Application of Titanium in the Aviation Industry

The specific strength (strength and importance ratio) of titanium and its alloys is very high in metal structural materials. Its strength is equivalent to that of steel, but its importance is only 57% of steel. In addition, titanium and its alloys have strong heat resistance, can still maintain good strength and stability in the atmosphere at 500 ℃, and the working temperature can be even higher in a short time. Whereas at 150 ° C, aluminum loses its original mechanical properties at 310 ° C.
When aircraft missiles and rockets fly at high speeds, their engine and surface temperatures are quite high, and aluminum alloys are no longer capable, and titanium alloys are very suitable. It is precise because titanium and its alloys have the comprehensive and excellent properties of high strength, lightweight, and high heat resistance. When it is used to replace other metals in aircraft manufacturing, it can not only extend the life of the aircraft but also reduce its weight. Greatly improve its flight performance. Therefore, titanium is one of the most promising structural materials for the aviation and aerospace industries.
The amount of titanium used in aircraft engines has increased, and the fuselage also partially requires titanium. For airplanes with Mach numbers greater than 3.5, the engine inlet temperature is already high, so it cannot have high impact strength and can withstand high pressure and vibration. Therefore, titanium and its alloys are only used in the manufacture of engine casings and structural components on rockets, missiles, and spacecraft, and also in the manufacture of high-pressure vessels, such as high-pressure gas cylinders and low-temperature liquid fuel tanks. In addition, titanium and its alloys have applications in atomic energy reactors and military weapons.
