Titanium
Since the introduction of titanium and titanium alloys in the early 1950s, these materials have in a relatively short time become backbone materials for the aerospace, energy, and chemical industries. The combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance makes titanium the best material choice for many critical applications. Today, titanium alloys are used for demanding applications such as static and rotating gas turbine engine components. Some of the most critical and highly-stressed civilian and military airframe parts are made of these alloys.
The use of titanium has expanded in recent years to include applications in nuclear power plants, food processing plants, oil refinery heat exchangers, marine components and medical protheses. The high cost of titanium alloy components may limit their use to applications for which lower-cost alloys, such as aluminium and stainless steels. The relatively high cost is often the result of the intristic raw material cost of metal, fabricating costs and the metal removal costs incurred in obtaining the desired final shape.
Pure titanium wrought products, which have minimum titanium contents ranging from about 98,635 to 99,5 wt%, are used primarily for corrosion resistance. Titanium products are also useful for fabrication but have relatively low strength in service.
Titanium has the following advantages:
♦ Resistance to erosion and erosion-corrosion
♦ Very thin, conductive oxide surface film
♦ Hard, smooth surface that limits adhesion of foreign materials
♦ Surface promotes dropwise condensation
Applications
Ti6Al4V is typically used for:
♦ Direct Manufacturing of parts and prototypes for racing
and aerospace industry
♦ Biomechanical applications, such as implants and prosthesis
♦ Marine applications
♦ Chemical industry
♦ Gas turbines
