Titanium is a shiny and lustrous metal with a silver-gray color. It has a fairly high melting point of around 1,668 degrees Celsius. Titanium is lightweight, strong, and corrosion-resistant, making it a favorite among engineers and scientists. It's also a fairly biocompatible metal. Titanium was first identified by the British Reverend William Gregor in 1791, who named it after the Titans of Greek mythology. However, it wasn't until the 20th century that scientists found practical uses for it.

Titanium has many uses. These include being used as a pigment in the form of Titanium oxide. Titanium is also frequently used in hip replacements and tooth implants. It is also used as a structural material in sports equipment, vehicles, and many other items.
