Physical & mechanical properties:

Ultra-high specific strength (light weight with superior strength over steel). Excellent resistance to high/low temperature and strong corrosion. Good biocompatibility and non-magnetic.

Machinability:

Extremely low thermal conductivity and high cutting resistance. Severe tool wear. Low spindle speed and small cutting depth are required for finish machining, not suitable for high-volume roughing.

Dimensional stability:

Stable material structure with nearly zero machining deformation, capable of ultra-precision manufacturing.

Surface treatment:

Passivation and anodizing. Natural corrosion resistance eliminates extra protection.

Applications:

Aerospace components, medical implants, high-end instruments and marine equipment parts.

Advantages & Disadvantages:

Advantages: Lightweight & high strength, excellent corrosion resistance, biocompatible, all-round superior performance.

Disadvantages: High material & processing cost, long production lead time.
