Quick facts about Titanium
- Low density and high strength
- Exceptional corrosion resistance
- Excellent elevated temperature properties
- Excellent Bearing to cryogenic property
- Essentially non-magnetic
- Nontoxic, non-allergenic and fully bio compatible
- Good thermal properties
- Low modulus of elasticity
- Low thermal expansion coefficient
- High melting point
- Excellent aesthetic qualities
- Environmentally sound
The density of titanium is only 56 percent that of steel, and its corrosion resistance compares well with that of platinum.
Of all the elements in the earth's crust, titanium is the ninth most plentiful.
Titanium has a high melting point. This melting point is approximately 400°F (220°C) above the melting point of steel and approximately 2000°F (1100°C) above that of aluminium.
