High melting point (3017°C) and excellent high-temperature resistance;
Exceptional corrosion resistance: resistant to hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, aqua regia, and most organic acids (except hydrofluoric acid);
Biocompatibility: non-toxic, commonly used in medical implants (such as bone screws);
High ductility: easy to cold work (rolling, forging);
Application areas: chemical equipment (reactor linings), aerospace components, medical implants, high-vacuum equipment, capacitor electrodes, etc.
