TITANIUM

Titanium is a chemical element, symbol Ti and atomic number 22. This is a transition metal silver gray. Compared with steel, metal with which it competes in technical applications, is much lighter (4.5 / 7.8). It has high resistance to corrosion and high mechanical strength, but is much more expensive than steel, which limits their industrial use. In Greek mythology, the Titans Titaness male and female, were a race of powerful deities that ruled during the legendary golden age. There are twelve Titans from their first literary appearance, in Hesiod's Theogony as mythological Apollodorus Library adds a thirteenth, Dione, a double of Tea. Were associated with various primal concepts, some of which are simply extrapolated from their names: ocean and fruitful earth, sun and moon, memory and natural law. The twelve first-generation Titans were led by the youngest, Cronus, who overthrew his father Uranus ( 'Heaven'), at the urging of his mother, Gaia ( 'Earth'). The Titans spawned a second generation, notably the children of Hisperión (Helios, Eos and Selene), the daughters of Coeus
