Benefits of Titanium Sheets

Benefits of Titanium Sheets
Titanium has been used for different applications in various industries. In the mid of 20th century the use of titanium and its alloy was limited, but nowadays it is being used widely for different purpose. As there are various metals which can be used to make sheets but when it comes to the strength, then titanium is the only metal which mostly preferable. Yet these sheets are very strong and durable and have light weight and that's why used for various purposes. However its uses increase even more when it's alloyed is mixed with other substances for special tasks like iron, aluminium, manganese, molybdenum and steel etc.
Generally this metal is used in aerospace industry because of its heat resistant and durability feature. Like other metals such as silver, gold, copper, titanium is not found in earth's crust and specially manufactured and engineered by the complex process. This is the reason why this metal was not widely used, but as now technology gets advanced, it is widely used for several purposes. Titanium is classified into different categories according to their usage and properties as well. If you compare it with steel it is 30% stronger than steel but in weight it is just half around and this makes it perfect materials used for the manufacturing of aircrafts, boats and other vehicles like sports cars and bikes.

Titanium sheets are widely used for making airplane wings because of its resistance to high temperature whereas for making air frames, turbine discs and blades, resilient material is used. In addition these are also suitable for producing watercrafts, submarines, and ships that require security and protection depends on the functions and speed. Titanium durability and strength allows it to stand against the high pressure of outer space and the corrosion that occurs in outer atmosphere is prevented by its element. And when it is alloyed with other metals, its durability improves like when it is alloyed with steel, it reduces the properties of steel and improves its own. It has great level of capacity deterioration and therefore different forms of titanium such as sheets, bars, pipes, alloy, rods, and fasteners etc.

Perhaps the metal is so impressive and plays a significant role in airspace industry. This metal is categorized in grades and grade 5 titanium is formed by an alloy of vanadium, aluminium and titanium and in comparison to grade 2, it has more strength and durable. Aluminium and titanium both has same weight but as titanium is much stronger than aluminium, it is widely used over it.

Industries can use titanium sheet in various forms and can give it any shape they want. As these sheets are produced on large scale, it safety and effectiveness depends on the quality and production level.
