Application of titanium in daily life
Titanium is a chemical element, chemical symbol Ti, atomic number 22, is a silver-white transition metal, characterized by light weight, high strength, metallic luster, also has good corrosion resistance (including seawater, aqua regia and chlorine). Because of its stable chemical properties, good resistance to high temperature, low temperature, strong acid, strong alkali, as well as high strength and low density, it is reputed as "space metal". Titanium is considered a rare metal due to its dispersion and difficulty in extraction in nature, but it ranks tenth in relative abundance among all elements.
Titanium and its alloys can be fused with iron, aluminum, vanadium or molybdenum and other elements into alloys, made of titanium alloy with light specific gravity, high strength, no corrosion and no color and other characteristics, in many areas of daily life have uses.
Sporting goods: Because titanium alloy is an excellent material for sporting goods. For example, Ti-6A1-4V golf heads(titanium golf heads) are popular among sports fans in the United States, Japan and Europe, and the amount of titanium used in the manufacture of titanium golf clubs is as high as 6,000 tons per year. In addition, titanium alloy is also widely used in sports products such as tennis rackets, badminton rackets, ski poles, snow shovels, mountaineering ice poles, mountaineering nails, sledges, fencing protective masks, fishing poles and bicycles.
Spectacle frame: the advantage that titanium spectacle frame is anticorrosion, do not change color, qualitative light sheet wears only 10-20G weight, because this is very popular with consumer. At present, the glasses sold on the market have pure titanium products, Ti-Ni super elastic products and other titanium products. It is reported that hundreds of tons of titanium are consumed in Japan every year to make titanium frames.
Watches: Watches with titanium cases are already on the market. Dozens of watch factories around the world already produce the watches. There are all-titanium cases, titanium-tungsten alloy cases and more, as well as special titanium watches for athletes and divers.
Other titanium daily necessities: such as knives, spoons, forks, plates and other tableware. Camera, handbag, thermos flask, seal, earrings, bracelets, rings, necklaces, tie pins, brooches and other accessories.
The characteristics and applications of titanium have been paid more and more attention by people, and titanium has been used in different degrees in daily life. Titanium has become one of the indicators to measure the level of national living standards. With the improvement of people's living standards, titanium will have a more extensive application prospect.
