Three special functions of titanium
1. Shape memory function
It refers to the ability of Ti-50%Ni (atomic) alloy to restore its original shape under certain temperature conditions. This material is called shape memory alloy.
2. Superconducting function
Refers to Nb-Ti alloy. When the temperature drops to close to absolute zero, the wire made of Nb-Ti alloy will lose resistance. If any large current passes through, the wire will not heat up and there is no energy consumption. Nb-Ti is called superconducting materials.
3. Hydrogen storage function
It refers to the Ti-50%Fe (atomic) alloy, which has the ability to absorb a large amount of hydrogen. Using this characteristic of Ti-Fe, hydrogen can be stored safely, that is, it is not necessary to use steel high-pressure gas cylinders to store hydrogen. Under certain conditions, Ti-Fe can also release hydrogen. Ti-Fe is called an energy storage material.
