Over 1,000 years of salt water would whittle only Yiooo of an inch off titanium Salt water and marine atmospheres are traditional enemies of most metals. B u t n o t titanium. I t s resistance to such corrosive attack is unchallenged. Tests show a corrosion rate so infinitesimal that it would actually take over a thousand years of salt water exposure t o reduce the thickness of a titanium sheet by one-thousandth of an inch. Titanium carries this exceptional resistance into industrial uses, where the economics of corrosion are also important. I t is uniquely superior in resisting corrosion by such common industrial chemicals a s nitric acid, solutions of chlorine, chlorinated compounds. Thus i t more than pays its way in process vessels, piping, filters, heat exchangers, and many other places in processing industries. Where can you use titanium t o reduce the waste of corrosion? A s a leading producer, Mallory-Sharon can help you evaluate titanium, help you "design ahead" with this exceptional metal. Write Dept. N"14 for complete information.
Marine fittings fabricated from Mallory-Sharon unalloyed titanium are immune to salt water corrosion, also offer substantial weight savings.
