TITANIUM - The STRONGEST METAL in the World

TITANIUM - The STRONGEST METAL in the World
Titanium is a silver-colored metal valued for its strength and lightness. It makes up 0.57% of the earth’s crust. It’s a transition metal, with atomic number 22 and symbol Ti.
It is the strongest metal per unit mass. Titanium is as strong as steel, but is 45% lighter than steel. It is twice as strong as Aluminum and only 60% heavier than Aluminum. Which makes it the most ideal material for the aerospace industry where every gram matters.
Titanium has increasingly become the buy-to-fly material for aircraft designers striving to develop faster, lighter and more efficient aircrafts, About 39% of the most advanced fighter aircraft in the world, F22 raptor is made of Titanium. It is also increasingly being used in the making of passenger aircrafts like 787s and airbuses. It is widely used in making jet engine parts due to its excellent performance at high temperatures. According to NASA, titanium played key role in building many components of the International space station.
In addition to strength, it possesses many other valuable properties. The material has excellent corrosion resistance in harsh conditions like sea water. It is used in making propeller shafts for ships and other structures exposed to the sea. The soviets are said to have built submarines using titanium.
Titanium is considered the most biocompatible metal in the world. It is able to withstand the unique environments inside human body. So titanium is widely used for surgical implants like replacement of hip joints and other dental implants. It’s ability to physically bond with bone also gives it an added advantage over other materials.
Over 95% of Titanium is used in the form of Titanium Dioxide. We use 4million tons of Titanium dioxide per year, a lot of it for paint and other applications like in medicines, toothpastes and in the food industry.
From golf clubs to wrist watches, eye-glass frames, knives and even jewelries, titanium use is spreading to all kinds of products of our daily life.
Apple computers recently put a titanium laptop on the market due to its light weight.
There has been has been significant progress in the application of titanium alloys in automobiles. The performance benefits of titanium in automotive applications have been established and widely reported over many years. However due to costs, the use of the metal has been limited to racing cars and a few top range road models.
Titanium is manufactured by Kroll process. It’s manufacturing costs are very high, which limits its applications to only specialized ones. Most of the traditional processing technologies are not suitable for titanium making. Its high melting point of 1670 degrees Celsius and high reactivity at elevated temperatures is a challenge. New processing methods like 3D printing can be a game changer for titanium. In 3D printing an object is built layer by layer to create amazing shapes. Advances in 3D printing are opening up new avenues in making titanium more practical and serviceable.
