TITANIUM

 

Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a lustrous

transition metal with a silver color, low density, and high strength. Titanium is resistant

to corrosion in seawater, aqua regia, and chlorine.

​

Did you know: Titanium is as strong as steel but 45% lighter. Titanium is twice strong as

aluminum but 60% denser.

corrosion resistant

 

Some metals and metal alloys are more corrosion-resistant than others. With each kind of metal, there are different grades, with varying corrosion resistance.

 

A few examples are:

​

1. Carbon Steel (known as regular steel).

2. Galvanized Steel (a coated layer of zinc standing between the elements and the interior gives galvanized steel a measure of corrosion resistance).

3. Aluminum (which has the power to create its own corrosion-resistant coating).

4. Stainless Steel (its corrosion-proof qualities are tied to their chromium content. More chromium equals more resistance).

5. Nickel Alloys (nickel as the principal element is used extensively because of its corrosion resistance, high-temperature strength, and special magnetic and thermal expansion properties).

6. Red Metals (copper, brass, and bronze) are the most expensive because of their beauty, but are equally as corrosion resistant as stainless steel).

HIGH TEMPERATURE

 

A superalloy, or high-performance alloy, is an alloy that exhibits several key characteristics, including excellent mechanical strength, resistance to thermal creep deformation, good surface stability, and resistance to corrosion or oxidation. The crystal structure is typically face-centered cubic austenitic.

​

Superalloys develop high-temperature strength through solid solution strengthening. An important strengthening mechanism is precipitation strengthening, which forms secondary phase precipitates such as gamma prime and carbides. Oxidation or corrosion resistance is provided by elements such as aluminum and chromium.

STAINLESS STEEL

 

In metallurgy, stainless steel (also known as inox steel or inox, from the French ‘inoxydable’) is a steel alloy, with a minimum of 10.5% chromium content by mass and a maximum of 1.2% carbon by mass. Stainless steels are most notable for their corrosion resistance, which increases with increasing chromium content.

 

Did you know: When stainless steel parts such as nuts and bolts are forced together,

the oxide layer can be scraped off causing the parts to weld together.

​

RED METALS

​

This category includes copper and its alloys, brass and bronze. These are

the luxury metals. They're at least as corrosion resistant as stainless steel, but are

very expensive. When they oxidize, the red metals don’t corrode, but they do

turn a bit green from oxygen exposure.
 

​

HASTELLOY

​

Hastelloy has high resistance to uniform attack, outstanding localized corrosion

resistance, excellent stress corrosion, cracking resistance, and ease of welding and

fabrication. Hastelloy Alloy possesses outstanding resistance to non-oxidizing acids,

such as hydrochloric acid and sulfuric acid.

​

ALUMINUM

 

Aluminum (also spelled aluminum) is a chemical element with the symbol Al and

atomic number 13. It is a silvery-white, soft, non-magnetic, and ductile metal in the boron

group. Pure aluminum is relatively soft and not the strongest of metals. However, when melted

together with other elements such as copper, manganese, silicon, magnesium, and zinc,

it forms alloys (a substance composed of two or more metals, or of a metal and a nonmetal) with a wide range of useful properties.
 

​

KIRKSITE

 

Kirksite is a moderate strength zinc-base alloy that was developed primarily as a

forming tool alloy. Dies cast from Kirksite provide low-cost tooling because the alloy

can be accurately cast, requiring a minimum of finishing.
 

​

MARAGING STEEL

​

This is a steel alloy, containing up to 25 percent nickel and other metals,

strengthened by a process of slow cooling and age hardening.

 

TYPES:

C 250  C300 C350
 

​

MOLYBDENUM

 

Molybdenum has corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength.

Grades of stainless steel containing molybdenum are generally more corrosion

resistant than molybdenum-free grades. They are used in applications that are more

corrosive, such as chemical processing plants or marine applications.
 

​

ALLOY STEEL

 

Alloy steel is steel that is alloyed with a variety of elements in total amounts between

1.0% and 50% by weight to improve its mechanical properties. Alloy steels are broken

down into two groups: low alloy steels and high alloy steels.

​

INVAR

Invar, also known generically as FeNi36 (64FeNi in the US), is a nickel-iron alloy notable

for its uniquely low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE or α).
