Market Overview
Titanium and titanium alloys are commercially used in the aerospace sector due to their lightweight, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance. Titanium and its alloy are the only materials related to aerospace. Titanium alloy, an alloy of pure titanium with other various metals or chemical elements is widely used in the aerospace sector including airframes, engine helicopters, and space applications. Aerospace titanium is used in aircraft, armor plating, naval ships, spacecraft, and missiles because of its high tensile strength-to-density ratio, corrosion resistance, and ability to withstand relatively high temperatures without creeping. Titanium alloys are stronger than pure titanium and are used in aircraft engines due to their lightweight, high strength (high specific strength), and heat resistance properties. Pure titanium and its alloy are commercially used for airframes and engines where formability, heat resistance, and strength are considered important. Commercially pure titanium and titanium alloy are mainly used for the airframe and the engine parts. The demand for various titanium materials for airframes and engines is increasing, accompanied by improvements in aircraft fuel consumption.
