Basic Information On Titanium

Titanium is a rare metal and has the seventh highest abundance in the earth's crust with 0.42%. It has a metallic luster and is ductile. Density 4.5 g/cm3. melting point 1660 ± 10 ℃. Boiling point 3287℃. Valence +2, +3 and +4. Ionization energy is 6.82 eV. The main characteristics of titanium are low density, high mechanical strength and easy processing. The plasticity of titanium depends mainly on purity. The purer the titanium, the greater the plasticity. It has good corrosion resistance and is not affected by the atmosphere and seawater. At room temperature, it will not be corroded by dilute hydrochloric acid, dilute sulfuric acid, nitric acid or dilute alkali solution; only hydrofluoric acid, hot concentrated hydrochloric acid, concentrated sulfuric acid, etc. can act on it.
