Is titanium a rare metal?
Titanium is a kind of transition metal, which looks like steel and has silver gray luster. It has been considered as a rare metal for some time.
Is titanium a rare metal?
Titanium is not a rare metal. Titanium accounts for about 0.42% of the total weight of the earth's crust, 16 times that of copper, nickel, lead and zinc. It ranks seventh in the world of metals, with more than 70 kinds of titanium bearing minerals. Titanium has high strength, low density, high hardness, high melting point and strong corrosion resistance; high purity titanium has good plasticity, but becomes brittle and hard when there are impurities.
Titanium is a silver white metal, its density is about half of that of iron, but it has high mechanical strength, the mechanical strength of titanium is close to that of steel.
What are the products made of titanium?
Titanium and titanium alloys are very important lightweight structural materials, which have very important application value and broad application prospects in the fields of aviation, aerospace, vehicle engineering, biomedical engineering and so on.
Materials: typical titanium, industrial pure titanium, α - type titanium, β - type titanium, α + β titanium
The types of titanium products include titanium wire, titanium mesh, titanium tube, titanium sheet and titanium foil.
Titanium mesh: used in some instruments and devices to filter.
Titanium wire: in addition to industrial applications, advanced titanium wire is also used in some implant and cosmetic surgery.
Titanium tube: used in industry and machinery.
Titanium: used in bone implant, surgical osteosynthesis and biological implant company.
Titanium foil: titanium foil is thinner titanium sheet with thickness less than 0.1 mm.
Although titanium is not a rare metal, the high production cost of titanium, titanium alloys and titanium compounds limits their wide application.
