The characteristics of titanium are combined with high strength, steel, hardness, low density and high corrosion resistance at very low given temperatures, and titanium alloys are widely used in space structural materials that need to reduce weight and other areas that require high performance.

The atomic weight of titanium is 47.88. Titanium is a light metal with certain strength and corrosion resistance and exists in large quantities in nature. Titanium and its alloys have tensile strength that can reach from 30,000 psi to 200,000 psi (210-210 MPa), which is a great advantage in most alloy steels that have been discovered. Titanium is a low-density element (its density is about 60% of iron), sadly strengthened and deformed, titanium is a non-ferromagnetic material, and has high thermal conductivity. Its thermal expansion coefficient is lower than that of steel and is the general thermal expansion coefficient of aluminum alloy.

Another useful property of titanium alloys is that they are 400°F higher than steel and 2000°F higher than aluminum to reach a melting point of 3135°F (1725°C). Titanium can be passivated, thus showing a high degree of resistance to most inorganic acids and chlorides, titanium is non-toxic and commonly used with biomedical materials such as human tissue and bone, plus excellent strength corrosion resistance and biocompatibility, titanium and its alloys are used in chemical and petrochemical industries, Marine environments and biomaterials applications.

Titanium is not a good electrical conductor. If the conductivity of copper is considered to be 100%, the conductivity of titanium is 3.1%. From this point below, titanium will not use good electrical conductivity is a major factor. For comparison, stainless steel is 3.5% and has electrical conductivity, and aluminum has a conductivity of 30%. Resistance is a hindrance to the fluidity of a material to electrons. Since titanium is a poor conductor, it is fair resistance.
