Titanium

Characteristics

Titanium is a light metal highly resistant to corrosion. Titanium is highly resistant to heat with a melting temperature as high as 1668 . Its melting point is higher than that of steel. Although heat conductivity of titanium is almost the same as that of stainless steel, its weight is almost half of stainless steel. Titanium is also non-toxic and non-allergenic, often used in piercing jewelry.

Outstanding Corrosion resistance

Titanium is immune to corrosive attack by saltwater or marine atmospheres. It also exhibits exceptional resistance to a broad range of:

  • Acids
  • Alkalis
  • Natural waters, fresh and salt
  • Corrosive gases
  • Reducing atmospheres
  • Passivation with inhibitors
  • Organic Media

Application:

Aerospace:

  • About 50% of titanium produced is used for aerospace parts.

Chemical plants:

  • Titanium is highly corrosion resistant. It is used in many types of chemical equipment.

Seawater usage:

  • Titanium is greatly used in nuclear and fossil power stations. It is, amongst other parts, used for heat exchangers; condensers, which cool the steam from turbines with seawater. Because titanium does not corrode, the wall thickness of the tube can be as thin as 0.5 mm. Usage of titanium in the chemical, nuclear and fossil plants makes up approximately a third.
