Figure 1 shows several common uses of titanium metal.

Three panels showing uses of titanium metal: Panel A shows a jet engine turbine; Panel B shows an industrial chemical reactor; Panel C shows a prosthetic hip replacement joint.

Describe how the properties of titanium metal make it a suitable material for the uses shown in Figure 1.

Your answer should include:

  • the applications of titanium shown in the diagram
  • the specific physical and chemical properties of titanium metal that make it suitable for each application, with reference to:
    • density and mechanical strength (strength-to-weight ratio)
    • corrosion resistance and chemical reactivity
    • melting point
    • physiological compatibility (biocompatibility)
