What Is Titanium
Titanium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Found in nature only as an oxide, it can be reduced to produce a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, and high strength, resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine.
Titanium is highly resistant to chemical attack and has the highest strength to weight ratio of any metal. These unique properties make Titanium suitable for a wide range of applications. It's stiffness to weight ratio as steel is similar to steel meaning it can be used as a substitute where weight is an important consideration.
This is well highlighted in aviation where its use in landing gear and compressor fans has drastically improved thrust to weight ratios. Titanium is highly recyclable which reduces costs involved in its production. Its inertness means that it can survive weathering and consequentially has a lower lifetime cost that other metals used in architecture and construction.
It is also biocompatible making it well suited to medical usage where it is nontoxic and able to osseointegrate.
Titanium is as strong as steel but much less dense. It is therefore important as an alloying agent with many metals including aluminium, molybdenum and iron. These alloys are mainly used in aircraft, spacecraft and missiles because of their low density and ability to withstand extremes of temperature. They are also used in golf clubs, laptops, bicycles and crutches.
Power plant condensers use titanium pipes because of their resistance to corrosion. Because titanium has excellent resistance to corrosion in seawater, it is used in desalination plants and to protect the hulls of ships, submarines and other structures exposed to seawater.
Titanium metal connects well with bone, so it has found surgical applications such as in joint replacements (especially hip joints) and tooth implants.
The largest use of titanium is in the form of titanium(IV) oxide. It is extensively used as a pigment in house paint, artists' paint, plastics, enamels and paper. It is a bright white pigment with excellent covering power. It is also a good reflector of infrared radiation and so is used in solar observatories where heat causes poor visibility.
Titanium(IV) oxide is used in sunscreens because it prevents UV light from reaching the skin. Nanoparticles of titanium(IV) oxide appear invisible when applied to the skin.
What Are the Key Features of Titanium
The properties and features of titanium differ depending on the grade and the particular alloy. However, some general characteristics of titanium are shown in the list below:
Corrosion resistant: Titanium is highly resistant to corrosion from seawater, chlorine, and many other corrosive agents, making it useful in marine, and chemical processing applications.
Lightweight: Titanium has a low density compared to many other metals. It is ideal for use in lightweight structures and components in the aerospace and automotive industries.
High strength: Titanium's strength rivals that of steel. A titanium structure of equivalent strength, however, weighs approximately 45% less than the corresponding steel structure because of titanium's lower density. Because of its high strength and high strength-to-weight ratio, titanium is often used in aerospace, automotive, medical, and marine applications.
Biocompatible: Titanium is considered the most biocompatible metal due to its inertness, its resistance to corrosion by bodily fluids, its capability to integrate into bone (osseointegration), and its high cyclic fatigue limit. This makes titanium useful in bone, joint, and dental implants.
Heat resistant: Titanium has low thermal conductivity. This makes titanium ideal for high-heat applications in machining, spacecraft, jet engines, missiles, and automobiles.
Nonmagnetic: Titanium is nonmagnetic, but becomes paramagnetic in the presence of a magnetic field.
Ductile: Titanium is a ductile metal whose ductility improves with increased temperatures. Additionally, alloying titanium with other ductile metals like aluminum significantly improves its ductility.
Low thermal expansion: Titanium has a low coefficient of thermal expansion. At extreme temperatures, titanium will not expand or contract as much as other materials such as steel. Its low thermal expansion properties make titanium ideal for structural applications that experience high temperatures such as in aerospace and spacecraft or large buildings and skyscrapers in the event of a fire.
Excellent fatigue resistance: Titanium has excellent fatigue resistance. This makes titanium ideal for aerospace applications where structural parts of aircraft such as landing gear, hydraulic systems, and exhaust ducts are subjected to cyclic loading.
Since Titanium is an element on the periodic table and not an alloy by itself, it is possible to find virtually 100% pure Titanium.
Oftentimes though, it is alloyed with other elements to further enhance its physical and chemical properties. These different alloys are called "grades". There are around 50 grades of Titanium available for purchase, with several grades being vastly more popular than others. Grades 1, 2, 3 and 4 are all virtually pure Titanium. Grade 5, one of the most used grades of Titanium, has significant amounts of aluminum and vanadium in its makeup (>3% each).
Two examples of the most corrosion resistant grades of Titanium are Grade 7 and Grade 11. They are "near pure" Titanium, with additions of palladium (<0.5%) giving them their superb corrosion resistance.
