Chemical plants make widespread use of titanium. The metals inert ceramic layer makes it ideal for highly corrosive chemical plants where it is used in pumps, valves and heat exchangers. Traditionally it has been confined to oxidising environments. When alloyed with palladium it can be used in reducing environments like acids and chlorides the main alloys used in these circumstances are grade 11 and grade 17.

Nuclear waste storage requires corrosion resistant containers capable of lasting hundreds of thousands of years. Titanium is one of the few metals up to the task.

Titanium alloys are widely used in chemical industries, particularly for applications requiring corrosion resistance, such as processing of chemicals, acids, and alkalis.

Titanium alloys are also used in the manufacture of valves, tanks, and other components in contact with corrosive substances.

Titanium alloys are also used in the construction of chemical plants, such as piping, reactors, and storage tanks.

In addition, titanium alloys are used in the manufacture of catalytic converters and other automotive components.
