My experimentation with Ti foil was short lived. The foil I got was very flimsy and not sturdy enough to substitute for the robust Al flashing that I had been using. I played with it for a while, but it never made it to field use. I don't recall where I was in my alcohol stove evolution at that time, but now I am using a cylinder of Al flashing that doubles as both the pot stand and wind screen. As such, the Ti foil would not be sturdy enough to support the pot. It is possible there is thicker grade Ti that might work, but I never pursued it as any weight savings would be negligible since my stand/screen is only a few inches tall and a few inches in diameter. Also since it directs heat through the heat exchanger of my Olicamp XTS pot, it doesn't get very hot and thus doesn't suffer from heat fatigue. The situation may be different with a design such as a Caldera Cone where the pot support/wind screen directs heat flow up the side of the pot. I considered that type of system but never made one. While it would allow me to use a lighter pot, it would be at the expense of a much larger and complicated support/screen. Having design that is easy to use (stores inside the pot, requires no assembly/disassembly) was an important goal of mine when developing my system.

Ti foil would work for blocking the wind when it is not supporting the pot, however I have come to the conclusion that the role of the wind screen is under-appreciated by many alcohol stove users, probably because it is called a "wind screen". I feel it serves a much more critical role of controlling oxygen intake and directing heat output, both of which are important design parameters if your goal is to optimize the efficiency and power of your alcohol stove system. I've seen lots of videos of people using flimsy Ti wind screens to block to the wind, but when placed rather haphazardly around the pot, I don't expect it is plays much role in controlling air and heat flow and giving optimal and predictable performance. But if that is not a design parameter that is of concern to you, then it doesn't really matter.

TITANIUM FOIL | Fushun Special Steel Manufacturer

TITANIUM FOIL

TITANIUM FOILS AND ALLOYS

 

Reliable titanium supplier known for outstanding quality

We Are A Metals Specialist For Both Small And Large Scale Projects

 

Titanium foils are the precision titanium strips. They are produced through both hot rolling and annealing processes.

 

The hot rolling technology enables the material to become increasingly thinner, achieving a thickness range of 0.01mm to 0.100mm and width range maximum 650mm.

 

These foils exhibit a bright surface and excellent performance, boasting stable characteristics and remarkable plasticity.

 

Rolling titanium this thin requires state-of-the-art equipment and significant experience in the industry, and we have exactly that. As an innovative leader in the production titanium foil products, we&#;re here to engineer each order to your specs.

 

Our Manufacturing Process is Unparalleled

In order to ensure quality titanium foil, there needs to be consistency in the material properties and manufacturing process. Tailored especially to your end use, We knows your precision titanium foil products need repeatable rolling, slitting, annealing, and specific finishing processes.

Titanium Foil Detection

We perform a visual inspection to check the surface quality and ensure no flaw, blackspots, and any other defects.

We also do chemical composition detection, making sure all chemical components meet demands.

Mechanical features testing, making sure all titanium foils have satisfying mechanical features before delivery.

 

There are hundreds of uses for titanium metal in applications ranging from E-beam shielding to drug delivery to aerospace surfaces and structures. Titanium (Ti) offers exceptional characteristics for high overall strength, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and workability. Lightweight and durable under harsh temperature and chemical conditions, titanium sheet and foil materials from us are available in a number of grades for various end-uses.

 

Customers rely on us as a thin-rolled titanium foil supplier. Ti is used in applications that demand high performance and consistent quality. These applications include fabrication of electron beam equipment for food sterilization, vulcanizing, and a variety of industrial uses; design and building of flight and aerospace vehicles; energy-related applications such as solar panels; speaker components; and medical device enclosures. Titanium&#;s corrosion resistance means that the material can be thinner for a given application in harsh environments compared to other materials, further reducing weight. Ti boasts the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metallic element. Titanium&#;s bio-compatibility, including non-allergenic characteristics and non-toxicity to living tissue, makes it the ideal material in many medical applications.

 

Titanium foils are used in bio-engineering research applications where body tissues, saliva and micro organisms are kept in the titanium foils due to their excellent bio-compatibility and inert nature with living things. Another common use for titanium as a thin foil is in shavers. The windscreen is the application where you most likely can find titanium foil as a non-corporate user. Titanium foil has also been used in making of the camera shutters, a most unseen and unknown device hidden inside a camera that allows light to pass for a short period of time, for the purpose of exposing film or an electronic sensor to light to make a photo. If you are engaging in making something out of titanium in the form of foil, just remember the titanium foil is about the same thickness as a sheet of paper. You can build wind shavers, screens, wind screen, camera shutters, or what ever you can imagine.
