There are hundreds of uses for titanium metal in applications ranging from E-beam shielding to drug delivery to aerospace surfaces and structures. Titanium (Ti) offers exceptional characteristics for high overall strength, biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and workability. Lightweight and durable under harsh temperature and chemical conditions, titanium sheet and foil materials from Arnold are available in a number of grades for various end-uses.

Customers rely on us as a thin-rolled titanium foil supplier. Ti is used in applications that demand high performance and consistent quality. These applications include fabrication of electron beam equipment for food sterilization, vulcanizing, and a variety of industrial uses; design and building of flight and aerospace vehicles; energy-related applications such as solar panels; speaker components; and medical device enclosures. Titanium's corrosion resistance means that the material can be thinner for a given application in harsh environments compared to other materials, further reducing weight. Ti boasts the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metallic element. Titanium's bio-compatibility, including non-allergenic characteristics and non-toxicity to living tissue, makes it the ideal material in many medical applications.

Clever Uses for Titanium Foil - IQS Newsroom

Clever Uses for Titanium Foil

Titanium foil is just like any other metal foil. It is a thin layer of metal made from pure titanium. Because titanium is such an expensive metal, titanium foil is also expensive. The foil can come in a variety of different thicknesses for different projects, from 0. mm to under 0. in thickness. Each thickness has its own set of uses in the industrial world. Generally, titanium is thinned out using a series of presses and rollers and the finished foil is wound around a large tube for packaging.  Some of the most common uses for foil made from titanium include:
Razors: Right now, titanium razor are extremely popular around the world. Since titanium is such a durable and expensive metal, it is the perfect material for high-end, precise razors that can cut through hairs easily and effectively. Typically, thicker foils are used to make the razors, which are stamped out of the foil with a die press.
Windscreens: Foil made of titanium is also used in windscreens. The screens are used to protect different products from the effects of the wind. You may see these screens used to protect camping stoves, paint jobs, water heaters, or other places where wind can cause problems.
Camera shutters: A camera shutter controls the movement of light inside a camera to expose the film and create a photo. Foil made from titanium is often used to make camera shutters because it is thin enough to fit inside even the smallest camera, but strong enough to withstand years of use.
Metal screens: Thicker foil is used to create metal screens for different machines and processes. Titanium is often used in aerospace planes and ships, and the metal is ideal for protecting the electronic components or other delicate pieces of a system.
