Many elements such as iron, aluminium, nickel and vanadium are alloyed with titanium to produce strong lightweight alloys. These titanium alloys are used in the manufacturing of naval ships, spacecraft, missiles and aircraft, with around two thirds of all titanium metal produced is used in aircraft engines and frames.he chemical element Titanium has the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. Pure titanium is a transition metal with a lustrous silver-white color. Titanium will always be found bonded with another element it does not naturally occur on its own in a pure form. British pastor William Gregor discovered titanium in 1791.
Titanium is used in steel as an alloying element (ferro-titanium) to reduce grain size and as a deoxidizer, and in stainless steel to reduce carbon content. Titanium is often alloyed with aluminum (to refine grain size), vanadium, copper (to harden), iron, manganese, molybdenum, and with other metals.
