Chemistry Uses and importance of Titanium (Ti) Name: Lai Tsoi Yin (6) Ng Tsz Lam (14) Siu Long Ying (18) Tam Ka Yee (19) Class: S.5D
Introduction -Properties of titanium: Low density Hard Relatively high melting pt. Silver color Low electrical and thermal conductivity Non-magnetic Excellent resistance to corrosion
Uses • Usually alloyed with Al, Cu, Mg and V • Industrial - welded titanium pipe → corrosion resistance • Pigments, additives and coatings (titanium dioxide) - give a pure and brilliant white color
Jewellery - durability, light, easily coloured, corrosion resistance • Aerospace and marine - high strength & resistance → making aircrafts, naval ships • Medical - stabilizing the fractured bones - biocompatible
Importance Catalyst Excellent corrosion resistance - passive oxide surface film Usefulness: its alloys Useful: medical, jewelry, architectural, industrial, aerospace, marine Stimulate the production of carbohydrates & encourage growth in plants
