What is Aluminum?

Aluminum is a silvery-white, soft, strong, non-magnetic and ductile metal with good weight-to-strength ratio, good corrosion resistance and high fracture toughness. Aluminum is an economical option due to its ease of machining and cheap price.

The mechanical properties and characteristics determines aluminum is suitable for many applications. For example, aluminum can be used in conductor as its good electric conductivity, you can often found aluminum CNC machining parts in cooking devices and utensils because of its good thermal conductivity and non toxic features. Aluminum does not react to acids, but easy to corrode in alkaline environments.

What is Titanium?

Titanium is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, high strength, good thermal conductivity and good corrosion resistance, but it’s difficult to extract and machine, make it more expensive than many other metals. Titanium is also non-magnetic and non-toxic, but it’s a poor conductor of electricity. Rather than absorb heat, titanium likes to reflect it, in addition, it has a low thermal expansion.

The high biocompatibility is also a remarkable feature of titanium. The strength and safety make titanium is a great material for medical equipment, like dental implants, knee replacements, pace makers, and more, titanium machined parts also can be used in chemical and marine applications as it resistant to corrosion.
