Where is the titanium metal used in high-tech fields?

In daily life, we often hear that titanium is used in some high-precision fields, so what kind of tall metal is titanium? What is unique about it so that it is favored by top products? Today, I will give you a popular science, where is the titanium metal used in the high-tech field?

Titanium is a metal. Titanium looks like steel, with silver-gray luster. The titanium discovered by Gregor and Kraprot at the time was powdered titanium dioxide, not metallic titanium. Because the oxide of titanium is extremely stable, and metal titanium can directly and fiercely combine with oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, etc., elemental titanium is difficult to prepare. It was not until 1910 that the American chemist Hunter made the purity for the first time. Up to 99.9% metallic titanium.

Grade 5 Titanium Tube metal has the characteristics of low density, high specific strength, good corrosion resistance, low thermal conductivity, non-toxic and non-magnetic, weldable, good biocompatibility, and strong surface decoration. It is a lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant Structural materials are widely used in high-precision fields such as aerospace, medical equipment, sporting goods, and precision products.

Titanium, which is widely used in high-precision fields, is also used on Braun's latest Braun luxury gold 9 series razor. It is reinforced by a titanium coating, which is strong and corrosion-resistant, while giving gentle care to the skin and reducing shaving. Skin is red and swollen when shaving.

The application of titanium in surgical procedures is also worth mentioning. Titanium is "biophilic". In the human body, it can resist the corrosion of secretions and is non-toxic, and it is suitable for any sterilization method. Therefore, it is widely used in the manufacture of medical equipment, artificial hip joints, knee joints, shoulder joints, flank joints, cranium, active heart valves, bone fixation clips

Before titanium, stainless steel bones were usually used. However, the use of stainless steel has a disadvantage, that is, it is very painful to take out the stainless steel sheet after the bone has healed. Otherwise, stainless steel will be harmful to the human body due to rust. If you switch to titanium "artificial bone", orthopedics technology will be completely changed. In the place where the bones are damaged, use Grade 1 Pure Titanium Plate and titanium screws. After a few months, the bones will re-grow in the small holes and screws of the titanium sheets. The new muscle fibers are wrapped in the titanium sheets, and the titanium bones look like real The bones are connected with flesh and blood, and play a role of support and reinforcement.

The characteristics of high strength and low density make titanium widely used in the field of sporting goods. High-quality bicycle frames and golf clubs are usually made of titanium, which is strong and durable.

Titanium is an ideal material for aircraft. Aircraft engines, bulletproof parts, strengthening parts, strengthening parts, combustion chambers, turbine shafts, turbine discs, nozzles, etc., are mostly made of titanium alloy materials, mainly because titanium is good Heat resistance.

With the development and utilization of titanium tubing for bike frame, it has been discovered that titanium is not only an ideal material for aviation equipment, but also a preferred material for building ships and submarines. Titanium has the reputation of "submerged metal". Titanium alloy is a hero who climbs into the sky and a hero who dives into the sea. When navigating in the deep sea, submarines have to withstand tremendous pressure. The deeper the dive, the greater the pressure. The shell of nuclear submarine is made of titanium alloy, and its diving depth is more than twice that of ordinary submarine.

Titanium has a strong resistance to acid and alkali corrosion. It will not corrode after 5 years of immersion in seawater, while steel will corrode and deteriorate in seawater. Titanium alloy is used to make the shell of the ship, and the seawater cannot corrode it. The submarine made of it is resistant to seawater corrosion and deep pressure, and its diving depth is 80% higher than that of the stainless steel submarine. At the same time, titanium is non-magnetic and will not be found by mines, and has a good anti-monitoring effect. Generally, steel submarines are easily crushed by water pressure when they dive more than 300 meters. The titanium submarine dives deeper than 300 meters, not only will not be crushed, but also can effectively avoid depth charges, showing the unique charm and excellent performance of the "titanium submarine".

It can be seen that as a lightweight, high-strength, corrosion-resistant material, titanium is widely used in high-tech fields such as aerospace, military weapons, medical equipment, sporting goods, high-end products, and construction, and more and more civilian fields are also beginning to use it. This metal, in a sense, the use of titanium has become synonymous with high-end.
