Introduction-Properties of titanium:
Low density
Hard
Relatively high melting pt.
Silver color
Low electrical and thermal conductivity
Non-magnetic
Excellent resistance to corrosion
Uses
Usually alloyed with Al, Cu, Mg and V
Industrial
- welded titanium pipe → corrosion resistance Pigments, additives and coatings (titanium diox
ide)
- give a pure and brilliant white color
Jewellery
- durability, light, easily coloured, corrosion resistance
Aerospace and marine
- high strength & resistance
→ making aircrafts, naval ships Medical
- stabilizing the fractured bones
- biocompatible
Importance Catalyst Excellent corrosion resistance - passive oxide surface film Usefulness: its alloys Useful: medical, jewelry, architectural,
industrial, aerospace, marine Stimulate the production of
carbohydrates & encourage growth in plants
