Titanium has a low density and is a strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including sea water, aqua regia and chlorine) transition metal with a silver color. Titanium can be alloyed with iron, ...

Medical implants are an application where no tradeoffs can be made; failures are costly in both human and monetary terms. Biocompatibility is a must, devices are size-limited (meaning high material ...

To produce complex titanium parts more cost-effectively, some machine shops may adopt advanced forging equipment to complement their CNC capabilities, to create near-net-shaped parts that require only ...

Titanium alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures). They are light weight, have extraordinary corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme ...

Titanium is strong and light, with the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal. But giving it a good balance of strength and ductility is difficult and expensive. That’s why titanium is used ...

Alcoa plans to expand its Martinsville, VA, titanium forging operation, with an $8.59-million investment that will include a new billet grinding line, and two new forging furnaces. The project is ...

Many aerospace companies are trying to make a big noise in titanium these days, but workers at Alcoa’s parts fabrication plant at Samara, in southeastern Russia, had best tighten up their ear ...
