Why is Titanium used so widely?
- Compared to other metals, Titanium has numerous unique chemical and physical properties, which have made it an irreplaceable material for many applications. Superior strength-to-weight ratios: The unalloyed Titanium has a strength comparable to those of some steels but is much lighter. In addition, Titanium has excellent resistance to corrosion, crack and fatigue. Thanks to these characteristics, the metal has become an indispensable material in aerospace (jet engines, missiles, and spacecrafts), military, sporting goods, automotive and other applications. Superior corrosion resistance: This property has made Titanium widely used in marine, industrial processes (desalination plants, chemicals and petro-chemicals) and other applications. Biocompatibility: Titanium has good biocompatible ability and is widely applied in medical and food industries (orthopedic implants, medical prostheses, dental and endodontic instruments and dental implants, etc.).
