Titanium Alloys
Lightweight, High-Strength Titanium Components
Titanium alloys for weight-critical aerospace structures, seawater-resistant subsea components, and demanding structural applications.
Why Titanium
When titanium is specified
Titanium provides an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and many acids, and biocompatibility. It is the primary choice for weight-critical aerospace structures, offshore seawater systems, and medical devices.
Application Environments
- Seawater and chloride-rich environments
- Weight-critical aerospace structures
- Cryogenic applications
- Biomedical implant and surgical use
- Chemical processing in reducing media
- High-pressure gas storage
