Titanium alloys

Titanium alloys  are alloys of this metal with the addition of other elements such as aluminum, vanadium, or copper. Titanium is characterized by low density, corrosion resistance, and exceptional mechanical properties, which makes it widely used in the aviation, space, and medical industries. They are known for their strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance, which makes it used in the production of aircraft components, as well as in medical implants due to its biocompatibility.

The most important titanium alloys

• Ti-6Al-4V – is the most commonly used titanium alloy, consisting of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium, has excellent strength and corrosion resistance. It is widely used in the aerospace, medical (implants) and space vehicle parts manufacturing industries;
• Ti-6Al-2Sn-4Zr-2Mo – contains 6% aluminum, 2% zinc, 4% vanadium, 2% molybdenum and 2% tantalum. It has very good corrosion resistance and is mainly used in medicine, especially for the production of implants and surgical instruments;
• Ti-5Al-2.5Sn – contains 5% aluminum and 2.5% zinc, which gives it good mechanical properties. It is used in the marine industry, where it is resistant to corrosion in salt water, and in the production of aircraft engines;
• Ti-15V-3Al-3Cr-3Sn (Ti-15-3-3) – contains 15% vanadium, 3% aluminum, 3% chromium and 3% zinc. It has excellent mechanical properties and is used in the production of highly stressed components, such as aircraft engine parts;
• Ti-3Al-2.5V – contains 3% aluminum and 2.5% vanadium. It has good corrosion resistance and is often used in the production of tubes, wheels and other bicycle components;
• Beta C – contains 3% aluminum, 8% vanadium and 6% chromium. It has excellent anti-corrosion properties and is used in the chemical and marine industries..

Their diversity allows the material properties to be adapted to the specific needs of each application.
