CORROSION RESISTANCE OF TITANIUM

Abstract

In 1950, only a handful of British manufacturers had ever considered the possibility of using titanium as a structural metal. They were all in the aircraft industry, where the search for light, strong materials was reaching a fresh peak of urgency. Ten years later, titanium is almost a commonplace in aircraft and chemical engineering; is rapidly establishing itself in the dyeing, bleaching, paper‐making and petroleum industries; and is stimulating designers of such diverse equipment as surgical implants and nuclear reactor components.
