Titanium Gold, Titanium Alloy, and Pure Titanium
Jul 16, 2021
Friends who are familiar with titanium metal know that there are many sayings about titanium, such as titanium, titanium alloy, pure titanium... and what is the difference between these three? What substances are listed separately? Don't worry, let me show you one by one!
【About Titanium】
Titanium does not have a professional and accurate definition. Some people refer to titanium and titanium alloys as titanium for short, but this concept is inaccurate. There is a kind of sodium nitride crystal, especially the vacuum coating titanium nitride (also called PVD process) has a golden yellow metallic luster. In most cases, titanium gold refers to titanium nitride coating. Most companies need to deliberately confuse the concept of titanium or titanium alloy with titanium nitride in the name of titanium for marketing purposes, but titanium nitride and metallic titanium are completely two concepts, just like titanium dioxide used as a whitening agent, not at all metal.
【About Titanium Alloy】
Titanium alloy refers to the alloy material composed of other strengthening elements based on titanium, such as aluminum, nickel, chromium, copper, etc., in order to obtain higher strength, corrosion resistance, and high temperature resistance. At present, titanium alloy is the most widely used titanium metal material, and it is widely used in aviation materials, petroleum exploration, food, sports, and medical fields.
【About Pure Titanium】
Because pure titanium has better processing properties than alloys, some products that require high material forming properties are mainly pure titanium, such as pots, bowls, cups, pots and other stretch-formed products.
Therefore, the concepts of titanium, titanium alloy and pure titanium are different, and their respective scopes of application are not the same. They cannot be generalized. It is important to distinguish the concepts! If you have any questions about this, you are welcome to ask and answer questions.
