the most commonly used fibres. Electrostatic Induction is used for the economical purpose. It is applied with polyurethane paints to consumer goods. Colorants Used to incorporate colour to the plastic products. Antimicrobials are used to keep a control over the forming of bacteria, algae and fungi on the plastic surface. Certain chemicals added to the plastic so that its tendency to burn is eliminated or
