The element of Titanium is a metal on the periodic table. The atomic number is 22 and atomic weight is 47.867. The melting point is 1941 K and boiling point is 3560 K. Titanium was discovered by Reverend William Gregor in 1791. It was first produced by an American metallurgist named Matthew Hunter in 1910. Titanium is strong and light. It is as strong as steel and twice as strong as aluminium. Also, it is 45% lighter than steel! It is also very resistant to corrosive elements. It is used in parts that are exposed to water on boats which would take much advantage on the resistance it has. Titanium and titanium alloys have been used for airplanes, missiles, and rockets where the high temperature resistance and low weight can be useful. Also, it is used for artificial limbs.
Titanium is a very important metal and when given a job, it will get it done most of the time. The problem with titanium is the high cost for it, so it can't be used widespread. It only the 9th abundant element in the earth's crust, but it is still difficult to make it to the point of usage. Titanium is a game changing metal that could possibly be used in the future more widespread
