Titanium products character and application

Due to its unique physical and chemical properties, titanium and its alloy products currently have important applications in many fields around the world. The following are the main features and uses of titanium products:

The core features of titanium:
1. High strength, low density (the density is only 60% of steel, but the strength is close to or more than steel, which is an ideal material for lightweight design.)
2. Excellent corrosion resistance: a dense oxide film (TiO₂) is formed on the surface, which is resistant to seawater, chlorine, acid and alkali corrosion, especially in the marine environment.
3. Biocompatible: non-toxic, non-magnetic, compatible with human tissues, widely used in medical implants.
4. High and low temperature resistance (wide operating temperature range, -253°C to 600°C), suitable for aerospace ultra-low temperature fuel tank or high temperature engine parts.
5. Non-magnetic, anti-fatigue.
Main application:
1. Aerospace (aircraft structural parts, landing gear, fuselage frames, engine compressor blades, rocket shells, etc.)
2. Medical health (artificial bones, heart stents, surgical instruments).
3. Chemical and energy (heat exchangers, reactors, condenser tubes for nuclear power plants).
4. Marine engineering (submarine hulls, desalination devices, deep-sea probes).
5. Consumer goods and sports equipment (high-end spectacle frames, golf clubs, bicycle frames).
6. Automotive industry (engine connecting rods, exhaust systems, racing parts).
7. Emerging fields (humanoid robots, 3D printing, 3C parts, hydrogen energy).
Common titanium product forms: plates/rods/tubes (used for industrial equipment structural parts), wires (medical sutures or welding materials, powders (3D printing), plating (surface anti-corrosion treatment of other materials).
Titanium's "all-function" character make it an irreplaceable material for high-end industrial and high-tech fields, and the range of applications will continue to expand in the future.
