Chemical and Physical Properties of Titanium

Chemical and physical properties of titanium will be introduced in this article.

Titanium is one metallic element. It is silvery and can burn in nitrogen. Titanium has high melting point.

Pure titanium and titanium-based alloys are new structural materials and they are mainly used in space industry and maritime industry.

From discovering titanium to obtaining pure titanium products, there is more than 100 years. While, the time when titanium got real application is after 1940s.

Titanium has no magnetic, so nuclear-powered submarine made of titanium can avoid the attack of magnetic mine.

The hardness of titanium is similar to that of iron and steel, while its weight is only half of iron and steel with the same volume. Nowadays, a great amount of titanium replacing iron and steel is used in space rocket and missile. Very fine titanium powder is also good fuel of rocket. So titanium is known as “universal metal” and “space metal”.

Titanium is featured by good heat resistance and its melting point is as high as 1725℃. At room temperature, titanium is able to stay in strong acid and alkaline solutions.

Nowadays, people use titanium to make submarine--titanium submarine. Since titanium is very solid and is able to bear very high pressure, so titanium submarine can navigate in deep sea with depth of 4500 meters.

Titanium can resist corrosion, so titanium is usually applied in chemical industry.

The biggest shortcoming of titanium is it is difficult to refine titanium.
