OKAY, so what IS TITANIUM anyway? .. in English please!
It is an ELEMENT, Atomic Number 22 on the Elements Table (Ti), the 9th most abundant element in the earth's crust. Titanium is a as strong as steel and twice as strong as aluminum, but is 45% lighter than steel and only 60% heavier than aluminum. Since it is not easily corroded by sea water, it is used in propeller shafts, riggings and other parts of boats exposed to sea water. Titanium and titanium alloys are used in airplanes, missiles and rockets where strength, low weight and resistance to high temperatures are important. Since titanium DOES NOT REACT within the human body, it is used to create artificial hips, pins for setting bones and for other biological implants. Unfortunately, the high cost of titanium has limited its widespread use. BUT you can own a unique piece of this highly esteemed element. |
