Titanium

Titanium Material

Titanium is basically a white metal. Titanium is very reactive and due to this, it is often employed for alloying and deoxidizing of other metals. As compared to silicon or manganese, Titanium is a more powerful deoxidizer of steel. Compared to steel, Titanium is 40 lighter and 60% heavier than aluminum. This perfect combination of high strength alog with low weight makes Titanium a popular structural metal. Titanium also has excellent corrosion resistance.Titanium along with its alloys provide a remarkable resistance to general localised attack under most severe oxidizing, neutral and inhibited reducing conditions.

Coming to Titanium 1&2 there are primarily 5 grades of what is called as commercially pure or unalloyed titanium. These grades are given by ASTM. Grades range from 1 through 4, and 7. Each grade displays a different amount of impurity content. Titanium 1 is purest. Titanium 1 has a tensile strength of 172 Mpa.
