Introduction
Titanium rods are essential for producing titanium alloys and raw titanium materials. They feature low density, high strength, and excellent corrosion resistance, making them indispensable in:
Aerospace: Aircraft structural components, rocket nozzles,
hydraulic systems, honeycomb panels.
Chemical industry: Catalyst carriers, electrolyte purification
devices.
Mechanical industry: Heat exchangers, condensers.
Medical industry: Surgical tubing, implants, prosthetics.
Marine, sports, and oil & gas industries.
Titanium can be easily fabricated, welded, and formed into tubes, rods, bars, and other shapes, making it versatile for modern industrial operations.
