ABOUT TITANIUM
Titanium is durable, ultralight, and non-magnetic. Titanium is difficult to produce and very hard to machine.
Titanium is:
Ultralight--nearly 50% lighter than average steel.
Strong--strong as stainless steel and tough as chrome moly.
Non-magnetic--100% sure, because it does not contain iron.
Non-corrosive--extremely acid resistant
Excellent Corrosion Resistance
Titanium is immune to corrosive attack by salt water or marine atmospheres. It also exhibits exceptional resistance to a broad range of acids, alkalis, natural waters and industrial chemicals.
Superior Erosion Resistance
Titanium offers superior resistance to erosion, cavitation or impingement attack. Titanium is at least twenty times more erosion resistant than coppernickel alloys.
High Heat Transfer Efficiency
Under "in service" conditions, the heat transfer properties of titanium approximate those of admiralty brass and coppernickel. There are several reasons for this:
1.Titanium's higher strength permits thinner-walled equipment.
2.There appear to be unusual and beneficial characteristics in titanium's inherent oxide film.
3.The relative absence of corrosion leaves the surface bright and smooth for improved lamellar flow.
4.Titanium's excellent erosion-corrosion resistance permits significantly higher operating velocities.
Superior Strength-to-Weight Ratios
The combination of high strength and low density results in exceptional strength-to-weight ratios for titanium-based alloys. The ratios for titanium-based alloys are superior to almost all other metals.
