Titanium is a silvery white, common but difficult to extract light metal.
Titanium in its pure form is easy to deform, malleable, relatively thermally
stable and has excellent electrical conductivity. Its mechanical strength and
low thermal expansion are important characteristics. Titanium is relatively
resistant to air corrosion at room temperature, and its corrosion resistance is
comparable to that of precious metals.
High purity titanium is used as a getter metal in vacuum technology to remove
the final gas residue because it reacts with a small amount of oxygen. Corrosion
resistant pure titanium is used in the construction of chemical plants. Titanium
alloy has high strength, low weight and excellent corrosion resistance, which is
an excellent building material for shipbuilding and aerospace industry. Titanium
is also an important alloy element in special steel.
The element with sequence number 22 has several unique attributes. Its density
is only 4.50 g / cm3, very light, but it is one of the toughest and most elastic
metals in the world. Titanium parts are not affected by turbulence and impact.
In addition, the expansion is very low when heated. Although pure titanium has a
high melting point (1727 ° C), it is not recommended to be used in high
temperature applications, because some changes in physical properties occur
between 400-600 ° C, and titanium begins to react with the environment, which
may lead to inflammation or even explosion.
Titanium hardens almost every material
On the other hand, the view of titanium containing alloys is completely
different. Even the smallest amount of titanium ensures a decisive improvement
in material strength. One example is microalloying of steel. The mass fraction
of titanium accounts for 0.01-0.1% of the total mass fraction, which endows the
steel with high toughness, strength and ductility, i.e. non fracture
deformability.
Although the price is relatively high, titanium alloy is the first choice for a
wide range of applications, from outdoor sports goods such as golf clubs to
military titanium protective vests.
We don't just supply you with titanium. In E. Wagener, you can determine the
purity of the transported materials. We provide you with 90, 95 or even more
than 99 pure titanium. It can also be directly processed into blocks, wires,
foils, sheets or bars.
