The Element Titanium


The best quality about titanium is its high strength to weight ratio. It is a metallic element which is light and strong with low density. In its pure form titanium is ductile, white in color and is useful as a refractory metal. In its chemical properties, titanium is extremely resistant to corrosion and is capable of confronting attacks from acids.

The most widely used application of titanium is its usage in aircrafts, armor plating, naval ships and missiles. Welded titanium pipes are used in chemical and petrochemical industries due to its high resistance to corrosion.
