TITANIUM

The titanium is a chemical element, of symbol You and atomic number 22. Silver treats itself about a metal of transition of gray color. It has high resistance to the corrosion and great mechanical resistance. It possesses mechanical properties similar to the steel, so much cigar as in the alloys that it forms. The titanium was declared strategic material on the part of The United States for many years and it can form alloys with other elements, such as iron, aluminium, vanadium, molybdenum.
The titanium (called this way by the Titans, children of Uranus and Gea in the Greek mythology) was discovered in England by William Gregor, in 1791, when a metal of color was studying grey - silver that he had found. Little later, in 1795, the German chemist Martin Kalprotz, discoverer also of the uranium, gave the name of titanium. The titanium is present in the meteorites and in the Sun.

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
