        Grinding treatment is not limited to repairing surface defects, and according to actual needs, full surface grinding can also be carried out. For some special titanium alloy materials, such as those that are prone to strong aging during alkali washing or hydrogen absorption during acid washing, grinding treatment has become an ideal alternative solution. It can effectively avoid the problems that may occur during these chemical treatment processes and achieve the desired surface treatment effect.
       In addition, sand belt grinding has been widely used in the surface treatment of titanium and titanium alloy finished pipes, rods, and plates. By using sand belt grinding, small defects on the surface of these finished products can be further removed, significantly improving the smoothness of the surface and meeting higher standards of appearance and quality requirements.
       A significant advantage of grinding treatment is that it does not affect the chemical composition of the processed material, and the residual stress of the plate is also kept at a low level. This is due to the precise control during the grinding process and the fine operation of the grinding tool. In addition, with the continuous improvement of the automation level of grinding equipment, the accuracy and efficiency of grinding processing have also been significantly improved.

     However, grinding treatment is not without challenges. On the one hand, the cost of grinding is relatively high, which to some extent limits its widespread application. On the other hand, there are certain requirements for the flatness of the processed material to ensure the smooth progress of the grinding process and the final processing effect. In addition, the titanium dust generated during the sanding process is flammable, so strict safety measures need to be taken to ensure the safety of operators.
      Nevertheless, grinding treatment still holds an irreplaceable position in the field of surface treatment of titanium and titanium alloys. It has become an indispensable part of titanium metal processing due to its unique advantages and wide application prospects.
