As a leading supplier of Titanium Mill Products and Anodes, we provide high-performance materials that are essential components across the world's most demanding sectors. Titanium's unique combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility makes it the material of choice for applications ranging from deep-sea exploration to high-speed flight.
Our materials and products are engineered to meet the stringent requirements of several key industries, where reliability and longevity are paramount.
The aerospace sector is the largest consumer of titanium, primarily due to the metal's exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and ability to withstand high operating temperatures. The use of titanium alloys, such as Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5), is critical for improving fuel efficiency and performance.
Applications: Jet engine components (blades, discs, casings), airframe structures, landing gear, fasteners, and hydraulic tubing.
Key Benefit: Up to 50% lighter than steel with comparable strength, and excellent resistance to fatigue and creep at high temperatures.
Titanium is virtually immune to corrosion in many aggressive chemical environments, making it indispensable for the Chemical and Industrial Processing industries. It is particularly effective in handling chlorides, wet chlorine gas, and oxidizing acids.
Applications: Heat exchangers, pressure vessels, reactors, columns, pumps, valves, and piping systems (using Grade 2, 7, and 12).
Key Benefit: Superior resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion, leading to significantly longer equipment lifespan and reduced maintenance costs.
Commercially Pure (CP) titanium (especially Grade 1 and Grade 23 ELI) is highly valued for its biocompatibility, non-toxicity, and non-magnetic properties. It is the only metal that the human body does not reject, making it ideal for permanent implants.
Applications: Orthopedic implants (hip and knee replacements), bone screws, dental implants, surgical instruments, and pacemakers.
Key Benefit: Complete biocompatibility, excellent osseointegration (ability to fuse with bone), and high fatigue strength.
In marine environments, titanium's absolute immunity to seawater corrosion is its most critical advantage. It maintains its integrity indefinitely in deep-sea and coastal applications where stainless steel and other alloys fail.
Applications: Submersible components, heat exchangers (for cooling systems), ballast water treatment systems, piping for offshore oil platforms, and ship propellers.
Key Benefit: Total resistance to saltwater corrosion and biofouling, ensuring reliable performance in harsh, submerged conditions.
Beyond the core sectors, titanium is playing an increasingly vital role in new and specialized markets that demand high-performance materials.
Titanium is crucial in power plants, particularly in condensers and heat exchangers that use brackish or seawater for cooling. In desalination plants, its corrosion resistance is key to the longevity of the entire system.
Applications: Condenser tubing, heat exchanger plates, and piping for Multi-Stage Flash (MSF) and Reverse Osmosis (RO) plants.
Key Benefit: Prevents costly failures and downtime associated with corrosion in cooling and process water systems.
The automotive industry uses titanium to reduce vehicle weight and improve engine performance. While cost-intensive, its use is growing in high-performance and luxury vehicles.
Applications: Engine valves, connecting rods, exhaust systems, and suspension springs.
Key Benefit: Significant weight reduction leads to improved fuel economy and higher RPM capability in engines.
Our Titanium Anodes are at the forefront of the electrochemical industry, which includes the rapidly expanding market for Green Hydrogen production.
Applications: Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) anodes for Chlor-Alkali production, Cathodic Protection (ICCP), and Iridium-based anodes for water electrolysis (Green Hydrogen).
Key Benefit: Dimensionally stable, high energy efficiency, and long service life for critical electrochemical processes.

Q: Why is titanium preferred over stainless steel in marine applications?
While stainless steel (even high-grade alloys) is susceptible to crevice corrosion and pitting in stagnant or low-flow seawater, titanium is virtually immune. This makes titanium the only reliable, long-term material for submerged components and piping in seawater.
Q: What makes titanium suitable for medical implants?
Titanium is biocompatible, meaning it is non-toxic and not rejected by the body. It also has a modulus of elasticity closer to that of human bone than stainless steel, which reduces stress shielding and promotes better long-term integration (osseointegration).
Q: Which titanium product is used in the Chlor-Alkali industry?
The Chlor-Alkali industry primarily relies on Mixed Metal Oxide (MMO) coated Titanium Anodes, which are essential for the energy-efficient production of chlorine and caustic soda.
