Characteristic of Titanium
- Light weight
- With a specific gravity of 4.51, Ti is about half as heavy as copper and approximately 40% lighter than steel.
- Excellent corrosion resistance (to sea water)
- Ti is as corrosion-resistant as platinum in seawater. This is better than any other major metals.
- High strength
- Ti is some 6 times as strong as Al and twice as strong as Fe per weight.
- Non-toxicity．Fit for the human body
- Safe and friendly to the human body – no metallic allergy
- Non-combustibility．Heat resistance
- Titanium mill products have also been approved as non-combustible lic materials
- Shape memory property

- Pot, Spectacle frame, Watch, Camera, Attached case, Accessories, Chinese pot.
- High melting point of 1,668℃ (a little higher than steel.)
- Light specific gravity of 4.51 (some 60% of steel, about 1.7 times of aluminum)
- Small coefficient of thermal expansion of 8.4 x 10-6/K (half of 18-8 stainless steel, 1/3 of aluminum)
- Small coefficient of thermal conductivity of 17w/m．k (nearly equal to 18-8 stainless steel)
- High electrical resistance of 0.55μΩ．m (higher than pure metals except 18-8 stainless steel)
