What's the Biggest Advantages of Titanium Material?
May 21, 2021
Titanium has a series of advantages. The first is its moderate density, which is 4.51g/cm3, which is 57% of steel. It is only a little bit larger than half of steel, a little bit smaller than twice that of aluminum, but its strength is greater than that of aluminum. Among the commonly used structural alloys, the specific strength of titanium alloy is 3.5 times that of stainless steel, 1.3 times that of aluminum alloy, and 1.7 times that of magnesium alloy. This alone makes it an indispensable material for aerospace vehicle structures.
Titanium also has the performance advantages of four highs and one nothing. High corrosion resistance, high heat resistance, high yield strength, high low temperature performance. Titanium has high corrosion resistance in seawater, wet chlorine, chlorite, nitric acid, chromic acid, metal chloride, sulfide, and organic acid; titanium alloy maintains a high level of corrosion resistance at a high temperature of 500℃ Some titanium alloys have high mechanical properties at low temperatures, as well as high plasticity and toughness; titanium alloys have high yield strength, such as the tensile strength of Ti-6AL-4V alloy, which is 960MPa. The strength is 892MPa, with a difference of only 58MPa; titanium and titanium alloys are non-magnetic, non-magnetic and high-strength performance. They are excellent materials for manufacturing deep-sea submarine shells.
