Titanium alloy density is generally about 4.51g / cubic centimeter, only 60% of steel, the density of pure titanium is only close to the density of ordinary steel, some high-strength titanium alloy exceeds the strength of many alloy structural steel. Therefore, the specific strength of titanium alloy (strength / density) is much greater than other metal structural materials, can be produced unit of high strength, good rigidity, lightweight parts. Aircraft engine components, skeleton, skin, fasteners and landing gear, etc. are using titanium alloys.

Titanium alloy types
1, carbon titanium alloy (English: Carbotanium) is a blend of titanium alloy of carbon fiber reinforced polymer, at the same time has the high strength and toughness of titanium alloy, but also do not lose the lightweight quality of carbon fiber.
2, nickel titanium alloy is a shape memory alloy, shape memory alloy is able to its own plastic deformation at a particular temperature automatically return to the original shape of the special alloy. It has an expansion rate of more than 20%, a fatigue life of 1*10 to the seventh power, damping characteristics 10 times higher than ordinary springs, and its corrosion resistance is better than the best medical stainless steel, so it can meet the needs of all kinds of engineering and medical applications, and it is a kind of very good functional material.
