The temporary waiver for Airbus aims to transition away from Russian titanium, while Bombardier received a similar exemption.

Product Description

Titanium, discovered in the late 18th century, is a transition metal with the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metallic element. Its silver-grey appearance and resistance to corrosion make it ideal for applications in aerospace engineering and marine and chemical industries.

Titanium's thin, protective oxide layer prevents further oxidation in harsh environments like seawater or chemical processing plants. Its biocompatibility ensures its longevity and reliability in medical applications, making it ideal for joint replacements, bone plates, and dental implants.

Additionally, titanium is highly heat-resistant and capable of withstanding extreme temperatures without losing its structural integrity, making it suitable for high-temperature applications like gas turbines, exhaust systems, and heat exchangers. Its unique properties make it a valuable asset in various industries.
