Titanium is an amazing material which has unique character that make it highly sought after in the production of lots of modern and innovative applications. It’s strong and light. The tensile strength of Ti is between 30,000 psi to 200,000 psi depending on the type of titanium. It is also has the character of low density; around 60% the density of iron, reducing load and strain of heavier metals while reducing the total weight of the objects it is used to manufacture. Titanium actually has the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element.
The melting point of Titanium is much higher than Stainless Steel. This, combined with its low weight and high strength, which is why Titanium and titanium alloys are used in airplanes, missiles and rockets where strength, low weight and resistance to high temperatures are important.
Titanium has excellent elasticity, exhibiting a Young’s modulus equivalent to approximately 50% of stainless steel which makes it desirable for certain spring applications.
It is also extremely desirable in medical manufacturing because titanium metal is one of the most biocompatible metals which exist, leading to its use in everything from artificial joints to cardiac valves and other surgical implantable devices.
As as the excellent performance on non-fading,corrosion resisting and color stable, titanium also be used to manufacturer fashion jewellery, such as ring,bracelet,pendant,necklace,earring,titanium rings,etc.
The thermal expansion rates of titanium and titanium alloys are generally equivalent to approximately 50% of stainless steel,which means that there is less dimensional change induced by heating the metal while comparing to Stainless or Aluminum. This, combined with its superconductive properties lends well to use in devices such as induction motors and semiconductor manufacturing.
