The historical development of titanium (two)

In 1947, people began in the factory smelting titanium. That year, output was 2 tons. In 1955, the surge in production to 20000 tons. In 1972, the annual output reached 200000 tons. The yield strength of titanium are higher than steel, but it weighs almost only half the same volume of steel, Titanium Sheet Metal Price although slightly heavier than aluminum point, yield strength of it is 2 times larger than the aluminum. Titanium ratio strength higher than aluminum and steel, modulus and aluminum, steel is very close to the. In the universe of rocket and missile, a large number of titanium instead of iron. According to statistics, the world every year for the universe navigate titanium bar stock, has reached more than one thousand tons. Very fine titanium powder, or rocket good fuel, so ti is known as cosmic space metal, metal.
Titanium at elevated temperature easily and air reaction, but the high melting point of 1668 DEG C. At room temperature, titanium is not afraid of aqua regia and dilute nitric acid corrosion resistance, but not more than 5% acid corrosion and 7% hydrochloric acid corrosion. Titanium is not afraid of ambient seawater, someone had put a piece of titanium sank to the bottom of the sea, five years later to take up a see, above the sticky many small animal and marine plants, but not a bit rusty, still shining. People began to use titanium to titanium submarines -- manufacture of submarine. Since titanium is very strong, can bear high pressure, the submarine can sail at a depth of 4500 meters deep in the sea.
