Specialty Metals refer to high-performance alloys engineered for specific applications requiring superior strength, corrosion resistance, heat tolerance, or unique mechanical properties. These metals are often used in aerospace, medical, defense, power generation, and chemical industries due to their ability to perform in extreme environments.

Key Characteristics:

• High resistance to corrosion and oxidation

• Exceptional strength-to-weight ratios

• Ability to withstand high temperatures and pressure

• Often non-magnetic and biocompatible (especially in medical use)

Common Types Include:

• Titanium & Titanium Alloys – Lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant

• Inconel, Hastelloy, Monel – Nickel-based superalloys for high-temperature and chemical-resistant environments

• Tantalum, Zirconium, Niobium – Used in medical, nuclear, and chemical processing applications

• Cobalt Alloys – Known for strength and wear resistance in high-stress applications
