Titanium

Titanium is a lustrous, silver-colored transition metal renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, superior corrosion resistance (particularly to seawater, chlorine, and various acids), and excellent biocompatibility. It possesses a low density and a high melting point, making it suitable for high-temperature applications. While commercially pure titanium is ductile and relatively soft, it is often alloyed with other elements like aluminum and vanadium to significantly enhance its mechanical properties, including strength, hardness, and creep resistance. Its primary drawbacks include its high cost and challenging machinability.
