The chemical behavior of titanium metal has remarkable similarities with zirconium and silica.
Aerospace applications account for 80% of titanium consumption, while 20% of the metal is used in armor, medical hardware and consumer products. Titanium is as strong as steel but 45% lighter. Corrosion resistance due to the presence of a thin oxide coating on the metal surface. Due to its excellent seawater resistance, it is used in offshore drilling platforms, ship propellers and rigging, and desalination plants. Because titanium is light, stable, heat-resistant and easy to use, it also has many uses in aerospace applications.
