Titanium Wire
Titanium's unique qualities make titanium wire extremely useful in many precision applications in automotive, medical and aerospace industries. As a naturally ductile metal, titanium is also quite low-fracture and can therefore be formed and stretched fairly easily into wire of various sizes. Titanium wire is often woven into cloth for filters of corrosive materials.
Being a fairly low conductor of electricity, titanium is used for low-conductive purposes in semiconductor manufacturing. Chemical industries use titanium wire for similar purposes, and medical industries use titanium wire as the lead wire for pacemakers, titanium wool for bonding prosthesis to bone and as pins, fasteners and screens in various medical and dental applications. Titanium proves extremely valuable in medical, dental and prosthetic applications because of titanium's natural inertness in the human body; where other metals can have a positive or negative reaction, or can cause allergic reactions, titanium remains completely neutral and, just as importantly, free from corrosion. Other applications for titanium wire and wire cloth include aircraft and automotive springs, fuel filtration in satellites, brushes for cleaning heat exchangers and many other applications which require strength, low density and corrosion resistance.
Without the discovery of titanium ore many medical and aerospace technologies would not be possible. The strength, corrosion resistance and sterility of titanium are unique qualities among metals and non-metals, and the higher cost of titanium refining and fabrication is far outweighed by the metal's broad and crucial spectrum of usefulness.
