● Low Density with High Specific Strength: Titanium has a density of approximately 4.51 g/cm³, roughly 60% that of steel. Certain high-strength titanium alloys exceed the strength of many alloy structural steels.
● Exceptional Corrosion Resistance: Titanium exhibits far superior corrosion resistance to stainless steel in humid atmospheres and seawater environments. It demonstrates particularly high resistance to pitting, acid attack, and stress corrosion cracking.
● Excellent High and Low-Temperature Performance: Operating temperature ranges span from -196°C to 600°C. It maintains required strength at moderate temperatures and is suitable for long-term service at 450-500°C. At cryogenic temperatures (-196°C to 253°C), it retains good ductility and toughness.
● Good Machinability: The material possesses mature processing characteristics and can be readily machined into desired shapes and dimensions through various methods such as turning, milling, and drilling.
● Other Properties: Non-magnetic, non-toxic, tensile strength close to yield strength, good heat transfer properties, low modulus of elasticity. Additionally, it exhibits properties like gas absorption, shape memory effect, superconductivity (in certain alloys), and hydrogen storage capability.
