In 1993, it was made from medical grade titanium and nitinol (nickel/titanium alloy).
Medical instruments, medical grade needles engineered for body piercing, medical grade surgical stainless steel, surgical grade titanium, bio-compatible materials like PTFE and Bioplast.
the highest and hardest grade stainless is titanium 316Ti

Commercial (99.2% pure) grades of titanium have ultimate tensile strength of about 434 MPa (63,000 psi), equal to that of common, low-grade steel alloys, but are less dense.Titaniumis 60% more dense than aluminium, but more than twice as strong as the most commonly used 6061-T6 aluminium alloy.
What grade of titanium, there are several grades some are toxic to the body. You need to know much more than just what it is. Grade 23 Titanium is the best surgical grade out there, then there are the steel grades. 316LVM or British Composition D surgical stainless steel is the next best material. Then you have Bio-plastic or PTFE as options instead of steel or titanium.
Titanium Dioxide makes a variety of products ranging from food to makeup to industrial coatings and paint. There is a food grade and industrial grade. It is used in toothpaste as a whitening agent.
Basically, you need to decompose the iodine in the titanium. Many minerals have iodine within it including coal! Hope I helped, and believe it or not I am in 8th grade doing a Science assignment on Titanium too!
the young modulus of titanium varies from 100 - 110 GPa which depends upon the grade of titanium used based upon the application purpose. anees
Because it is very strong and light. Yes. It is very strong, rustproof, and light. Titanium density : 4.52g/cm3. Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al4V) Fasteners are popular in the industry of racing motorcycle and cars for its high tensile strength and lightness, it is mainly used in racing car, motorcycle and bike applications.
As with steel, there are many different titanium alloy combinations, and not all are safe or suitable for body piercing application. All Wildcat titanium jewellery is Grade 23 (Ti 6AL 4V ELI) - one of only three titanium alloys recognized by the American Society for Testing of Materials (ASTM). An "F" prefix granted by the ASTM (F-136) indicates FDA consent for use in medical devices - NO HIGHER QUALIFICATION CURRENTLY EXISTS. The oxide film on Grade 23 titanium is almost three times thicker than that of Grade 1 titanium. This film acts as a barrier to prevent the release of alloying elements, and makes the jewellery resistant to corrosion. Wildcat applies a chemical etch to all G23Ti items which enhances and extends the life of anodized colours. This formula is the oxide of titanium and is safe for body implantation. Because titanium has a high affinity for oxygen, the surface oxide film heals itself instantly if it is damaged. Gold is a combination of metals added to the gold, these metals can be reactive with the body depending on the percentage of content. Example 24kt gold is almost pure with little or no other alloys, where as 14kt gold is 14/24ths gold, the other 10% is filler alloys. So the question is what are the alloys used in the gold and how do you get gold that has neutral alloys ( non-reactive to the body ). For that you will need to talk to a gold smith to get gold that has low or neutral filler content.
The world's strongest metal is titanium. Commercial grade Titanium (92% pure) is 63,000 psi (434 MPa), which can be compared to a low grade steel alloy but is 45% lighter. It is an alloy to natural elements tungsten, iridium and other metals including aluminum, molybdenum, iron, and manganese. It is also a super alloy of liqiud metal. Certain titanium alloys (e.g., Beta C) achieve tensile strengths of over 200,000 psi (1,400 MPa). Megapascal or MPa is a unit to measure tensile strength.
