Titanium alloy is an alloy that contains a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Titanium alloy is lightweight, with very high strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures), as well as corrosion and high temperature resistance. However, due to high costs, titanium alloys are only used in military fields, airplanes, spacecraft, bicycles, medical equipment, jewelry, high stress components (such as connecting rods for sports cars), as well as some high-end sports and consumer electronics products.
However, the high cost of both raw materials and processing limit their use to military applications, aircraft, spacecraft, medical devices, highly stressed components such as connecting rods on expensive sports cars and some premium sports equipment and consumer electronics.
There are two major types of titanium alloys: Alpha and Beta. Alpha alloys contain neutral alloying elements and alpha stabilizers, such as aluminum and oxygen, while Beta alloys contain elements such as molybdenum, vanadium and titanium.
Trivia: Although "commercially pure" titanium has acceptable mechanical properties and has been used for orthopedic and dental implants, for most applications titanium is alloyed with small amounts of aluminium and vanadium, typically 6% and 4% respectively, by weight. This mixture has a solid solubility which varies dramatically with temperature, allowing it to undergo precipitation strengthening. This heat treatment process is carried out after the alloy has been worked into its final shape but before it is put to use, allowing much easier fabrication of a high-strength product.
