Titanium—A Global Material of Choice

Titanium in the 21st century has emerged as a high-performance metal specified for demanding industrial, medical and commercial applications throughout the world. A wide spectrum of applications verify titanium’s strong global profile: aerospace
engine components and structural components built in North America and Europe; desalination systems in the Middle East; modern, high-profile architectural structures in Asia; off shore oil and gas exploration throughout the world; and an array of chemical processing and infrastructure projects in all major international markets.

Superior Properties:

There are four related reasons why engineers, purchasing managers, fabricators in global markets specify the use of titanium and its alloys to address their design, performance
and financial challenges.

Maximum Performance:

Many items, such as jet engine fan blades and medical/dental implants, simply perform best when they are manufactured from titanium, due to the metal’s unique combination of superior mechanical, corrosion resistance and physical properties.

Performance-to-Cost Value:

Titanium can enhance performance so dramatically it’s worth a higher cost, compared with other metals. For example, recreational products like golf clubs off er a playing experience that’s worth a higher price. In automotive applications, titanium connecting rods can save enough weight to improve performance without adding a costly turbocharger.

Life Cycle Cost:

In demanding global applications such as heat exchangers, chemical processing systems and marine environments, the initial higher cost of titanium pipe, fittings and tubing can be regained several fold by the savings that result from the metal’s long (many times unlimited) life and a corresponding reduction in
equipment maintenance and down time.
