Because of its strength, unique density, and corrosion resistance, titanium tubes are used for high-quality products destined for many industries.
Titanium tubing is often higher performing than competing materials like stainless steel or super alloys because it is so lightweight and corrosion-resistant.
High Strength-to-Weight Ratio
The density of titanium is about 60 percent of that of steel- or nickel-based alloys. This provides significant weight savings in aerospace structures. The tensile strength is higher than that of austenitic or ferritic stainless steel.
Titanium tubes are also exceptional when it comes to corrosion resistance, outperforming stainless steels in most environments. It is non-magnetic and has good heat transfer properties, with a higher melting point than steel alloys.
Ultimate Performance
Titanium tubing is easily worked. Combine that with its strength, stiffness, toughness and heat resistance and it’s a very desirable metal for high-performance metal tubing.
