Titanium is highly corrosive element with several benefits that makes it perfect element to produce mill products like bolts, pipes, sheet, fasteners and other products. It is symbolized by Ti in chemistry and has atomic weight of 22. It is as stronger as steel and twice as of aluminum but half in weight. It is physically available in silvery grey white metallic in color and chemically it is excellent resistant to corrosion just like platinum and is one of the few element that is easily burn in pure nitrogen or in open air. Its excellent properties makes it very demandable element for several industries and that is the reason why it is used in various kinds of industries such as aerospace, paper/pulp, chemical, medical applications, architectural and consumer, marine industry etc. The element is easily alloyed with other metals like aluminium, manganese, molybdenum and steel. The greater quantity of its production is utilized in aircraft industry because of its resistant corrosion and also helps in reducing the weight of the aircraft. The main reason of the extensive use of titanium in various industries is the oxide layer that forms on titanium alloys when combined with other metals. The products like screws and fasteners has undergo several times of scratching and as this oxide layer automatically remove after scratching, is the only reason why titanium alloy is used in making such products. In addition the oxide layer that forms after the combination of other metals on fasteners protects it from corrosion and improves its durability and strength as well. Bolts, screws, pipes, sheets, nuts, like fasteners are widely used in sports, oil industries and petrochemical industries and as its weight is comparatively higher than steel, it can hold more weight and is suitable to use for industrial products instead of stainless steel fasteners. Additionally because of its adherence property, it is also used in race car wheels making process as because of the oxide layer forms on the titanium screws it is easily adhere to the surface after some time. Advantages of using it in industries are: • Maintenance free • Stronger strength and highly corrosive resistant element • Light in weight than steel • Durable and sturdy • Can withstand in high temperature • Can combined with metals like steel, manganese, aluminium, vanadium etc to form alloy • Because of non toxic behavior cannot harm to human’s and animal’s body However the metal combined with it to form an alloy and its varying sizes makes it an expensive element. Furthermore the extraction process of this element (Kroll process) is also an expensive one that makes it expensive to cast as well. But if you want your structure as long lasting, stable and durable, it is the best option to consider.
