Manufacturers typically buy Titanium Round Bars as stock supply to then be fabricated into specific parts; however, they can also be used in concrete or structure reinforcement in construction industries. Other stock supply options include titanium plate, sheet and titanium wire. Titanium is alloyed with other metals such as iron, aluminum, vanadium and others in order to improve its physical handling characteristics. Manufacturers can determine the most suitable titanium alloy for a specific application by using the classification of titanium grades. These separate alloys into groups dependent on their composition and performance features. In addition to excellent strength, durability and resistance to both corrosion and wear and tear, titanium has a low elasticity level which can easily result in surface damage. It is also an extremely hard metal which requires careful machining techniques. Its low conductivity and temperature resistance however make titanium an excellent choice for products such as jet engines, missiles, medical prostheses, orthopedic implants and other similar applications. Resistance not only to corrosion from water, but also from acid, physical stress, oxygen, salt and microbiological elements, titanium is an ideal and effective choice for underwater, marine and shipping applications. While titanium is a relatively expensive manufacturing material choice, the benefits of its durability and strength will result in longer product life and lower maintenance costs.
