Utilization of titanium alloys in army and industrial applications

Titanium alloys are widely utilized in airplanes, armor plating, marine ships, spacecrafts and military hardware because of their properties like high tensile power to density ratio, fatigue resistance, high crack résistance as well as tendency to survive moderately high temperatures in the lack of creeping. To enable titanium mesh for the above utilization first titanium alloyed with aluminum, zirconium, nickel, vanadium and some supplementary metals that are utilized for a range of substances that include significant structural parts, fire walls, landing gear, exhausting ducts in helicopters and hydraulic systems. Actually to prepare aircrafts engines and frames approximately two thirds of all manufactured titanium mesh is utilized.

The SR-71 Blackbird was one of the first aircrafts whose structure was manufactured with titanium that inspired the modern technology to apply titanium in army and industrial aircrafts. In the manufacture of Boeing and airbus a huge quantity of titanium sheet is used, for example: Boeing 777 takes 59 metric tons of titanium. Similarly Boeing 747, Boeing 737, Airbus A340, Airbus A330 and Airbus A320 use 45 metric tons,18 metric tons, 32 metric tons, 18 metric tons and 12 metric tons respectively. However Airbus A380 use 77 metric tons of titanium sheet for its manufacturing but only in the engines it consumes 11 metric tons of titanium. In engines, Titanium is consumed in preparing rotators, compressor blades, hydraulic system apparatus and nacelles. According to the titanium 6AL-4V approximately 50% of all alloys are utilized in aircrafts uses.

Titanium mesh is applied to propeller shafts and rigging as well as in the heat exchangers of desalination plants, heater-chiller for salt water aquariums, fishing line and leader and also for diver's knives, because titanium has high corrosion resistance against sea water. Titanium sheet is also helpful in the preparation of housings and supplementary substances of sea-organized scrutiny as well as supervising components meant for technical and army utilization. Methods of Manufacturing of submarines through the hulls of titanium alloys were suggested by the earlier Soviet Union. Methods that Soviet Union discovered were utilized to turn titanium mesh into big vacuum pipes.

In chemical and petrochemical manufacturing welded titanium pipes and process apparatus like heat exchanger, tanks process vessels, valves are used mainly for corrosion resistance. Specific alloys like titanium beta C alloy have high strength and corrosion resistance, due to this they are mainly utilized in down hole and hydrometallurgy features. Not only in chemical industry, titanium mesh and titanium sheets are also utilized in paper and pulp industry.

In this department titanium sheet is utilized in process equipment that is showing to corrosive media like sodium hypochlorite or wet chlorine gas (that is used in bleachers). Titanium mesh is also used in ultrasonic welding, wave soldering as well as in sputtering objects. A colorless liquid of titanium, Titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) is very helpful intermediate in the reaction of preparation of TiO2 as well as it is utilized in the production of Ziegler-Natta catalyst. Since it stinks strongly in humid air, hence it is helpful to prepare smoke screens. One another use of titanium tetrachloride is to iridize glass.
