Introduction

  • Chapter
Titanium

Part of the book series: Engineering Materials, Processes ((EMP))

Abstract

High strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance are the main properties that make titanium attractive for a variety of applications. Examples include aircraft (high strength in combination with low density), aero-engines (high strength, low density, and good creep resistance up to about 550°C), biomedical devices (corrosion resistance and high strength), and components in chemical processing equipment (corrosion resistance).
