About Titanium
Titanium is one of the strong metals. It is of shiny grey color and is as strong as steel but not as dense. This element has got its name after a Greek God the Titan. Titanium is a non-toxic element and it is the 9th most abundant chemical element on our planet. This metal does not corrode even in chlorine or sea waterbut when burning at high temperature it creates its oxidewhich is its most important compound. Titanium is used in producing such goods as bicyclescrutchesgolf clubsetc. Its excellent resistance to corrosion is used in metallurgy and power plant construction. Titanium has very good connectivity with bones and other human tissues thus it is used for bone surgeries and implants. It forms very strong alloys with such elements as ironaluminumetcused in aircraft constructionetc.
