We are renowned for the manufacture of Titanium fittings - Pulpits, Pushpits, Chainplates, Stanchions, Steering wheels, Quadrants, Headboards and Tillers are just some of the items we have fabricated in Titanium.
Weight - Titanium has a high strength to weight ratio which can justify the extra cost of the material and specialist fabrication cost.
Strength - On a strength to weight basis, pure titanium with a density of 4.51g/cm3 is superior to most other structural metals. In alloy form it possesses approximately twice the strength of Stainless Steel 316 and 3 - 5 times the strength of aluminum. For equal strength weight savings of 45% can be achieved by replacing Stainless Steel with Titanium Alloy.
Corrosion Resistance - Titanium rapidly acquires a tenacious oxide film when exposed to air. The invisible film, consists of titanium dioxide which acts as a effective barrier again corrosion of the underlying metals. The film is self-healing and reforms almost instantaneously if mechanically damaged.
