- 42% lighter than steel
Mechanical specifications:
- Breaking strength / Ultimate strength: σ s = 834-987 MPa
- Yield strength / Yield limit: σ 0.2 = 735 MPa
- Proportionality / Proportional limit: σ p = 637MPa
- Fatigue / fatigue limit: σ -1 = 520MPa
- Ductility / Ductility: δ = 10%
- Necking / Reduction of Area: Ψ = 25
- Impact / Impact Toughness: aH = 0.4 MJ / M ^ 2
Chemical Component Analysis with Optical Emission Spectrometer (OES) analysis from 08.09.2015, main components / main components [%]:
- Ti: 89.4%
- Cr. 0.04%
- Al: 6.1%
- Fe: 0.2%
- V: 4.26%
Application:
- Instruments made of titanium
The low weight of titanium tools allows a less tiring use and is more resistant than steel. The Ti 6Al4V alloy is highly corrosion resistant salty and acid environments and fluids. Titanium is hypo-allergenic and thus is ideal for people with sensitive skin. It can furthermore used in a MRI environment as titanium is MRI-conditional.
