About Titanium

Titanium (Ti) is as strong as steel, but much less de nse. It is therefore import ant as an alloying agent

with many metals, including aluminum, molybdenum and iron. These alloys are mainly used in aircraft

and spacecraft because of their low density and ability to withstand extreme temperatures. They are

also used in sports equipment, laptops, bicycles and medical prostheses. Recently, this metal has been

used in some battery components.
