Very lightweight, exceptionally durable and resistant to extreme temperatures and corrosion, titanium sheets and plates are exceptionally popular in a wide range of industries.
If you work in construction, engineering, medicine or any other similar industry, you’re likely to come across titanium as a key material on a very regular basis.
In this article, we’ll look at a few of the ways in which titanium sheets can be used, as well as detailing a few of the services provided by the experts at Ti-TEK UK when it comes to the provision and handling of titanium products.
The Applications of Titanium Plates and Sheets
The versatility of titanium is extremely impressive.
One of the most popular means of using this particular metal is in sheet form. Highly durable even at its thinnest, titanium as a sheet is even more lightweight and versatile than in its other forms.
Thanks to these facets – and to its ability to resist extremes of temperature – this form of the metal is regularly used in aerospace engineering as the central material in a firewall or protective shield as well as commonly appearing as components in engines.
Oil rigs and petroleum processing plants also make regular use of titanium sheets thanks to its strength, lightness and resistance to corrosion.
In the automotive industry, the material’s capacity to be easily stamped or cut into tiny, durable components is ideal when creating small springs or pins. Titanium exhausts are also regularly used in this field.
Of course, the metal is also available in a range of other forms, including titanium bars and rods which are regularly used in the medical industry to stabilise broken bones and replace damaged joints.
