Titanium has good stability except in various acids, alkalis, salt media and highly corrosive aluminum chloride. Therefore, titanium is an excellent corrosion-resistant material in the chemical industry and has been used more and more widely. For example, the use of titanium anodes and titanium wet chlorine coolers in the chlor-alkali industry has achieved good economic results. It has been called a revolution in the chlor-alkali industry.
Titanium has very good stability in organic compounds except for five organic acids (formic acid, acetic acid, oxalic acid, trichloroacetic acid and trifluoroacetic acid) at higher temperatures. Therefore, titanium plate is an excellent structural material in petroleum refining and petrochemical industry, and can be used to make various heat exchangers, reactors, high-pressure vessels and distillation towers.
Titanium has good stability in corrosive hot water containing chlorides, sulfides, etc., so titanium has been widely used as cooling pipes for heat exchangers in thermal power plants. Replacing copper-nickel alloy tubes with thin-walled titanium tubes not only greatly improves the service life, but also greatly shortens the maintenance time, and the economic effect is very significant.
Titanium has good gas-absorbing properties and is widely used in electronic vacuum technology and high vacuum technology. Titanium can resist the corrosion of the human body and is harmless to the human body. It can therefore be widely used in the medical and pharmaceutical industry sectors.
