Titanium foil exhibits a unique combination of properties including excellent corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, and outstanding strength to weight ratios.
Titanium foil is produced as commercially pure or alloyed. Commercially pure titanium foil is typically used in implantable medical applications whereas the titanium alloys are produced with the addition of vanadium or aluminum for applications such as aerospace.
Hamilton Precision Metals processes strip and foil products in
Titanium CP (Grade 1, Grade 2, Grade 4) and
Titanium 3Al-2.5V (Grade 9).
