Titanium plates for every requirement
A titanium plate is most commonly used in manufacturing but can hold bones in place remarkably while they heal too. Both resistant to corrosion and biocompatible, they are a staple in the medical industry. In fact, many doctors use titanium plates implants – especially for patients with a bad fracture, severe skull injury or bone degeneration disease.
One of the key reasons why they are so popular is that they are just as strong as steel but almost 45% lighter. They are also heavier than aluminium – making them more stable and reliable. What’s more, titanium can be strengthened (alloyed) with other elements, including aluminium, vanadium, iron and molybdenum to name just a few.
A question we are frequently asked, here at Ti-Tek, is how long do titanium plates last? Studies show that, when properly inserted into the human body, a titanium plate can last for 20 years+. And longer still for dental applications.
These plates are excellent conductors of heat which makes them ideal for the automotive and aerospace industry – where things can get hot, very quickly. Aside from this, they come in very useful for motorsport and are considered a high-quality material for many racing teams and subcontractors.
A perhaps more surprising use of titanium plates includes the body of laptops, like Apple’s PowerBook (replaced by the MacBook Pro in 2006). It’s titanium’s lustrous look and low density that won the American multinational technology giants over in the first place.
Titanium plates are supplied in an assortment of grades, however, grades 2 and 5 are what’s known as the ‘workhorses’. They offer tensile strength and can withstand extremely high temperatures.

Titanium Plates FAQs
Titanium is a popular material in a variety of industries, but what people don’t know is how much it’s used in the medical world.
Titanium is known for its strength and resistance to corrosion, along with being biocompatible, making it the perfect material for medical implants to add structure while a bone is healing. Titanium plates can last for over 20 years in the human body, making them a cost-effective and reliable metal to use.
The metal can also be used for dentistry equipment. It can be cleaned easily and lasts a lifetime, so is a lot cheaper than materials like steel.
The cost of a titanium plate depends on the size, thickness and grade you need. If you email your dimensions to us at info@titek.co.uk, one of our team will be in touch with an estimated price for you.

Titanium is strong, can be plated with other metals and is resistant to corrosion, making it popular in a range of different industries. For example:
- Jewellery is often made from titanium before it’s plated in gold or silver
- Many parts of our mobile phones are made from titanium because of its ability to conduct heat and electricity
- Sporting equipment, such as tennis rackets, are often made from titanium – as it’s strong and able to withstand heavy use.
