High strength to Weight Ratio
Low density alloys
Titanium offers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any alloy. This material's strength is remarkable, considering its lightness.
Titanium alloys are significantly stronger than most common steels but around half the density. The alloy also provides high corrosion resistance, a feature to which steel is susceptible.
Further Comparisons
While titanium is relatively expensive compared to steel alloys, the material combines strength with considerably less weight, making it more suitable for aerospace and motorsport components.
Characteristics
Apart from offering the best strength-to-weight ratio available, titanium offers excellent strength at high temperatures, excellent corrosion resistance, and good malleability at high temperatures. We stock both commercially pure and alloyed titanium products in round bars, sheets, and tubes.

Titanium vs Aluminium
Both titanium and aluminium offer impressive material qualities, so in which circumstances would you favour titanium?
Although titanium is heavier than aluminium, you need significantly less material to achieve the same physical strength. Engineers tend to consider titanium to produce highly stressed components where weight reduction is required.
However, both alloys offer excellent capabilities, and their particular application dictates their suitability.
Stock Portfolio
We stock titanium alloys in various grades, including commercial pure and alloyed variants.
We offer a range of titanium shapes from stock, including bars, sheets and tubes.
We combine our stock, in-house processing services, and UKAS accredited metallurgical support services to offer a single supply source for your engineering raw materials.
