- It's Latin name is Titanium. In the Periodic Table it is abbreviated
to Ti. It was discovered in 1791 by Reverend William Gregor.
- Titanium is the wonder metal of the technological age, possessing
a myriad of fascinating characteristics in many forms. Titanium
is used for armour plating on military vehicles, deep sea submersibles,
computer chips, architectural reconstruction (e.g. the Pantheon),
nuclear storage systems, pacemakers, heart valves, etc. It is a
very strong and very light weight metal.
- An innovative titanium-nickel alloy can actually "remember" it's
original shape and return to it even when severely deformed.
- The energy required to produce one ton of titanium from its ore
is X16 that needed to produce one ton of steel, hence its higher
market value.
- Other precious metals cannot be soldered to Titanium.
- It is very difficult to get a high shine on Titanium.
