Applications of Titanium

Other properties that make titanium a "metal of choice" are its unique "look", the fact that it is nonmagnetic and can hold strength at high temperatures, and it has a relatively high melting point. Besides a high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance in many oxidizing environments, including brackish and saltwater and biocompatibility, includes its low modulus of elasticity, giving it flexibility and good thermal conductivity.
