Heat Exchangers: Titanium’s properties,
in particular its virtual immunity to corrosion
in salt, brackish or polluted waters, lead to
extremely reliable, highly efficient, cost competitive
heat exchangers. Titanium is available in welded
and seamless tubing in many alloy grades for
shell/tube exchangers, or in pressed form for
plate and frame exchangers. Thinner walls coupled
with its surface characteristics promote excellent
heat transfer.
Power Generation:
The use of Ti 6Al-4V for turbine blades has
been proven to increase the efficiency and life
of low pressure steam turbines while decreasing
downtime and maintenance. CP titanium thin wall
condenser tubing is used extensively in power
plants, because it can be specified without
a corrosion allowance and has a virtually unlimited
life, well past the life of the condenser or
plant.
Fasteners/Bolts:
Due to its properties such as mechanical and
corrosion resistance, low density and absolutely
biocompatibility make titanium the ideal metal
for fastener/rivets in many industrial areas
such as galvanic, chemical, food industry, automotive,
aerospace, sports equipments, marine applications,
architectural.
Armor/Armament:
The application of titanium in ballistic armor
is focused on two areas: armoured vehicles and
ordnance, and personal armor. On tanks and ground
vehicles, titanium reduces weight to enhance
airlift transportability and fighting force
mobility. In comparison to traditional rolled
homogenous armor, titanium offers an excellent
strength-to-weight ratio, good ballistic properties
and multi-hit-capacity corrosion resistance
and weldability/machinability. In personal armor,
titanium’s toughness, light weight and
low modulus combine to offer protection with
less discomfort.
Food and Pharmaceutical: Titanium
demonstrates excellent corrosion resistance,
not only to various food products and pharmaceutical
chemicals, but also to the cleaning agents utilized.
Titanium can also eliminate the problems of
metal contamination.
