Titanium is a relatively rare earth metal with unique physical and chemical properties. Titanium has roughly the same strength as steel but is on average 75% lighter. Titanium is an extremely durable, corrosion-resistant, biologically compatible element with the human body, which, in addition to the above-mentioned properties, is characterized by plasticity and low electrical conductivity.Titanium has a melting point of 1,660°C and a boiling point of 3,287°C.
The unique chemical-physical properties of titanium are widely used in various fields. Because of its biocompatibility with the human body, titanium is often chosen for the manufacture of medical implants. The metal is selected for aircraft and spacecraft construction because of its exceptional combination of strength and lightness. Titanium can often be found in a wide range of sporting goods, being used in the manufacture of bicycle frames, tennis rackets, and golf clubs.
In everyday life, titanium can sometimes be found in products such as high-quality spectacle frames, watch cases, and bracelets. The metal is also used in some computers, mobile phones, and tablets, where the combination of strength and lightness is particularly important. Typically, titanium accounts for less than 10% of the total weight of these electronic products. Additionally, titanium is used in the manufacture of some car engine components and exhaust system parts.
