Frequently asked questions
It is a material that has high strength, good durability, and difficult processing, but it is a valuable material. However, it is due to its attributes, and at the same time, it is a unique and comparatively high material.
Titanium is highly biocompatible. It does not cause adverse reactions when in contact with human tissue, making it ideal for medical implants such as hip and knee replacements, dental implants, and surgical tools.
Yes, Ti can be machined, but it requires specialized tools and techniques due to its hardness and low thermal conductivity. CNC machining, turning, milling, and other processes are commonly used.
Challenges include titanium’s tendency to work harden, its poor thermal conductivity, and its high reactivity at elevated temperatures, which can lead to tool wear and difficulties in maintaining tight tolerances.
