Titanium

Titanium (Ti) is a lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant metal primarily derived from minerals like ilmenite (FeTiO₃) and rutile (TiO₂). It is classified as a critical mineral due to its essential role in aerospace, defense, medical, and industrial applications.

Key Uses of Titanium

  • Aerospace & Defense – Used in aircraft frames, jet engines, missiles, and military armor due to its high strength-to-weight ratio.
  • Medical Applications – Used in implants, prosthetics, and surgical instruments due to its biocompatibility.
  • Industrial & Chemical Uses – Found in heat exchangers, desalination plants, and chemical processing equipment due to corrosion resistance.
  • Consumer & Automotive – Used in high-performance sports equipment, luxury goods, and automotive parts.
  • Pigments & Coatings – Titanium dioxide (TiO₂) is widely used in paints, coatings, plastics, and sunscreens.
