Titan

About Titanium (Ti)

Symbol: Ti
Atomic number: 22
Atomic mass: 47.867
Element category: Transition metal
Titanium is a lustrous, silvery transition metal. It exhibits low density and shows high corrosion resistance against sea water, aqua regia and chlorine, among other agents.

Applications of Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Titanium and its alloys are used in aerospace, military, medical, jewellery, telecommunications and other sectors. Different grades exist. Grades 1 to 4 are pure titanium, while the remaining grades are alloys. Pure titanium is selected for its measured corrosion resistance, and alloys are chosen for their high strength-to-weight ratio.

In aerospace, military and medical fields, titanium plays an important role. Various titanium grades are available. Grades 1 to 4 comprise pure titanium; others are alloy systems. The pure form is employed for its corrosion resistance, and alloy forms for their quantified strength-to-weight performance.

Titanium is utilised in aerospace, military, medical, jewellery and telecommunications industries. There are different grades of titanium. Grades 1 to 4 denote pure titanium and the others denote alloys. Pure titanium is used because of its high corrosion resistance, while the alloys offer a measured strength-to-weight ratio.

Properties of Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Measured strength-to-weight ratio: Titanium exhibits a high tensile strength with low density. This combination makes it suitable for weight-sensitive structural applications.

Corrosion resistance: Titanium naturally forms an oxide layer that resists corrosion and prevents rust. It is applicable in maritime and chemically active environments.

Biocompatibility: Titanium is utilised in the medical field because it is biocompatible and remains stable when exposed to bodily fluids. It is implemented for implants, surgical instruments and medical devices.

High temperature performance: Titanium retains structural integrity at elevated temperatures. Consequently, it is used in aerospace applications and gas turbine systems.

Aesthetic appearance: Titanium offers a smooth metallic surface and resists discolouration. Its surface characteristics allow its use in jewellery, timepieces and high-quality consumer goods.
