Titanium Application-3
Chemical Processing
Many chemical processing operations specify titanium to increase equipment life. It offers lifecycle cost advantages over copper, nickel, and stainless steel grades while providing initial cost advantages over materials such as high nickel alloys, tantalum, and zirconium.
Other Industries
Titanium alloys are used in dozens of other industrial purposes, such as flue gas desulphurisation for pollution control, PTA plants for polyester production, pressure vessels, heat exchangers, and hydrometallurgical autoclaves. Each grade is tailored to specific operating conditions, emphasizing strength for different pressures, alloy content for different corrosive agents, and ductility for different fabrication requirements.
