Titanium

Industrial pure titanium refers to several kinds of unalloyed titanium with different impurity contents such as Fe, C, N, and O. It cannot be strengthened by heat treatment, has excellent formability, and is easy to weld and braze. Used to manufacture various non-load bearing parts, the long-term working temperature can reach 300℃.
