Key Features
High Ductility and Fracture Toughness: Compared to standard Ti-525, the ELI variant exhibits significantly higher ductility and fracture toughness, making it more resistant to crack propagation and brittle fracture. This is crucial in applications involving cyclic loading, impact loading, or stress concentrations.
Good Strength and Cold Workability: Ti-525 ELI retains Ti-525’s good strength and excellent cold workability, allowing for the formation of complex shapes and intricate designs.
Corrosion Resistance: It is well-resistant to corrosion in various environments, including seawater, chloride solutions, and some acids.
Biocompatibility: Ti-525 ELI is biocompatible, making it suitable for medical implants and devices.
Packing
Packed in plywood boxes.
Applications
Critical aircraft structural components: These are used for parts requiring high fatigue resistance and damage tolerance, such as landing gear components, airframe structures, and fasteners.
Cryogenic applications: Employed in cryogenic tanks and systems due to its excellent low-temperature properties.
Implants: It is particularly suitable for implants requiring high fatigue resistance and ductility, such as hip and knee joint replacements, spinal implants, and bone plates.
Surgical instruments: Utilized for instruments requiring strength, corrosion resistance, and precision.
Subsea equipment: Employed for components in subsea oil and gas exploration and production equipment where resistance to crack propagation and fatigue is critical.
Process equipment: Used for components in chemical processing equipment exposed to corrosive environments where high ductility is desired.
