Despite the fact that the commercial production of Titanium has only been possible in the last sixty years and then only by a complex and expensive process, its unique properties have resulted in advances in technology, aviation, marine, medicine and the many other applications that we now take for granted but may not have been possible or be as efficient by using an alternative.
A promising new development known as the FFC Cambridge Process may result in producing Titanium at a lower cost than the original Kroll process that is still in use to this day.
The Properties of Titanium
Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti.
It has a silvery white metallic lustre when pure.
It is as strong as steel but is only just over half its weight and is twice as strong as aluminium.
Titanium based alloys have very high strength-to-weight ratios.
Titanium is ductile, malleable, wieldable and easily worked.
It is obtainable in a number of formats that include wire, sheet, rod, foil, granules, sponge and powder.
It has an extremely low response to magnetism.
Titanium has a very low electrical resistivity and thermal...