Titanium and Its Grades
Titanium comes in grades that are suitable for specific applications. Titanium CP4, Grade 1, is the softest grade of titanium and has the highest ductility, toughness, and corrosion resistance. Due to its cold forming characteristics and welding properties, it is popular in architecture, automotive production, the medical industry, and processing industries. Grade 1 is available in bars, flanges, sheets, welding wires, and forgings.
Another grade that has excellent cold forming properties with corrosion resistance and welding properties is CP3, Grade 2. It is used in aerospace, automotive production, chemical industry, architecture, marine, and medical industries.
● Grade 1 - CP4 - Is the softest titanium and is ductile, tough, and corrosion resistant.
● Grade 3 - CP2 - Is stronger than all previous grades.
● Grade 4 - CP1 - Is the strongest and most corrosion resistant but has low ductility and is used in medical and aerospace applications.
● Grade 7 - Has the best mechanical and physical properties with excellent fabrication and welding properties. It is corrosion resistant to reducing acids.
● Grade 11 - CP Ti-0.15Pd - has properties similar to Grade 2.
What Is Titanium Alloy
Titanium alloys are alloys that contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures). They are light in weight, have extraordinary corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures.
Some of the attractive properties of titanium alloys are:
● Biocompatibility: Titanium possesses non-magnetic properties and exhibits biocompatibility, rendering it non-toxic and non-allergenic. Consequently, these advantageous characteristics have prompted a growing utilization of titanium within the medical domain.
● Mechanical properties: The primary mechanical characteristics that play a crucial role in the selection of materials are hardness, rigidity, ductility, and Young's modulus. The mechanical properties of several known titanium alloys are utilized in surgical and dental treatments.
● Antibacterial property: Since titanium is used as an implant, its antibacterial property plays a vital role in protecting it from failure.
● Corrosion property: Titanium alloys are considered to exhibit exceptional corrosion properties. Titanium exhibits remarkable resistance to corrosion from both aqueous solutions and various chemical substances. The observed resistance can be attributed to the formation of a thin layer of titanium dioxide (TiO2) on the surface, which poses significant challenges for the penetration of these materials.
● Titanium exhibits a relatively low modulus of elasticity. This implies that titanium exhibits high flexibility and possesses the ability to restore its initial shape following deformation.
●Titanium-based alloys are renowned for their remarkable combination of high strength, low weight, and exceptional resistance to corrosion. Titanium exhibits remarkable strength comparable to steel, while simultaneously possessing a significantly reduced weight of approximately 40%.
● Titanium possesses exceptional inertness, rendering it highly suitable for a wide range of biomedical applications. Specifically, its inert nature within the human body enables it to resist corrosion caused by bodily fluids.
Titanium & Titanium Alloy Categorisation
Titanium and Titanium alloys are categorised based on their metallurgy e.g. alpha (α), near-alpha, alpha-beta (α-β) and beta (β) alloys. The differences in metallurgical phases are designed to deliver unique properties for specific applications.
Pure Ti undergoes a phase transformation from hexagonal close packed (hcp) α to body centered cubic (bcc) β at about 890 ̊C .
Alpha (α) and near-alpha Titanium alloys are non-heat treatable (except for Ti-230). They have low-medium strength, which increases when higher amounts of interstitial elements are added i.e. Oxygen (O) and Nitrogen (N) or Carbon (C).
Oxygen increases strength and in commercially pure Titanium (Grades 1-4) the level of Oxygen increases with the numerical designation. Titanium Grade 2 (CP3), for instance, has higher strength (including creep) than Titanium Grade 1 (CP4). Nitrogen is also increased in Titanium Grades 3 & 4 to improve surface passivation and increase pitting corrosion resistance.
Alpha (α) and near-alpha alloys are very ductile and therefore, possess good notch toughness and weldability. They also offer a low-cost solution to most corrosion problems and various cryogenic applications.
Alpha-beta (α-β) Titanium alloys are heat-treatable to varying levels of strength. Hence, the grades belonging to this class, e.g. Ti 6Al-4V (Ti Grade 5) and Ti 6-2-4-6, generally have higher strength and hardness than the alpha (α) and Near-alpha alloys. Creep strength and cold-formability, however, are not as good when compared to the Alpha (α) and near-alpha alloys. Ti 6Al-4V (Ti Grade 5) and Ti 6-2-4-6 have a good hot-formability and weldability. They are popular when an application demands a good balance between versatile corrosion/oxidation resistance and mechanical strength.
Near-beta & Beta (β) alloys, also known as 'metastable-alloys', are readily heat treatable to yield extremely high strength for use in various applications up to intermediate temperatures. Beta (β) alloys such as Ti10-2-3, has a good cold formability after solution strengthening and outstanding weldability.
