FAQ

1. What is Titanium and what is its application?

Titanium is an element with the symbol Ti and an atomic number of twenty-two. Since it was discovered by the British mineralogist William Gregor in 1791, the lustrous silver metal has been widely used in different industries and you can find it in many areas:

• Titanium in sports: bicycles, golf clubs, lacrosse sticks, baseball bats, motorcycle parts, race car engine components, etc.
• Titanium in industry and aerospace: jet engines, aircraft frames, automotive components, marine, shipbuilding, heat exchangers, piping systems, chemical processing equipment, etc.
• Titanium in the medical and food industry: pacemakers, heart valves, artificial hips & knees, wheelchairs, dental implants, spinal reconstruction, maxillofacial reconstruction, pharmaceutical and food processing equipment, etc.
• Titanium in other fields: watches, jewelry, eyeglass frames, metal matrix composites, etc.

2. Why is Titanium used so widely?

Compared to other metals, Titanium has numerous unique chemical and physical properties, which have made it an irreplaceable material for many applications.

• Superior strength-to-weight ratios:
  The unalloyed Titanium has a strength comparable to those of some steels but is much lighter. In addition, Titanium has excellent resistance to corrosion, cracks, and fatigue. Thanks to these characteristics, the metal has become an indispensable material in aerospace (jet engines, missiles, and spacecraft), military, sporting goods, automotive, and other applications.
• Superior corrosion resistance:
  This property has made Titanium widely used in marine, industrial processes (desalination plants, chemicals, and petro-chemicals), and other applications.
• Biocompatibility:
  Titanium has good biocompatible ability and is widely applied in medical and food industries (orthopedic implants, medical prostheses, dental and endodontic instruments, and dental implants, etc.).
