In his article Titanium: Available and affordable material of construction for industrial applications, Charles Young, Metallurgist and Business Development Manager at Tricor Metals, discusses the notion of how titanium is commonly used in aerospace and airplane applications, when really, it can be used for so much more. Many associate the word titanium with expensive, when in reality, it is actually cost effective. Many would also think unobtainable, when it is readily available.
While a majority of the titanium used today goes into the aerospace industry, there has been much progress made in the use of titanium in the corrosion control market in chemical processing, refining, offshore, and other industrial markets, Young explains. In fact, the use of titanium continues to grow as more and more design engineers, process engineers, reliability engineers, plant engineers, and company executives understand the value of this metal and its alloys, and specify its use for their projects that require corrosion resistance.
