Types of Titanium

• 
  6Al-4V, the most common
  titanium alloy, is composed of 90% titanium, six percent aluminum and four
  percent vanadium.
  
  　
  
• 
  Aerospace metals,
  including aluminum beryllium, nickel-based superalloys and titanium, have
  basic metal properties that are enhanced by key elemental alloying
  additions.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Bought titanium can
  be found in various stages of fabrication such as mill products or completed
  parts. Distributors, retailers, manufacturers and metal finishing industries
  buy titanium.
  
  　
  
• 
  Ferro-titanium is
  a mixture of titanium sponge and titanium scrap with iron. After being
  mixed, the titanium and iron are melted together, forming a single alloyed
  metal.
  
  　
  
• 
  High temperature alloys are
  materials that have unique strength and/or corrosion properties at
  temperatures exceeding 1,000ºF (537°C), as well as high creep resistance and
  resistance to softening and metal loss from oxidation, sulfidation or
  carburization. High temperature alloys contain a large amount of nickel
  (from 25 to 60%) and critical amounts of molybdenum, columbium, chromium and
  titanium.
  
  　
  
• 
  Super alloys have
  superior strength and corrosion resistance under high temperatures.
  Superalloys are used in applications such as jet engine components, valves
  and gas turbines.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Titanium alloys are
  composite materials that combines several metal components, with titanium
  being the predominant element, to create a hybrid metal.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Titanium bars are
  sections of titanium that have been machined down to a solid bar. The
  titanium bars are frequently shipped out and used by companies that
  manufacture titanium products.
  
  　
  
• 
  Titanium billets are
  milled products that have been hot-worked by either the forging, extruding
  or roll processes, forming the material into round or round-corner squared
  products. Titanium billets, which have diameters starting at four inches,
  are mostly used as starting stock for subsequent forging or extrusion
  processes.
  
  　
  
• 
  Titanium bolts like
  other bolts,
  consist of a threaded pin or rod and a head at the opposite end. Titanium
  bolts are preferred over other materials for their superior strength and
  corrosion resistance.
  
  　
  
• 
  Titanium castings are
  formed by pouring molten material into a mold in which it solidifies into
  the shape of the mold. The reactive properties of titanium makes the forming
  of titanium castings complex, though these products have been successfully
  used in a wide variety of applications.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Titanium foil is a
  very thin flat mill product of varying size and thickness that is produced
  during titanium extraction, formed and sold to titanium parts and product
  manufacturers for secondary fabrication.
  
• Titanium
  grades are used to
  distinguish the between the different types of titanium and titanium alloys
  based on their different qualities and purities to ensure proper material
  selection.
  
• 
  Titanium ingots are
  large (sometimes more than 10 tons) masses, consisting of primarily titanium
  but including other alloying elements. Titanium ingots are large and mostly
  barrel shaped and are used primarily for heat exchangers and piping in such
  industries as petrochemical plants, nuclear power plants and seawater
  desalination plants.
  
  　
  
• 
  Titanium manufacturers provide
  various titanium products to many industries.
  
• 
  
  Titanium metal is an
  extremely strong, low density and highly corrosion resistant substance used
  in a wide variety of industrial applications for which these traits and
  others, such as heat resistance, are desirable.
  
• 
  
  Titanium pipes are
  long hollow tube-like pieces of hardware used for the transport of fluid and
  gaseous materials in a wide range of industrial, commercial and domestic
  applications.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Titanium plates are
  widely used in the medical industry to correct skull defects or repair
  fracturing of the skull.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Titanium rods have a
  superior strength-to-mass ratio. Titanium rods, if well-designed, are about
  20% lighter than comparable steel rods.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Titanium sheet is a
  thin, flat piece of titanium.
  
• 
  Titanium sponge is
  pure titanium, which has a porous cellular form.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Titanium tubing offers
  superior strength, rigidity and lightness. Titanium tubing, largely formed
  from an alloy consisting of 3% aluminum and 2.5% of vanadium (3-2.5), is
  costly, due to the refinery, tooling and processing costs of the material.
  
  　
  
• 
  
  Titanium wire is a
  fine wire or braided cable that is becoming more popular in the biomedical
  and industrial fields for its small diameter and admirable strength. Common
  diameters range from 0.0015" with fine wire to over 0.2" with weld wire.
