General remarks:
- Titanium Grade 1 (non-alloy Titanium)
- Fully non-magnetisable
- Engineering material with an extraordinary combination of properties:
- low density
- strong
- very high melting point
- Good cold form ability, high ductility
- Bio compatible material; cell integrity is maintained, no inflammatory response
- Good corrosion resistance at room temperature to air, marine and industrial environments
- Generally used where corrosion resistance and high strength-to weight ratio are primary requirements
- Typical applications include tweezers for medical, surgery, magnetic fields, biology, histology and high temperature use.
