Improvements in aircraft fuel efficiency are paralleled by an increase in the demand for titanium alloys in the aerospace industry, especially for airframes and engines. Aircraft are made of a variety of titanium materials, each one chosen for a specific purpose. Commercially pure titanium is utilized for aircraft structures where formability is necessary. Titanium alloys have been extensively used in the manufacturing of multi-part commercial and military aircraft because of their outstanding corrosion resistance and high specific strength. Each titanium material is chosen for an aircraft based on its intended application. Commercially pure (CP) titanium is employed when building airframes because of its formability. Titanium alloys such as Ti6Al4V are used for engines where strength, as well as heat resistance, play a crucial role. This review article provides a concise overview of the titanium materials' current application scenario and expands on using such strategic alloys in the aerospace sector.
