Marine Solution

Titanium metal is widely used in shipbuilding due to its resistance to salt water corrosion (seawater is the leading cause of corrosion in the marine environment). Titanium's excellent strength-to-weight ratio also makes it an ideal material for the manufacture of many parts of ships, including fuel tanks, propeller shafts and other structural components.

In deep-sea exploration, all materials that come into contact with seawater must be highly resistant to corrosion, and titanium is the ideal material for such applications. Titanium's ability to maintain integrity and corrosion resistance under high pressure makes it ideal for “down the hole” applications such as drilling equipment components.

One of the most common uses of titanium in the marine industry is the production of valves. Valves have a wide range of applications in the marine environment, including controlling water flow and regulating offshore oil and gas wells. Titanium's resistance to seawater corrosion and chemical attack ensures that these components have a longer service life than traditional materials.

Titanium alloys are known for their fatigue resistance, which is the reduction in strength that occurs when a material is subjected to cyclic loading. This property is critical for components, such as landing gear, that are subjected to repetitive stresses during each flight. The fatigue resistance of titanium alloys contributes to the overall safety and longevity of the aircraft.
