Titanium Bars

Here at Ti-Tek, we provide titanium bars for various industries – including aerospace, electronics, art and architecture, sport, jewellery-making, and medical, to name just a few.

In the aerospace industry, our titanium bars are widely used in aircraft frame structures, as well as the moving parts of aircraft engines and propellers. Titanium can be alloyed with other elements (e.g. aluminium, vanadium, iron, and molybdenum) to create a strong yet lightweight metal – perfect for jet engines, missiles, and spacecraft.

The laptop industry is one of the biggest consumers of titanium bars. In fact, Apple opted to use titanium bars in the body of the PowerBook laptops!

Titanium is renowned for its durable and sleek look, making it a popular choice for sculptures and buildings. Whilst titanium bars are often used in skyscrapers, they can also provide support and stability for buildings.

The sports industry use titanium bars to manufacture equipment, such as golf clubs, bicycle frames, and tennis rackets – mostly because of their high strength to low weight density.

If you’d like to know what else titanium bars can be used for, or to discuss your requirements in more detail, call Ti-Tek on 0121 382 4121.

The price you’ll pay for titanium bars can vary depending on several factors.

Here at Ti-Tek, we understand that no two projects are the same. Whilst some industries will require grade 2 titanium bars in long lengths, others will need grade 5 bars in shorter lengths or vice versa.

Much like anything else, the more titanium you need, the more you will pay. However, we pride ourselves on offering competitive prices and will always offer a tailored solution to suit your specific requirements.

Yes – although titanium is inherently strong – even in its purest form –Ti-Tek has the necessary skills and equipment to cut titanium bars to the correct size.

Whilst titanium alloys present greater difficulties, we employ a number of techniques and methods to cut titanium bars, including:

• Mechanical cutting
• Bandsawing
• Water jet cutting
• Plasma cutting

To ensure maximum safety and efficiency, we use low cutting speeds to cut titanium bars, as excessive cutting speeds can reduce tool life by as much as 80% and cause heat to build up.

Aluminium used to be the go-to metal when it came to building aircraft. But, in recent years, titanium has taken over and is now more widely used. Due to its exceptional heat and corrosion resistance, titanium bars can be used to produce the fastening components, landing gears and the framework of planes.

Titanium also has the ability to maintain this level of resistance when coming into contact with carbon-fibre-reinforced polymers (CFRPs), which are also commonly used in aircraft construction, ensuring the aircraft runs in a safe and reliable way.

Jewellery makers have been using titanium bars to craft everything from bracelets to rings for years. Not only is the metal super-strong, but it’s also scratch resistant and works well with other additions, like diamonds and precious stones.

For example, when rings are crafted from titanium bars, the part of the ring that houses the stone is often far more supportive and rugged than rings made from other materials, reducing the chance of the stone becoming dislodged and falling out. Titanium also looks great and maintains a stellar sheen, making it the perfect choice for making jewellery.
