Q: Why is titanium used as a material of construction?
A: Titanium is the choice of MRI, NMR, bio-medical, diagnostic imaging, PET-CT and high Tesla Magnet manufacturers because it is non-ferrous and therefore, non-magnetic. It also provides excellent resistance to corrosion; a superior strength-to-weight ratio, superior erosion resistance, and high heat transfer efficiency.

Q:
Is Titanium autoclaveable?
A: Titanium itself is autoclaveable for lab uses. However, our screwdriver handles and plastic T-handle wrenches will not hold up to the process. For autoclaveable purposes we suggest the formed screwdrivers,
or the formed key T-handle wrenches.
Q: How strong is Titanium?
A: We use only finest grade of titanium that applicable for tool production—6AL-4V, which has a tensile strength of 150,000 psi.
