Properties Of Titanium
Jan 29, 2024
What exactly are the unique physical and chemical properties of titanium metal? After continuous testing, scientists have finally recognised the true nature of titanium.
In terms of physical properties, it has a silver-white metallic luster, looks very much like steel, density of 4.5g/cm3, higher than aluminium and lower than iron, copper, nickel, density is relatively small. Its strength is located in the top of the metal, is 3 times of stainless steel, is 1.3 times of aluminium alloy. Its melting point is 1725℃ and boiling point is 3,260℃. Latent heat of melting -3.7~5.0kcal/g atom, latent heat of vaporisation 102.5~112.5 kcal/g atom, critical temperature 34350 ℃, critical pressure 1130 atm. it also presents extreme corrosion resistance, low temperature toughness, as well as electrical and thermal conductivity of the physical properties of the ability to conduct heat is poor.



. In terms of chemical properties, it is a metal that is easily passivated, in air and aqueous solution is easily oxidised to form a stable oxidising protective film, which can even resist the action of aqua regia, so titanium is particularly corrosion-resistant, but also because of his chemical properties at high temperatures is very active, easy to O, N, H, S and halogen elements? and other non-metallic role, so refining titanium metal will be easy to introduce impurities, which will have a certain impact on the mechanical properties of titanium.
The above physical and chemical properties of titanium determine the uses, coupled with the fact that it is relatively abundant in the earth's reserves, so that people will not waste this valuable resource in vain.
