Titanium

Titanium has a high melting point (1660°C), low density (almost 60% of steel), but the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal element. Titanium is easily fabricated and has excellent corrosion resistance. Titanium is resistant to dilute sulphuric and hydrochloric acid, most organic acides, damp chlorine gas, and chloride solutions. Titanium metal is also freindly to human body.

Titanium is as strong as steel but much less dense. It is therefore important as an alloying agent with many metals including aluminium, molybdenum and iron. These alloys are mainly used in aircraft, spacecraft and missiles because of their low density and ability to withstand extremes of temperature. They are also used in golf clubs, laptops, bicycles and crutches.

Power plant condensers use titanium pipes because of their resistance to corrosion. Because titanium has excellent resistance to corrosion in seawater, it is used in desalination plants and to protect the hulls of ships, submarines and other structures exposed to seawater.

Because titanium is non-toxic and biocompatible, it has many medical uses, including surgical implements and implants such as in joint replacements (especially hip joints) and tooth implants.

HEXON is specialized in supplying semi-finished and custom-made forms for titanium and its alloyed products, by using open-die forging, casting, rolling, swaging, extruding, drawing, stamping, welding, and other forming and fabricating technologies.
