Titanium is characterized by its low weight, high strength and excellent corrosion resistance, making it the go-to material for aerospace engineering and biomedical components.
Titanium is a refractory metal, may be alloyed to similar strength as steel but with 40% less weight. As a result, the material is typically used for applications in the aerospace industry.
Thanks to its unique properties, titanium can easily be alloyed with other elements, for example, iron, aluminium, molybdenum, vanadium, etc. Alloyed with titanium usually have the same strength, corrosion resistance, and weight as pure titanium. However, with titanium alloys, you can enhance preferred properties by adding certain elements to the composition. Consequently, titanium alloys can be used in a greater variety of applications.
In addition to its low weight and high strength, titanium also has a titanium dioxide surface which gives it outstanding resistance to cavitation, erosion and all kinds of corrosion, making it an ideal choice for industrial applications in extreme environments.
