Grade 4 Titanium

Machining

Titanium is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density and high strength. It is highly resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine.

The two most useful properties of the metal are corrosion resistance and the highest strength-to-density ratio of any metallic element. In its unalloyed condition, titanium is as strong as some steels, but less dense.

APPLICATIONS

Titanium mill products (sheet, plate, bar, wire, forgings, castings) find application in industrial, aerospace, recreational, emerging markets, and medical uses, including surgical implements and implants, such as hip balls and sockets (joint replacement) and dental implants.
