alloying with aluminum and "aircraft grade"

Removed statement by Highlandspring in this regard - sorry. Alloying titanium with other elemets is adequately covered in other sections; no need to get so specific, otherwise the article will never end if we discuss properties of all alloys. There are a number of alloys used in aircraft (6-6-2, 6-2-4-2, 6-2-4-6, 8-1-1, the list goes on); 6-4, or more properly 6AL-4V (Grade 5 per ASTM industrial specification) is not the only one. Unfortunately, the moniker "aircraft grade" is loose marketing verbiage used by ring and jewelry makers to impress the public. It is not used in the metallurgical / engineering community and does not belong in reference works.

6AL-4V may deserve special mention only insofar as it is, by a large margin, the most widely used alloy in aircraft production; it is consequently more readily available for non-aircraft applications.

stuff

While you will save weight cumulatively by using titanium fasteners, exhaust, etc. it is easy to sometimes lose sight of the trees for the forest... I think it is important to emphasize that often saving weight with individual components can have interesting results. With automotive applications, using Ti for valvetrain components for instance, does much more than shave a few pounds off an automobile. Valves have a tendency to float with increasing rpms despite the springs, and the primary reason for Ti as a valve is to reduce the inertia you get with a steel valve. Substituting Ti for steel can gain enough advantage to justify the expense beyond the couple of pounds you save...

Nitrides, Carbides

Added brief sentence to this section to add more base information on Titanium nitrides

"Titanium nitride (TiN) is a member of a family of refractory transition metal nitrides and exhibits properties similar to both covalent compounds including; thermodynamic stability, extreme hardness, thermal/electrical conductivity, and a high melting point.^[1]

TiO2

I found two sentences problematic, and the text sounded me as commercial partly.

1. "TiO2 powder is chemically inert, resists fading in sunlight, and is very opaque". "resists fading in sunlight" is not true but opposite. TiO2 is very photo-active substance. TiO2 pigment is aftertreated with aluminium and silicon compounds to prevent the fading in sunlight. If you write the sentence beginning TiO2 pigment... then it is true another possibility is to take the part (resists....)off

2. In addition to being a very important pigment, titanium dioxide is also used in sunscreens.[13] This is true, but in sunscreens, it is used micro or nano titanium dioxide.Sailamarja (talk) 15:59, 29 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
