The market makes its space due to the multiple uses of titanium in the aviation sector. From manufacturing to the final touches, titanium is used to build different parts of the airplane. These parts involve airframes, engines, and some landing gear. Though, different kind of material is used in manufacturing these parts such as commercially pure titanium, and Ti-6AI-4V alloy.

These different grades of titanium make it up to the top and become an easy replacement for steel. Titanium is majorly used in places where heavy weight creates strain and other stuff.

Alongside this, the aviation industry is trying its best to cut unnecessary cost, and hence titanium with longer shelf life, reducing the airframe maintenance cost effectively along. The metal research and development over its implementation, application, another properties are also helping the market players produce different grades of titanium.

The lighter the weight, the more fuel can be saved and hence modern-day aircraft such as Boeing 787 Dreamliner, Airbus A350 are using titanium during manufacturing. The benefits such as advanced technological integration, improved fuel efficiency, and enhanced passenger comfort are propelling the market growth.

Latest Trends in the Market:

  • Titanium’s stiffness-to-weight ratio makes it a better substitute for steel. The ratio provides longer shelf life, strength, and effective performance to its long range of verticals. Furthermore, the aviation giants include titanium to add value to th passenger’s comfort and safety.
  • The recyclable qualities of titanium make it cost-effective for aviation companies as it can save money over the purchase of new material. Though, the quality monitoring control of any aviation space helps in choosing the best material.
  • The use of titanium in the aviation sector saves capital as titanium doesn't get rust due to its antioxidant properties. The material doesn't let rust stick to it and hence carries a longer shelf life.
