Titanium alloy has created many firsts, which are needed for military, daily life, and medical purposes

In 2011, a French female singer sang a song called "Titanium", with lyrics full of inspiration and inspiration:

I am titanium

(I'm not bad, Kong)

You shot me down but I won't fall

(Even if you hit me, I won't fall down)

The Titanium mentioned in the song is actually a type of metallic titanium, which is not unfamiliar to workers in the non-ferrous metal field, but for most people, it may only exist in the understanding of the periodic table. In recent years, the development momentum of titanium has been rapid, not only widely used in the field of technology, but also quietly entering the daily life of the public. Therefore, titanium is also known as the "metal of the 21st century". Today, let's explore in which fields titanium has demonstrated its "talent".

"Titanium is hard", it has become the only aircraft in the world that has not been shot down

The Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft is the crystallization of American technology in the last century, and the most well-known war they participated in was the Vietnam War. It cannot be denied that the Blackbird reconnaissance aircraft had outstanding performance in the war. In the entire war, the United States deployed Blackbird reconnaissance planes no less than 200 times, and even though Vietnam used the most advanced anti-aircraft missiles at the time, they were still unable to shoot down the Blackbird reconnaissance planes. In addition to marveling at the advanced technology of the pilots, the flexibility and high-speed performance of the Blackbird are also surprising.

"Titanium stability" is the only submarine that magnetic mines cannot attack

The development and utilization of the ocean by humans has a long history. Titanium has excellent corrosion resistance to seawater and can be stored in the deep sea for a long time without rusting. The oxygen content in the air and the surface of titanium will form a dense and sturdy layer of titanium dioxide, which protects the titanium body from corrosion. Even after wear, it will quickly self heal and regenerate.

The 705 type attack nuclear submarine is a nuclear submarine that uses a titanium alloy hull. It is not only the smallest tonnage, fastest speed, deepest diving, highest automation, and titanium alloy hull among the batch built attack nuclear submarines in the world, but also the nuclear submarine with the least full combat personnel and the lowest cost-effectiveness ratio in the Soviet Union/Russia so far. The 705 attack nuclear submarine, which emerged in the early 1970s, has attracted widespread attention worldwide. From design and construction to service, it has always been controversial and is also known as a "nuclear submarine that transcends the times". It has epoch-making significance in the history of Soviet submarine construction.

"Titanium looks good", creating LV's only priceless bag


Titanium is a stable metal with high hardness and light weight, which will not rust or deteriorate, and is not allergic to the human body. Titanium is beneficial to the human body and quite safe, making it very suitable for the body. Therefore, titanium products will generate stable body currents, which can relieve muscle tension, relax the mind, gradually relax the muscles, and improve motor function. LV has applied it to the surface of bags and ready to wear clothing, which can be said to be very forward-looking.

"Titanium is expensive", creating the only phone case in the world that can compare in price to an iPhone

Have you heard that titanium can also be used to make phone cases? I believe many people will share the same feeling that the lifespan of ordinary phone cases we purchase usually does not exceed three months. BRIKK, an accessory manufacturer based in Los Angeles, USA, has utilized the characteristics of titanium to create a lightweight, corrosion-resistant, scratch free, and non curved phone case using pure titanium. Not only is it very practical, but its appearance is also particularly domineering and cool.

"Titanium is important", it is a precious gift from heaven to humanity

Titanium does not contain harmful heavy metals, is non-toxic and has good compatibility with human tissues and blood. Titanium is widely used in medical devices, artificial joints, orthopedic implants, cardiac pacemakers, etc. In daily life, titanium can also coexist harmoniously with people without being magnetized, such as glasses, teeth, pacemakers, medical implant materials, golf clubs, outdoor tools, and so on. The various advantages of titanium alloy have indeed attracted people's attention, and its application fields will gradually expand, especially in the civilian industry.
