  1. The How-To Guide to Choosing Titanium Products

  2. Introduction Titanium is a light, silvery-white, hard metal, often used as an alloying agent with other metals, such as aluminum, iron, molybdenum, and manganese. It is known for its strength and corrosion resistance. It is ductile and is malleable when heated, insoluble in water, and soluble in concentrated acids.

  3. Titanium is composed of aluminum, iron, manganese, molybdenum, and additives. This gives it its strength and ability to withstand high temperatures. Titanium was first discovered in 1791 by amateur geologist Reverend William Gregor from Cornwall, England. By the 1930s, titanium became produced on a large scale through the efforts of William Kroll.

  4. Today, titanium’s popularity continues to grow. Titanium, is the seventh most abundant metal, as well the ninth most abundant element overall.

  6. Titanium Uses Titanium is mainly used for aircraft, armor plating, naval ships, spacecraft, and missiles. In addition, it can also be used for a wide range of diverse purposes, such as heat exchangers in desalination plants, firearms, toothpaste, paint, paper, and some plastics.

  7. In the medical field, titanium is used for hip balls and joint replacements, dental implants, surgical instruments, wheelchairs, and crutches. In addition, titanium is used for football helmet grills, tennis rackets, cricket helmets, bicycle frames, and even body piercings.

  8. Titanium Benefits Titanium is 30% stronger than steel, while being half of its weight. It is also twice as strong as aluminum, despite being twice as heavy. Titanium resists corrosion, forms as oxide wall against salt water, as well as being strong enough to withstand exposure to the elements. In addition, titanium is known for retaining its strength up to 1,000 degrees F. This makes it a great choice for the aviation, space exploration, medical equipment, and ship building industries.

  9. Titanium is also highly refractive and resistant to UV, making it the ideal choice for plastic coating, as it resists discoloration. In helicopters, titanium works very well for landing gear, hydraulic systems, and exhaust ducts. In addition, titanium is works well for a plane's structural components, wing components, door components, landing gear, and engine parts. Similarly, in automobiles, it works well for exhausts and in the intake valves.

  10. It also adds strength to graphite, making it a great choice for sports equipment, such as golf clubs and fishing rods. Finally, for individuals with allergies to metals or those who wear their jewelry in swimming pools, titanium offers the benefit of being hypoallergenic, durable, and lightweight.

  11. Types of Titanium Titanium comes in a variety of types, including plates, bars, and sheets. Titanium Plates – Titanium plates comes in a variety of forms, shapes, and sizes. Their thickness and inability to bend or shape makes them perfect for structural settings, including high-speed jets and moving parts of a plane, such as propellers.

  12. Titanium Bars – Titanium bars can be further divided into two categories, namely bars and round bars. They are great for transport, machining, and storage in the aerospace, agricultural, automotive, dental, medical, and food processing industries. Titanium Sheets–Titanium sheets are quite similar to titanium plates, but are more bendable and shapeable. This makes them perfect for automobiles or submarines. They also come in a variety of grades and thicknesses.

  13. Examples of Titanium Products Some examples of titanium products include Ti-6AL-4V, Ti-6AL-6V-2SN, and 6AL-2SN-4ZR-2MO (Ti 6242), which are all available in plates, bars, and sheets. Ti-6AL-4V – This is a type of titanium alloy also known as Ti64 or TC4. Ti-6AL-4V is known for its high resistance to corrosion and its high strength-to-weight ratio.

  14. Ti-6AL-4V consists of Vanadium (V), Aluminum (Al), Iron (Fe), Oxygen (O), Carbon (C), Nitrogen (N), Hydrogen (H), Yttrium (Y), and Titanium (Ti). It also has a relatively low thermal conductivity when held at room temperature. The plate is available in AL - 4V: AMS 4911, 6AL - 4V: AMS 4904, 6AL - 4V: MIL-T-9046, and6AL - 4V: DMS1592varieties.

  15. The sheet is available in 6AL - 4V: AMS 4911, 6AL - 4V: AMS 4904, 6AL - 4V: MIL-T-9046, and6AL - 4V: DMS1592 varieties. The bar is available in 6AL - 4V: AMS 4928, 6AL - 4V: AMS 6931, 6AL - 4V: AMS 4965, 6AL - 4V: MIL-T- 9047, 6AL - 4V: BMS 7-269, DMS 1583, and ASTM B-348 varieties.

  16. Ti-6AL-6V-2SN – This is another type of titanium alloy designed primarily for high temperature uses. It consists of Vanadium (V), Aluminum (Al), Tin (Sn), and Titanium (Ti). The plate is available in MS 4918 and MIL-T-9046varieties. The sheet is available in AMS 4918 and MIL-T-9046varieties. The bar is available in AMS 4978, AMS 4979, MIL-T-9047, and DMS 1887varieties.

  17. 6AL-2SN-4ZR-2MO (Ti 6242) – This type of titanium alloy is great for welding and performs well under high-stress conditions. It is composed of Molybdenum (Mo), Aluminum (Al), Zirconium (Zr), Tin (Sn), and Titanium (Ti). The plate is available in AMS 4919, DMS 2275, and MIL-T-9046varieties. The sheet is available in AMS 4919, DMS 2275, and MIL-T-9046varieties. Finally, the bar is available in AMS 4975, AMS 4976, AMS 6905, and MIL-T-9047varieties.

  18. Interestingly, titanium alloy production, such as the Ti-6AL-4V, Ti-6AL-6V-2SN, and Ti-6AL-2SN-4ZR-2MO, began in the 1950s, in particular with Watertown Arsenal. By 1953, over two million pounds were being produced annually.

  19. Cost of Titanium The cost of titanium varies. In general, titanium is considered a more expensive type of metal because it is rare. It is a bit more expensive than other metals, especially rarer grades, such as CP Grade 4 or CP Grade 7.In addition, since it is typically only found bonded with other elements, its processing is more expensive. A typical cost is often $661 USD per 100 grams. Despite this cost, the various benefits of titanium makes it a worthwhile investment.

  20. Other Types of Products Available In addition to titanium products, many titanium suppliers and distributors also offer stainless steel, alloy steel, nickel, and aluminum as well. Do not hesitate to contact a local titanium supplier and distributor for all of one’s varied titanium needs.
