Titanium technical features

Titanium and Titanium alloys:

Titanium is available on the market as commercially pure or as alloys. Commercially pure titanium has a hexagonal Alfa type crystalline structure and increases its mechanical resistance (ultimate strenght psi) with each grade classification (fron grade 1 to grade 5). With the addition of alloying elements such as aluminium, vanadium, and molybdenum, titanium alloys are created wich have cubic Alfa + Beta crystalline structures. These Alfa + Beta alloys are the most used commercially due to their ductile-weight-mechanical resistance relationships. Of these, the most used titanium alloys are 6A|4V (grade 5) and 3Al2,5V (grade 9) wich are used to make bolts, mechnalical components and chassis.
Show the mechanicald properties for the titanium alloy 6A|4V in comparison to the most commonly used structural materials found on the market.

TITANIUM APPLICATIONS:
Titanium and its alloys are used in all those fields in wich one or more of the following factors are important: high strength-to-weight ratio, mechanical resistance, corrosive resistance, electrical resistivity..
