Abstract

Provided is a titanium composite material 1 including: a first surface layer portion 2 ; an inner layer portion 4 ; and a second surface layer portion 3 ; wherein: the first surface layer portion 2 and the second surface layer portion 3 are composed of a titanium alloy; the inner layer portion 4 is composed of a commercially pure titanium including pores; a thickness of at least one of the first surface layer portion 2 and the second surface layer portion 3 is 2 μm or more, and a proportion of the thickness with respect to an overall thickness of the titanium composite material 1 is 40% or less; and a porosity in a cross section perpendicular to a sheet thickness direction is more than 0% and 30% or less.

Claims (64)

1. A titanium composite material comprising:

a first surface layer portion;

an inner layer portion; and
