Titanium
Titanium(chemical symbol Ti atomic number 22)
Features of titanium
An oxidized film in the air protects the surface of titanium. This oxidized material is extremely stable and has the same corrosion resistance as gold and platinum. It also has very high corrosion resistance to seawater and various oxidants. Titanium is stronger than iron but is 60% lighter and has little heat expansion at 50% of that of stainless steel. For these reasons titanium and titanium alloys are used in heat exchanges in desalination plants for sea water and munitions such as airplanes and submarines. Further, because of its high affinity with biological tissue it is also used in artificial tooth roots and artificial joints.
