Titanium Grade 7 (Ti Gr 7 / 3.7235 / UNS R52400) is highly valued in various industries for its excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. The following is a detailed overview of its application in structural hollow profiles (or stations):

Chemical Processing Equipment Hollow pipe and tubing: Used to construct hollow pipes that carry corrosive chemicals, acids, and other hazardous materials to ensure durability and leak-proofing.
Heat exchangers: Hollow profiles used in the manufacture of heat exchangers, where resistance to corrosion and high temperatures is crucial.

Marine Structures Support structures: Support beams and frames used in marine environments where exposure to seawater requires high corrosion resistance.
Subsea Applications: Suitable for subsea structures, including risers and manifolds, providing strength and reliability in harsh conditions.

Aerospace Parts Lightweight structures: Applied to aerospace parts where weight reduction is critical, such as wing structures and fuselage frames.
Hollow profiles for increased strength: Used for hollow profiles that require a high strength-to-weight ratio to improve the overall performance of the aircraft.

Nuclear power facilities Structural Support: Used to build support structures within nuclear reactors to ensure safety and stability in critical environments.
Containment Systems: For the design of containment systems that require rugged radiation-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials.

1. Corrosion Resistance: Excellent resistance to aggressive environments, making it ideal for chemical processing and marine applications.
2. High strength-to-weight ratio: Reduce the weight of the structure while maintaining strength, which is beneficial for aerospace and structural applications.
3. Ductility and formability: allows complex shapes and designs to adapt to various engineering requirements.
4. Temperature resistance: Maintains mechanical properties at high temperatures, suitable for high temperature applications.
5. Reduced Maintenance Requirements: Titanium’s durability minimizes maintenance requirements, thereby reducing operating costs.

Cost: The higher cost of titanium compared to traditional materials can be a barrier, although the long-term benefits often outweigh the initial expense.
Manufacturing Challenges: Requires specialized cutting and welding techniques, skilled labor and appropriate equipment.
