What is the common uses of titanium?

Titanium (titanium metal, titanium alloy) tensile strength is up to 180kg/mm2. Titanium has good heat-resistant strength, low temperature toughness and fracture toughness, so widely used in producing many parts for aircraft engines and rockets, missiles, structural parts. Titanium can be made into the fuel and oxidizer tank and high-pressure container. In the oil industry, titanium were mainly used for a variety of containers, reactors, heat exchangers, distillation towers, pipes, pumps and valves and so on. Titanium can be used as electrodes and power plant condensers and environmental pollution control device. Ti-Ni shape memory alloy has been widely used. In the medical, the titanium can be used for artificial bones and variety of instruments. The titanium is also the deoxidation of steel and stainless steel and alloy steel. Titanium dioxide is a good paint materials. Titanium carbide is a new type of titanium carbide material. Titanium and titanium alloy is known as space metal and used extensively for the aviation industry. In addition, the shipbuilding industry, chemical industry, manufacture of machinery parts, telecommunications equipment, carbide, etc. jas become increasing using fields. In addition, titanium alloys also have good compatibility with human nature. So, It also can be used as man-made titanium bone.


How valuable is titanium?

The metal titanium is not as expensive as a 9 ct white gold nor is it a rare element to make it very valuable. But the labor costs to make jewelry out of titanium is higher, making it costlier.

What are the principle of radiation safety?

This depends upon if you mean protection from general radiation or once you've already been exposed. There are several foods and supplements you can take to protect from the effects. Children know Nuclear Weapons are Very Bad; it is too bad they do not understand the Vagaries of Power. It is Good that they Will.

What can't x rays show?

An X-ray can go through anything. The question is how much of it does that X-ray have to penetrate? An X-ray is a form of high energy electromagnetic radiation, and it has excellent penetrating power. It is only material with a high density that can shield us against them, and lead is a good example. Concrete is also pretty good, and it's cheap and readily available as a building material. X-rays come in a range of energies, and some (the higher energy ones) are better at going through stuff than others. X-rays penetrate all things, but go farther into things of lower density. It's a "probability" thing that determines how far X-rays will penetrate. We talk about a half-thickness of a shielding material, and that is the thickness of that material that is required to reduce a given amount of a specific radiation by half. You can see that doubling that amount of shielding will not stop all the radiation, but will still allow a quarter of it to get through. When chosing a material to shield against X-rays, things with a high density (like lead) will be more effective than less dense materials. Consideration must be given to the source and how it's being used when designing shielding around the X-ray generator.
