The Standard English unit is pounds mass per cubic foot ( lbm/ft 3). The standard SI unit is kilograms per cubic meter ( kg/m 3). In words, the density (ρ) of a substance is the total mass (m) of that substance divided by the total volume (V) occupied by that substance. It is an intensive property, which is mathematically defined as mass divided by volume:

Density of Titanium Alloysĭensity of typical titanium alloy is 4.43 g/cm 3 (Ti-6Al-4V).ĭensity of typical aluminium alloy is 2.7 g/cm 3 ( 6061 alloy).ĭensity of typical magnesium alloy is 1.8 g/cm 3 ( Elektron 21).ĭensity of typical stainless steel is 8.0 g/cm 3 ( AISI 304L).ĭensity is defined as the mass per unit volume. The two most useful properties of the metal are corrosion resistance and strength-to-density ratio, the highest of any metallic element. It is also twice as strong as weak aluminium alloys but only 60% heavier. Pure titanium is stronger than common, low-carbon steels, but 45% lighter. In power plants, titanium can be used in surface condensers. Titanium is resistant to corrosion in sea water, aqua regia, and chlorine. Titanium is a lustrous transition metal with a silver color, low density, and high strength.
