Titanium applications

Relevance

Presently, titanium is rather expensive and is mainly used in the military industry where priority is given to the technical characteristics rather than to the price. However, the unique properties of titanium make it possible to use it for civil purposes as well. In perspective, decrease in prime cost of titanium and increase in its production will provide wider application of this metal in various industries.

Aviation applications

High strength at elevated temperatures and insignificant specific weight of titanium alloys and titanium makes it a very valuable material practically without any alternative for aircrafts. In aircraft construction and aircraft engine production, it increasingly replaces stainless steel and aluminum. In jet engine production, titanium is mostly used for turbine disks, compressor blades and a variety of other stamped parts. titanium displaced thermally treated alloyed steel from this sector. By saving on engine and hull weight, it makes it possible to lighten aircraft by 10%. This metal is used especially in production of F-100 and F-86 jet fighters for landing gear blades, hydraulic system piping, exhaust manifolds and nozzles, spars, flaps, hinged struts, etc. Titanium is also used in the production of propeller blades, shell boxes and armor plates.

Naval applications

The corrosion resistance of this metal against steam, flue gases, seawater , etc. is of particular importance in shipbuilding. High specific strength is also of particular importance here. Low titanium specific weight combined with its high corrosion resistance increases ship driving range and maneuverability, and lowers repair and maintenance costs.

Other industries

Titanium is used in the petroleum, food, electrical and chemical industries, as well as in medicine and in the manufacture of surgical instruments. A wide variety of industries use titanium fasteners in a variety of shapes. In orthopedics, titanium has proven to be a much better material than vitallium and stainless steel. Titanium screws and plates for fixing bones are very strong, light and biologically inert for the body. They do not cause allergies in humans like nickel.
