Commercially pure titanium and all the titanium alloys are virtually non-magnetic making it ideal for applications where electro-magnetic interference must be minimized.
The permeability of commercially pure titanium is 1.00005-1.00001 at 955 H.m-1 Desirable application include electronic equipment housing, medical device and downhole well logging tools.
Titanium prostheses in the body are not subject to detrimental movement in the MRI diagnostic test which is conducted in a very strong magnetic field. Also, titanium knifes and tools are used by special military forces that work around mines and other equipment where magnetic interference must be minimized.
