Titanium Foil
Titanium is an extremely high strength metal with low density meaning its use in aerospace applications is extensive. Titanium has the highest strength-density ratio of any metallic element, and can be combined with other metals to create super strength, highly corrosion resistant alloys that are low in weight. It is 60% denser than aluminium however it is twice as strong. In addition to aerospace applications, titanium has many applications within the medical device industry as it is biocompatible as well as being safe to use during MRI scan.
Commercially pure grades are available and differ in their oxygen content which impact the ductility of the metal. There are typically 4 commercially pure grades, with grade 1 having the least Oxygen content and therefore the highest ductility, the grade 4 having the highest Oxygen content and lower ductility.
