Titanium and Titanium alloys
Since the introduction of titanium and titanium alloys in the early 1950s, these materials have in a relatively short time become backbone materials for the aerospace, energy, and chemical industries.
The combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent mechanical properties, and corrosion resistance makes titanium the best material choice for many critical applications.
Today, titanium alloys are used for demanding applications such as static and rotating gas turbine engine components.
Some of the most critical and highly-stressed civilian and military airframe parts are made of these alloys.
Very expensive
Endurance like steel but quite lighter.
Biocompatible
