Some characteristics and applications of titanium sheet
 

Titanium sheet is a rolled titanium material obtained by melting and processing of titanium ingots. It is produced of titanium and titanium alloys of particular grade, conforming to particular standard. Click here to find out detailed information on titanium alloy grades and standards. The process of titanium sheet production is very complex and labor consuming which determines the high prices of the material.

Although its high production costs, for many applications the cost of titanium sheets can be justified due to their many desirable properties. Titanium sheet has excellent corrosion and heat resistance. It has low density but is durable, stable to overload and has high specific strength at the same time. Titanium sheet is resistant to chemical aggressive substances and deformation. It is stable to pressure falls and temperature differences.

All these characteristics make the titanium sheet irreplaceable material for aircraft building and in aerospace industry. Titanium is an important component of jet airframes. It is used in production of wings, screw propellers, blades, air inlets and number of other parts. Due to its excellent corrosion resistance against sea-water, titanium sheet is used for ship and submarine hulls production. Titanium sheet is also used in architecture as a building material for constructing of roofs, outer walls, shields. It has application in a wide range of industries and productions like petrochemical, natural gas, drilling platforms, heat exchangers, food and medical equipment.

One of the leading suppliers of titanium sheet is Electrovek-steel. The company is a special metals wholesaler and titanium mill products distributor as well.
