Description
Characteristics of Gum Metal Scrap:
- Appearance: Gum metal scrap usually appears as small pieces or fragments of metal, often with a silver-gray or slightly bluish tint, typical of titanium alloys. The surface may be slightly oxidized or tarnished, depending on its exposure to the environment.
- Texture: The texture can vary, but it generally has a smooth surface, though some pieces might be rough or uneven depending on how they were processed or cut.
- Properties: Gum metal is known for its high strength, low density, and excellent corrosion resistance. It also has a high elastic modulus, which means it can deform under stress but return to its original shape. These properties make it ideal for applications requiring durability and light weight.
Uses and Applications:
- Aerospace: Due to its strength and lightweight properties, gum metal is used in aerospace components and structures.
- Medical Devices: Its biocompatibility makes it suitable for medical implants and devices.
- High-performance Sports Equipment: It’s used in high-end sports gear and equipment where strength and weight are crucial.
