Key Points About the Composition
1.High Titanium Content (~99.5%)
l Ensures excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and low density.
l Provides good mechanical strength relative to its weight.
2.Low Impurity Levels
l Strict limits on oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, and carbon to maintain ductility, toughness, and weldability.
l Excessive impurities could lead to brittleness and reduced performance.
3.Iron as a Trace Element
l Small amounts of iron (Fe) enhance the strength without significantly compromising corrosion resistance.
