Titanium

The combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance makes titanium the best material choice for many critical applications.

Previously used only in state-of-the-art military applications and other niche markets, improvements to titanium smelting techniques has seen use become more widespread in recent decades. Nuclear power plants make extensive use of titanium alloys in heat exchangers and especially valves. In fact the corrosion resistant nature of titanium means they do believe that nuclear waste storage units lasting 100,000 years could be made from it. This non-corrosive nature also means titanium alloys are widely utilised in oil refineries and marine components. Titanium is entirely non-toxic which, combined with its non-corrosive nature, means it is used for industrial scale food processing and in medical protheses. Titanium is still in high demand within the aerospace industry, with many of the most critical parts of the airframe made from these alloys in both civilian and military aircraft.

Titanium Weight Calculator

All weights shown using this metal weight calculator are for guidance only. They are calculated using nominal dimensions and scientifically recognised densities. Please note that in practice, the actual metal weight can vary significantly from theoretical weight due to variations in manufacturing tolerances and compositions.
