Basic Knowledge Of Titanium

Titanium is a metallic element with the chemical symbol Ti and atomic number 22, belonging to the IVB group of metallic elements on the periodic table. Titanium's melting point 1660 ℃, boiling point 3287 ℃, density 4.54g/cm³. Titanium is a gray transition metal characterized by light weight, high strength and good corrosion resistance. Due to its stable chemical properties, good resistance to high and low temperatures, strong acids and alkalis, as well as high strength and low density, it is known as the "space metal". The most common compound of titanium is titanium dioxide (commonly known as titanium dioxide), while other compounds include titanium tetrachloride and titanium trichloride. Titanium is one of the most widely distributed and abundant elements in the earth's crust, accounting for 0.16% of the mass of the earth's crust, ranking ninth. The main ores of titanium are ilmenite and rutile. The two most prominent advantages of titanium are high specific strength and corrosion resistance, which determines that titanium is bound to have a promising application in aerospace, weaponry, energy, chemical industry, metallurgy, construction and transportation. Abundant reserves of titanium provides a resource base for the wide application of titanium.
