Titanium metals are really popular within the scrap metal recycling realm. There are many benefits to recycling titanium such as its corrosion resistance properties and its high melting point allowing it to be recycled again and again very easily. Your Phoenix industrial business may have titanium scraps that you don’t even know about. Scraps that could help put money back into the organization as well as saving money by purchasing recycled in the first place.
Titanium scraps tend to be used to make ferrotitanium, which is used in steel making as a cleansing agent for iron and steel. Ferrotitanium is technically an alloy of iron and titanium with between 10–20% iron and 45–75% titanium and sometimes a small amount of carbon.
Industries That Use Titanium Metals
Biomedical – Being resistant from corrosion and high in strength, titanium is the most biocompatible of all metals. It’s widely used for surgical devices, dental implants, pacemakers, and even hip replacements. It fosters osseointegration which is the connection between living bone and the surface of a load-bearing artificial implant.
Chemical Industry – In the chemical processing industry, the corrosion resistance of titanium is especially important. Titanium makes for an ideal material of choice for harsh compounds such as organic acids, nitric acid, hydrogen sulfide, and more. The tough make-up of titanium allows for extended life cycles of the equipment used and reduces maintenance costs overall.
Automobile Industry Ferrotitanium is used in stainless steel, auto-grade steel, and tools and various parts within the automobile industry.
Aerospace Industry – As mentioned earlier, titanium has a strong corrosion resistance. This allows for an efficient replacement to aluminum within the ever-growing aircraft manufacturing industry. Being lightweight in nature makes titanium an optimum choice for both automobiles and aircrafts.
