Why titanium is called strategic metal?

Answer 1

A strategic metal is one which is highly essential for a nation's economy or defence.
Examples are titanium,chromium,manganese, zirconium etc.
Titanium,though also used in making screws for machines in big industries etc.
It is slightly expensive though and is light and strong.
Generally strategic metals are used in atomic energy sector,space science projects,high-grade steels etc.

Answer 2

Strategic Metal

Answer 3

Titanium is called a strategic metal because the metal and its
alloys are used in aerospace, marine equipment, air craft frames, chemical
industries and chemical reactors. The unique and wide range of applications
of titanium metal are due to its resistance to corrosion, high melting point,
high boiling point and high strength.

Answer 4

A strategic metal is a metal that is essential for industry and national security, but for which a nation has little or no domestic supply.

I'm not sure what country you are in, but this wiki refernece indicates that very few OECD countries have significant stores of Titanium. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium (for example USA, Japan, China and Russia have no significant domestic Titanium resource).

as other answers note, Titanium is an essential component in many industrial applications and therefore a developed industrialised nation requires secure access to Titanium and titanium products.

Answer 5

Titanium is among the class of 'strategic' metals because of it's widespread importance in military applications.

Titanium is vital in making high temperature alloys, particularly those used making supersonic aircraft.

Answer 6

Simply because its properties make it irreplaceable in some applications, and because availability is low, due to high cost. Any substitute would not be as good (heavier, not as corrosion resistant, not as strong, etc.)

Titanium production consumes magnesium metal by the truckload, and magnesium is not exactly cheap either, hence titanium is expensive.

Answer 7

It is strong and light weight. Used to build miltary vessels like submarines and probably ships too. It is used in aircraft parts. I have made titanium parts for helicopters. Strategic because of its importance for national defense in military use.

Answer 8

Because it is very light and highly resistant to heat, it is often used in rocket nozzles, such as in the Space Shuttle, MISSILES, etc.

If a country doesn't have titanium, it can't make many missiles, so its strategic military strength is impaired.

To answer your question, real metalheads are the ones that don't listen to Linkin Park, System Of A Down, etc. Real metalheads listen to bands like Witchfinder General, Atheist, UFO, Saxon, Blessed Death, Kreator, etc. To an extent, I agree. Heavy Metal is Heavy Metal, whether it's Benediction or Black Sabbath. I don't mind though, having just a few sub-genres like thrash, death, doom, black, and traditional metal. I feel it's sad though, that many metal fans put themselves in little corners within metal.

Answer 10

It's strong, lighter than iron and scarce.
It's the key to most weaponry. Thus it's strategic value.
