Aircraft and Aerospace Titanium

Valuable Features of Aircraft Titanium for the Aerospace Industry

Since the first aircraft was constructed at the beginning of the 20th century, metal alloys have been the industry standard for durable, lightweight materials capable of soaring through the sky. 

For over a century, the primary metals used in aviation were aluminum and steel alloys. While these metals were able to serve their purpose effectively, in recent decades, builders of aerospace aircraft have begun to see the incredible merits of titanium alloy-based materials. 

Benefits of Utilizing Titanium Alloys in Aircraft

• There are many benefits of building titanium-based aircraft, including:
• Increased formability 
• Increased strength; requires less material than aluminum or steel
• Lower density than other metal alloys 
• Increased aerodynamics
• High corrosion resistance
• Ability to withstand high temperatures
• Increased range of aircraft
• Decreased fuel use
• More cost-efficient due to using less material 

Uses of Titanium-based Aerospace Components

Titanium alloy-based metals have replaced many of the standard aluminum and steel components that have long been used in the aerospace industry. The greatest use of titanium can be seen in the aircraft’s structural frame. By using titanium, the weight of the aircraft itself decreases substantially, as well as the cost of production, as titanium frames require less material than other metals, such as aluminum, due to the increased strength provided by titanium alloys.

Additionally, titanium used for improved engine functionality is superior to other metals due to titanium’s lightweight nature, increased strength, and ability to withstand high temperatures.

Other uses of titanium alloys in the aerospace industry include:

• Landing gears
• Springs
• Flap tracks
• Tubes for pneumatic systems 
• Fuselage parts
