Currently titanium has a very wide range of applications in many areas, because under the same strength, titanium is only half the weight of steel, its light weight and high hardness characteristics, so titanium is very suitable for aerospace.
Titanium production can also be used to measure a country's military level. And throw titanium metal into the sea water immersion for a long time, titanium will not have any problems, this is because titanium and oxygen has a strong affinity, so in contact with oxygen, it will form a layer of dense oxidation film on the surface to prevent the reaction to continue.
Because titanium is dispersed in nature and difficult to extract, it is considered a rare metal, although it is relatively abundant, ranking tenth among all elements.
Because titanium metal is a biophilic metal, it is very biocompatible. Biocompatibility means that biomaterials produce a variety of complex biological, physical and chemical reactions in specific parts of the body, such as certain materials or drugs in contact with the body or implanted in the body to be able to? compatible? without causing harm to the human body.
It is precisely because of titanium? biophilic?
It is because of the biophilic nature of titanium that titanium is resistant to corrosion by secretions and non-toxic in the human body, and is adaptable to any sterilization method.
Titanium is therefore widely used in the manufacture of medical equipment, manufacturing human hip joints, knee joints, shoulder joints, joints, skulls and so on. It can be said that titanium is an important branch of medical materials science, we can use titanium to treat or replace the human body tissues, organs or to enhance their functions, so titanium is also a new carrier material with high technical content and high economic value, when the new muscle fiber ring wrapped in these ? Titanium Bone When new muscle fibers are wrapped around these titanium bones, these titanium bones will maintain the normal activities of the human body.
Titanium in the biomedical materials market potential demand is huge, so increase the medical titanium research and development efforts is imperative.
That is to say, it is because titanium and oxygen have a strong affinity for oxygen, contact with oxygen, the surface of the formation of a dense layer of oxidized film thus preventing the reaction from continuing. So titanium is biocompatible.
