Titanium TC4

While not technically a steel, Titanium TC4 is often compared to stainless materials because of its incredible natural corrosion resistance. It forms a stable, protective oxide layer instantly upon exposure to air or water. This makes it virtually immune to atmospheric corrosion, saltwater, and many aggressive chemicals, often outperforming high-grade stainless steels in extreme environments.

Titanium TC4 is world-renowned for its high specific strength (strength-to-weight ratio). It provides the tensile strength of many high-alloy steels but at only 60% of the weight. This allows engineers to design parts that are incredibly rugged and durable without the heavy mass associated with traditional iron-based metals.

Yes, Titanium TC4 is the industry standard for medical and dental implants. Its total biocompatibility means the human body does not reject it, and it has the unique ability to allow bone to grow directly onto the surface (osseointegration). Our 3D printing process can even create porous "lattice" structures to further improve this biological bonding.

Unlike many aluminum alloys that lose strength as they heat up, Titanium TC4 maintains its excellent mechanical properties at elevated temperatures. It features low thermal conductivity and high heat resistance, making it an essential material for aerospace engine components, exhaust systems, and high-speed automotive parts.
