Titanium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Found in nature only as an oxide, it can be reduced to produce a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, and high strength, resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine. If you want to know more about Titanium, please contact us.

Titanium History：

♦ 1791: British clergyman William Gregor (1761–1817) discovers a mysterious substance in the mineral menachanite and names it menachite.

♦ 1795: A German chemist named Martin H. Klaproth (1732–1817) finds the same substance in the mineral rutile and gives it its modern name, titanium, after the powerful Greek rulers named the Titans.

♦ 1910: American chemist Matthew A. Hunter makes the first 99.9 percent pure sample of titanium metal from titanium tetrachloride.

♦ 1930s: William Justin Kroll (1889–1973), a metallurgist from Luxembourg, invents the modern Kroll process, making possible large-scale production of titanium.

♦ 1950s–: Thanks to the Kroll process, titanium becomes less expensive and is soon prized for its strength, light weight, and all-round versatility.

Titanium Properties

Titanium is a lightweight, strong and rust-resistant silver-white metal. Pure titanium is quite soft but titanium alloys are extremely strong (even stronger than steel and aluminium). Titanium has a very high melting point and is non-toxic. Titanium dioxide is one of the whitest, brightest substances known. Because of its opaque and reflective properties it is used as a pigment in paints, plastics and paper. Titanium dioxide is also used in sunscreen because of its ability to reflect UV light.

Titanium Common Applications:

♦ Chemical plants: Titanium is highly corrosion resistant. It is used in many types of chemical equipment. About 30% of titanium used domestically is for chemical plants.

♦ Seawater usage: Titanium is greatly used in nuclear and fossil power stations. It is used for the big heat exchanger, CONDENSOR, which cools the steam form the turbine with seawater which does not corrode so the wall thickness of the tube is as thin as 0.5 mm. Condensor tubes consume about 20% of domestic titanium consumption.

♦ Titanium in daily life: Recently, titanium is being used in many goods we use such as in sports, building material, medical applications and accessories. This amounts to about 30% of domestic consumption.

♦ Aerospace: In the USA, about 70% of titanium produced is used for aerospace parts. In Japan only 2-3% of the titanium is consumed for aerospace usage. Thus, there is a big difference of market structure between Japan and USA.

Luoyang Youbo is a reliable supplier of high-quality CP Ti products that cater to the needs of various industries. Commercially Pure Titanium Grades offer a fascinating array of properties and applications, making them an essential choice in various industries. These grades are composed primarily of titanium with trace amounts of other elements, making them highly suitable for applications that require a combination of strength, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.

To better understand the distinctions between different commercially pure titanium grades, let's delve into a comparative analysis:

Grade 1: This grade offers a balance between strength and corrosion resistance. It is commonly used in environments where formability and weldability are crucial, such as in architectural applications.

Grade 2: With slightly improved strength compared to Grade 1, Grade 2 remains highly corrosion-resistant and boasts exceptional weldability. It is a popular choice in chemical processing equipment and marine environments.

Grade 3: This grade possesses excellent corrosion resistance and is highly weldable. It finds applications in chlorate manufacturing and other chemical processes.

Grade 4: Known for its high strength, Grade 4 retains excellent corrosion resistance and biocompatibility. It is often utilized in medical and dental implants.

In addition to these differences, commercially pure titanium grades offer remarkable biocompatibility, making them ideal for medical implants and prosthetics. Their resistance to corrosion ensures longevity in various environments, from chemical processing plants to marine structures.

When choosing the right commercially pure titanium grade for your project, it's essential to consider factors such as strength requirements, corrosion resistance, weldability, and biocompatibility. Each grade presents a unique set of attributes that can be tailored to meet specific application demands. (View the case) Whether you're working on architectural marvels, medical innovations, or industrial equipment, commercially pure titanium grades provide a versatile and reliable solution.
