Key Role of Oxygen, Nitrogen and Hydrogen Analyzers in Titanium Alloy Production

Titanium alloys are an important class of structural materials with excellent corrosion resistance, high strength and low density, and have a wide range of applications in aerospace, shipbuilding, chemical and medical equipment. However, the preparation of titanium alloys requires precise control of their chemical composition, especially the oxygen and nitrogen content, to ensure that their properties meet design requirements. Oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen analyzers play a vital role in the production of titanium alloys.

Technical Principle

Hydrogen measurement by infrared absorption method: When hydrogen is measured by infrared absorption method, the content of three elements of oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen can be measured by an ONH-2018 oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen analyzer at the same time. The sample after weighing is placed in a graphite crucible, and the helium gas (argon can be used to save costs when nitrogen is not measured) is heated and melted by high temperature in the gas stream. The oxygen in the sample reacts with the carbon in the graphite crucible to produce carbon monoxide (CO), and the nitrogen and hydrogen in the sample escape in the form of nitrogen and hydrogen respectively. These mixed gases are sent by the carrier gas to the high-temperature reformer, where carbon monoxide (CO) is converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) and H2 is converted into H2O, and nitrogen does not react. The mixture of gases after the reformer is sent to the CO2 infrared detection tank and the H2O infrared detection tank. According to the detected carbon dioxide (CO2) and H2O content, the oxygen and hydrogen content in the original sample can be calculated. Subsequently, after carbon dioxide (CO2) and water in the mixture detected by infrared are adsorbed, the remaining nitrogen and helium mixture is detected through the thermal conductivity detection tank. Nitrogen was separated and entered the thermal conductivity tank to detect nitrogen content. The test results are given directly by computer data processing.
