This section introduces applications of processing using titanium.
Titanium is a material with excellent high strength and light weight. Compared to iron, it is approximately twice as strong and about half as light. Furthermore, its stable oxide film provides high corrosion resistance, particularly in seawater. It is non-toxic, highly biocompatible, and resistant to degradation over time, making it suitable for recycling. It is known as a widely used material that is kind to both people and the environment. Tensile strength varies depending on the type, and alloys are also available.
