Description
Overview
Titanium, a lustrous and durable metal, is extracted from mineral ores such as ilmenite or rutile through complex processes like the Kroll method, ensuring high purity for a wide range of industrial applications. Renowned for its exceptional strength, outstanding corrosion resistance, and unique biocompatibility, titanium is a preferred material in demanding sectors. It is processed into various forms, including ingots, powder, or wire, to meet diverse manufacturing needs, such as forging aerospace components, producing medical implants, or creating chemical processing equipment. Its lightweight nature and ability to withstand harsh environments make it ideal for high-performance uses, while titanium’s recyclability and long lifespan contribute to sustainable practices in advanced technology and healthcare industries.
Properties
- Composition: Typically 99.2% or higher pure titanium (commercial grade).
- Density: 4.51 g/cm³ (relatively low for a metal).
- Melting Point: 1,668°C (3,034°F).
- Color: Silvery-gray, metallic, and lustrous.
- Malleability: Moderately malleable when heated, less so at room temperature.
- Ductility: Moderately ductile, can be drawn into wires with processing.
- Electrical Conductivity: Poor conductor, resistivity ~42 μΩ·cm at 20°C.
- Thermal Conductivity: Low, ~21.9 W/(m·K) at 20°C.
- Corrosion Resistance: Excellent, forms a stable oxide layer, highly resistant to acids and seawater.
Applications
- Aircraft frames
- Medical implants
- Chemical processing equipment
- Sporting goods
