    Scientific description

    Titanium is a lustrous, silver-grey transition metal renowned for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance (even in seawater and chlorine), and biocompatibility. It is as strong as steel but 45 % lighter, making it ideal for aerospace, military and biomedical applications.
