what is a chemical property of titanium besides flammability?

Question

i was just wondering, i am doing a project on titanium but all i can find on the internet is that it is flammable.

Answer 1

I am not expert on titanium but Flammable?? My advice would be to find another website to get info from. I do know that it is a very strong and very expansive metal. I payed allot of money for a driver made of the stuff but it did not help my golf score so based on that I would conclude that it is also overpriced.

Answer 2

Titanium isnt flammable. Titanium, like other elements, is a composite of several isotopes, which range in atomic weight from 46 to 50. The proportions of these isotopes have been computed from spectrographic analysis. Mathematical calculations employing the proportions and mass numbers have assigned titanium a mean atomic weight of 47.88.
Unalloyed titanium may have tensile strengths ranging from 250 MPa for high purity metal produced by the iodide reduction process to 700 MPa for metal produced with sponge titanium of high hardness. The arc-melted unalloyed titanium products are reasonably ductile.

More information is avaliable below, but as a metal it will work as a conductor for electricity as well as a conductor for heat, in many metal complexex, titanium is very strong and has a high shearing cappacity (meaning it takes a lot of force and weight to break the metal) The lattice that is formed by titanium is well built for structure and strenght!

Answer 3

Titanium (IPA: /tʌɪˈteɪniəm/) is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a light, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including resistance to sea water and chlorine) transition metal with a white-silvery-metallic color. Titanium is used in strong light-weight alloys (most notably with iron and aluminium), and in powdered form to other materials, such as graphite composites. Its most common compound, titanium dioxide, is used in white pigments. Examples in which white pigment, consisting of titanium oxide, is used, are correction fluid and commonly used white paint to repaint walls. It is also used in toothpaste, white road marking paints and in white fireworks. Substances containing titanium are called titaniferous.


Im pretty sure Ti is not flammable.
The only "flammable" metal is sodium and its not really flammable just reactive

Answer 4

Titanium? That's me.
Titanium is light but strong metal. It has an ultimate tensile strength equal to that of high strength low alloy steels, but are 43% lighter. It is 60% heavier than aluminum, but more than twice as strong as an aluminium alloy.

Titanium is excellent resistance to corrosion. It is able to withstand attack by acids, moist chlorine gas, and by common salt solutions. Pure titanium is not soluble in water but is soluble in concentrated acids.

Answer 5

Titanium Flammability

Answer 6

Titanium is a light, strong corrosion-resistant metal that has a high shine when polished (lustrous). It is lightly attracted by magnets, and it is NOT flammabile. Titanium is a ductile (bendable) metal with a low density that has a high melting point and resistance to corrosion from Chlorine (a very reactive chemical), most acids and salt water, making it ideal for marine applications. In fact the hull of the Russian Typhoon class Submarine is titanium (Russia is one of the few sources of the metal, as is South Africa).

It is used in everything from airplanes to the die that makes toothpaste white. It is very commonly alloyed with other metals (like steel) to increase the strength to that metal. What may have made you think about it being flamable is that titanium oxide iis used in firewors to make the color white.

The Guggenheim Museum Bilbao is covered in titanium.

According to Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium
"Titanium is a chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a light, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including resistance to sea water and chlorine) transition metal with a white-silvery-metallic color. Titanium is used in strong light-weight alloys (most notably with iron and aluminium), and in powdered form to other materials, such as graphite composites. Its most common compound, titanium dioxide, is used in white pigments. Examples in which white pigment, consisting of titanium oxide, is used, are correction fluid and commonly used white paint to repaint walls. It is also used in toothpaste, white road marking paints and in white fireworks. Substances containing titanium are called titaniferous.

The element occurs in numerous minerals with the main sources being rutile and ilmenite, which are widely distributed over the Earth. There are two allotropic forms and five naturally occurring isotopes of this element; 46Ti through 50Ti with 48Ti being the most abundant (73.8%). One of titanium's most notable characteristics is that it is as strong as steel but is only 60% its density. Titanium's properties are chemically and physically similar to zirconium.

Titanium is well known for its excellent resistance to corrosion; it is almost as resistant as platinum, being able to withstand attack by acids, moist chlorine gas, and by common salt solutions. Pure titanium is not soluble in water but is soluble in concentrated acids. A metallic element, it is also well-known for its high strength-to-weight ratio. It is a light, strong metal with low density that, when pure, is quite ductile (especially in an oxygen-free environment), easy to work, lustrous, and metallic-white in color. The relatively high melting point of this element makes it useful as a refractory metal. Commercially pure grades of titanium have an ultimate tensile strength equal to that of high strength low alloy steels, but are 43% lighter. Titanium is 60% heavier than aluminium, but more than twice as strong as 6061-T6 aluminium alloy; these numbers can vary quite substantially due to different alloy compositions and processing variables.

This metal forms a passive and protective oxide coating (leading to corrosion-resistance) when exposed to elevated temperatures in air but at room temperatures it resists tarnishing. The metal, which burns when heated in air 610 °C or higher (forming titanium dioxide) is also one of the few elements that burns in pure nitrogen gas (it burns at 800 °C and forms titanium nitride). Titanium is resistant to dilute sulfuric and hydrochloric acid, along with chlorine gas, chloride solutions, and most organic acids. It is paramagnetic (weakly attracted to magnets) and has a very high electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity."

kiwilimej...: Sodium is considered a metal and it burns, in fact if you put pure sodium in water it will explode.

Answer 7

titanium is flamable?? woah thats weird... i didnt realize a metal would be flamable
