Why Titanium?
It’s Strong, Light & Resistant to Corrosion
Titanium is being increasingly used in our modern society. It is strong, light and corrosion-resistant. These properties allow it to be used in the aerospace industry, building industry, sports goods industry and as implants in a number of surgical procedures.
Steel is dense, hard and magnetic. Titanium on the otherhand is light, low-density and resistant to corrosion.

Higher Strength-to-Weight Ratio
High Strength
Pure titanium is characterised for its specific strength, reaching up to 590 MPa tensile strength. In alloy form, this strength extends dramatically up to 1250 MPa.
Lightweight
Titanium atoms are relatively light, and their electron shell is moderately wide, which means that fewer atoms can be packed into a fixed volume.
Non Corrosive
Pure titanium readily reacts with oxygen, it naturally produces an oxide film that gives itself protection against corrosive materials and environments.
High Strength
One of the most notable advantages of titanium is its strength. It’s among the strongest and most durable metals on the planet, which is why it’s used in so many industrial applications. In fact, titanium has the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element on the periodic table!

Lightweight
Titanium has a relatively low-density when compared to other metals. It weighs about 4.5x as much as water; while iron and steel are 8x; and gold is 19x. Titanium atoms are relatively light, and their electron shell is moderately wide, which means that fewer atoms can be packed into a fixed volume.

Corrosion Resistant
Titanium is naturally resistant to corrosion. When titanium is initially exposed to oxygen, it develops a thin layer of oxide, which protects the rest of the metal. Titanium alloys such as Titanium Grade 12 has 0.3% molybdenum and 0.8% nickel for a superior level of protection against corrosion.
