Titanium; An Overview of
Titanium (Ti) and titanium alloys have made significant progress in finding industrial use in the previous century due to some key advantages over other common industrial metals. Key benefits of titanium alloys over iron based and aluminum based alloys are its strength to weight ratio (Ti is roughly 60% of regular steel weight), outstanding combination of mechanical properties (from room temperature to elevated temperatures) and remarkable corrosion resistance. The major challenge of Ti manufacturing is its high reactivity with gases present in atmosphere specially at elevated temperature causing immature failure and difficulty in fabrication. Consequently, manufacturing cost of Titanium
