INTRODUCTION

Titanium

At a specific gravity of 4.51 it is less than half the weight of steel while its specific strength is higher. It is used in structural members and corrosion-resistant parts where weight has to come down.

WHY TITANIUM

A structural material that is light and strong

01

Half the weight of steel at a higher specific strength

At 4.51 g/cm³ it delivers the same strength far more lightly. It is the default choice for aerospace and moving-part structural members.

02

It does not corrode in seawater or chlorides

The surface oxide film heals itself, giving long service life in marine and chemical environments.

03

It is harmless to the body

Its high biocompatibility makes it a material for medical implants and device parts.
