Titanium is a new type of metal

Performance
Titanium is a new type of metal, and the performance of the carbon-containing titanium impurity content of nitrogen, hydrogen, oxygen and so on, the most pure titanium plate iodide impurity content not exceeding 0.1%, but its low strength, high ductility. 99.5% of the performance of industrial pure titanium as: density ρ = 4.5g / cc, a melting point of 1725 ℃, thermal conductivity λ = 15.24W / (mK), the tensile strength σb = 539MPa, elongation δ = 25%, section shrinkage ψ = 25%, the elastic modulus E = 1.078 × 105MPa, the hardness HB195.
High strength
Density of titanium alloys is generally about 4.51g / cc,
Only 60% of steel, titanium density was close to the density of ordinary steel, some high-strength titanium alloy over the strength of the many structural steel. Therefore, the ratio of titanium strength (strength / density) is much larger than other metal structural materials, see Table 7-1, the unit can be made out of high strength, rigidity and lightweight components. Aircraft engine components, skeleton, skin, so the use of titanium fasteners and landing gear.
