What are the Properties of titanium

Titanium has several favourable properties like low specific gravity with a density of 4.5 gm/cm³ , high heat resistance and high strength comparable with that of stainless steel. Ti is also very resistant to corrosion as a result of the passivating action afforded by a thin layer of titanium oxide that is formed on the surface. It has the ability to form an oxide layer 10 angstrom in thickness within a millisecond and is generally self healing. If left unchecked, it becomes 100 angstrom thick within a minute. Pure Ti has the ability to form several oxides including TiO, TiO₂  and Ti ₂ O₃ . Of these, TiO₂  is considered the most stable and is used more often under physiologica  conditions.
