Industrial Use of Titanium
Titanium is abbreviated by the symbol Ti and is chemical element with the atomic number 22. The element is found in almost all living things, water bodies, soil and rocks. Physically it has lustrous silvery grey white metallic appearance and chemically it has highly resistance to corrosion as stains and tarnish that makes it a highly demandable product for use in various kinds of industries. Because of its excellent resistant feature and light in weight in comparison to other metals, this element is used in several industries including aerospace, agriculture, medical, consumer and architectural applications.Element is widely used for making propeller shafts and rigging due to its high corrosion resistance with sea water. For corrosion resistance, it is also used in the power generation, chemical and pulp/paper industry and marine industry. Many industrial applications use chemicals like hydro chlorite, chlorine dioxide, chlorates and chlorites for corrosion, however corrosion resistance is critical, titanium which is fully resistant is best to use. In addition the element is excellent erosion resistant and has higher heat efficiency with a superior light weight ratio to other metals.
Mainly used in galvanizing, electroplating, the vacuum coating decoration and the function coating industry and other coating
It is well known element for its ability to alloy with other metals that improves its durability, strength and lightness. Because of its bio compatibility, it is also used in medical applications such as surgical implants of sockets and hip ball that can stays for 20 years. And for aircraft industry, titanium 6AL-4V alloy is used that accounts 50% of the alloys like aluminium and vanadium and other metals.
Today, titanium is popularly used in jewelry making industry because of its exposure to other metals like silver and gold and corrosion resistant from body oils.
