Application
Aerospace: Structural components, skins, engine parts, fuel tanks, and cryogenic vessels where lightweight and high strength are critical.
Chemical Processing: Reactors, tanks, pressure vessels, linings for corrosive environments, and components for chemical processing equipment.
Marine: Hull plating, seawater piping systems, offshore platforms, and components for desalination plants.
Medical: Implants (bone plates, joint replacements), surgical instruments, and medical device components.
Automotive: Exhaust systems, body panels, and high-performance parts where weight reduction and corrosion resistance are desired.
Architecture: Roofing, cladding, and decorative elements for their aesthetic appeal and long-lasting durability.
Sports Equipment: Bicycle frames, golf clubheads, and other sporting goods require high strength and lightweight properties.
Electronics: Components for electronic devices, sputtering targets, and semiconductor manufacturing equipment.
Aircraft Fuselage Panels: Titanium sheets are used for aircraft skins due to their high strength-to-weight ratio and corrosion resistance, contributing to fuel efficiency and extended service life.
Chemical Processing Tanks: Titanium plates are used to construct tanks and reactors for handling corrosive chemicals, ensuring long-term durability and minimizing maintenance costs.
Medical Implants: Titanium sheets and strips manufacture bone plates and joint replacements due to their biocompatibility and corrosion resistance, ensuring safe and long-lasting implants within the human body.
