The thermal conductivity of titanium is much slower than that of some of our common metals. From the current data, the thermal conductivity of titanium is close to that of stainless steel, which is about 1/14 of aluminum and about 1/5 of iron.

It is generally believed that the purer the titanium metal, the greater its hardness, in fact, the hardness of titanium is not large, some purity is not high titanium hardness is surprisingly high, there are some impurities can improve its hardness.

The reason why there is such an idea is because titanium is too stable and difficult to develop and smelt, so you will naturally think so. In fact, titanium reserves occupy 0.6% of the region, occupying the ninth place, the storage is very large.

Although titanium alloys are denser than aluminum alloys, why do some lightweight devices still use them? This is because titanium alloys have a higher strength-to-weight ratio and can be made of thinner materials to achieve the same strength and hardness. Therefore, cases and parts made of titanium alloy are generally lighter than those made of aluminum.

Titanium metal shows different reactive activities at different temperatures. Titanium is very stable in normal temperature air and is not easy to have any reaction, but it has strong chemical activity at high temperature and can easily react with many gases.

Common applications of titanium:

(1) Aerospace applications: Due to its light weight and high temperature resistance, it provides the aerospace industry with a variety of aircraft grade titanium alloys for the manufacture of aircraft turbine discs, blades and fuselage structural components.

(2) petrochemical use: petrochemical titanium, titanium application because of its high level of corrosion resistance and heat resistance, titanium raw materials are often used in the heat exchanger and reactor in the petrochemical industry.

(3) Medical applications: Medical grade titanium, titanium implants because of their biocompatibility with human bone and tissue, titanium rods and wires are ideal materials for medical devices. Titanium suppliers typically provide inventory of dental implants, prosthetics, and bone and joint replacement procedures.
