Titanium holds a special place in our hearts and has been a core material in our extensive portfolio for many years. To meet growing demand from aerospace, medical and other sectors, Alleima operates dedicated titanium mills or “lines” in the US and Europe – meeting some of the highest industry requirements.
Typical applications include tubing for the aerospace industry and heat-exchangers.
Our titanium tubing is available in size range outside diameter 9.53–38.1 mm (3/8–1½ in.) with wall thicknesses from 0.7 to 5 mm (0.0275 to 0.1968 in.). The titanium tubes tubes are delivered in straight lengths or as U-bent tubes.
Mills in the US and Europe
Alleima has a long history of producing high-quality titanium tubes, bars, and other products, trusted across industries for their exceptional performance. Known for its corrosion resistance, light weight, strength, and biocompatibility, titanium from Alleima is a cornerstone material in medical implants and devices, as well as in demanding chemical processing and aerospace applications.
When stainless steel is insufficient
Titanium tubing is frequently chosen when stainless steel does not meet the performance requirements. While most of our requests are for the aerospace applications, medical and heat exchangers, its versatility has led to interest across a wide range of sectors. Here are a few examples:
Industries served
- Aerospace and defense (hydraulic systems, fuel lines, structural components)
- Medical industry (surgical instruments, orthopedic implants, screws, plates, etc.)
- Chemical processing (heat exchangers, condensers, piping systems)
- Marine and offshore (shipbuilding, oil rigs, subsea equipment)
- Energy sector (power plants, nuclear reactors, renewable energy – geothermal & solar)
- Automotive and motorsport (exhaust systems, engine components performance parts)
- Sports goods and lifestyle products (golf clubs, bikes, tennis rackets, etc.)
Key advantages
With its high strength-to-weight ratio, there’s a reason why titanium is regarded as the perfect choice for industries like aerospace, medical, automotive and marine. Here are a few key benefits:
- High strength-to-weight ratio: Titanium is lightweight yet exceptionally strong, ideal for high-performance applications.
- Excellent corrosion resistance: Highly resistant to rust and chemical degradation, even in harsh environments.
- Good durability: High fatigue resistance and long lifespan under stress.
- Superb biocompatibility: Safe for medical and aerospace uses due to its non-toxic nature.
- Strong heat resistance: Maintains strength and stability at high temperatures.
- Low maintenance: Requires minimal upkeep due to its resilience.
