Industry and for other purposes can be easily combined with any other of titanium elements such as iron and aluminum to create a strong lightweight alloys used in jet engines, missiles, chemical production, automotive industry, agriculture, medicine, sports and more.
William Gregor in English, which found the metal in 1791, it was, however, Martin Heinrich Klaproth, Heinrich, who created the name after the mythological Titans of titanium.
Except from titanium industrial uses for the metal is now used in body jewelry. Jewelers are preferred over other metals for titanium in its properties. Metal does not react to much stimuli by making them ideal for people who are sensitive to other materials. Plus, it is very durable, light weight and will not rust or corrode, under normal conditions of use.
In fact, the Titan's ability to prevent corrosion is one of the most notable properties. The metal becomes very close to the Platinum anti-corrosive properties. It may take most of the metal, such as sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid acids. It will take for the risk weighting of exposures to moist chlorine gas and chloride solutions as well as salt solutions.
Metal can do more damage from water hammer or corrosion resistance by higher temperatures. But even if the store or use metal room temperature, it is still opposed to tarnishing. Other features include titanium paramagneettisia or who have low attracted magnets and low conductivity of electricity and heat.
Why do people become allergic to metal body jewelry, first? The amount of nickel, how safe are normally set up, and how to reduce the risk of Allergen, it is. Nickel, the problem is that it is generally not compatible. This causes problems when the metals used in jewelry, or through the skin of the collision. Body jewelry buying you because body ornaments, of base metal and nickel content.
Sterling Silver, for example, is the only. 925% Silver. Other% consists of other metals, which can cause irritation, tarnishing, when it comes to air and fluids. Gold, in particular the higher qualities of 24 karat gold, such as contains less nickel than sterling silver.
However, gold and sterling silver, the problem is that they are soft. Both of these metals are susceptible to nicks and dents, which can be used for breeding grounds for bacteria, which in turn cause allergic reactions or infections.
Surgical stainless steel (SSS) is perhaps the most popular metal used in body jewelry. Metal has a strong and almost flawless finish. Plus, in the case of allergic reactions are much less for silver and gold, as compared to the SSS. SSS is still, however, include the use of metal, nickel and irritation as the body jewelry is possible, in particular, if a person has a low tolerance for an enormous amount of nickel
The next best thing since the SSS is Niobium. This metal is slightly heavier, SSS, but it is also a little stronger. What is good about Niobium is reactive. Most people have the opportunity to use them as the institution of the jewelry a little or not at all a problem at all.
The only problem, which is higher than the costs arising from the purchase of metal. Niobium is still cheaper than Titanium and Niobium to most people choose the middle ground between the SSS, and titanium.
Titanium metal is highly available, and the highest class, which is almost not at all, the presence of nickel. The metal is below. 05% nickel. From scratches and dents in the surface of the metal is made because of its strength.
