Titanium is highly resistant to chloride-containing media, practically all salt solutions, seawater, a range of acids, organic and inorganic chemicals and gases. The high environmental resistance is primarily based on a very thin, tenacious and highly protective surface oxide film. The oxide film provides high resistance to erosion in high velocity process streams.
titanium has only half the weight of steel. It is non-magnetic and characterized by a high melting point, high strength-to-weight ratio and a low modulus of elasticity.
