The automotive applications of titanium and its alloys follow logically from high strength, low density and, low modulus, and they have excellent resistance to corrosion and oxidation. Titanium is ...

Earlier in this series, we made the case for copper being “the metal that built technology.” Some readers took issue with that statement, noting correctly that meteoric iron and gold were worked long ...

Titanium has high resistance to oxidizing acids over a broad range of temperatures and concentrations. Standard acids in this group include nitric, perchloric, chromic, and hypochlorous (wet Cl 2) ...

Apparently, folks in the material science world are totally over the fact that we're able to 3D print titanium alloys willy-nilly. Because they have exceptional strength-to-weight ratios, corrosion ...

Titanium is fantastically expensive, and difficult to fabricate, relative to other materials—meaning it was only ever practical to use on the world’s fastest plane.
