Titanium:  Titanium is a high strength, low weight, material that is normally used in aerospace applications.  It also has increasing application in the medical, and marine engineering fields, and industrial uses such as heat exchangers, turbines, and pumps.  It is biocompatible, meaning it can co-exist in the body without rejection, or be degraded by body fluids.  It has the best strength-to-weight ratio of any alloy or element.  It has much better heat resistance than aluminum, or even steel.  It is an extremely expensive material, which limits its use to critical applications.  It has excellent corrosion resistance.  It is not magnetic.  It is not normally plated.  For fastener purposes, titanium is combined with columbium to create an alloy.  

Tubular:  Full tubular rivet. Similar to the semi-tubular rivet, but with a deeper drilled hole. Commonly used by the loose-leaf binder industry.
