Titanium is a metallic chemical element with symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It belongs to the family of transition metals and is ranked among the strongest, lightest and most corrosion resistant metals.

Its color is silver gray and its oxidation state is +4. It is quite hard and has great resistance to chemical agents. Titanium is also an excellent conductor of heat and electricity.

It is used to make metal alloys and composites used in the aeronautics and space sectors. Titanium is also very present in the medical field and is used for the manufacture of joint replacement materials and medical materials.

Titanium is used to make coatings and protective coatings against corrosion in the chemical and petrochemical industry, in heating systems and fuel tanks. Finally, it is widely used in the field of architecture and landscaping for the manufacture of decorative and functional elements.
