Titanium..its an alloy consisting of what ?

Answer 1

Titanium is Latin and refers to the Titans, the first sons of the earth in Mythology. It was discovered by Gregor in 1791, then independantly discovered by M.H. Klaproth in 1795 in Berlin Germany. This element was named by Klaproth. It was nearly a hundred years later (1887) when impure titanium was first prepared by Nilson and Pettersson. About 20 years later Hunter heated Titanium Chloride TiCl4 with sodium in a steel bomb and isolated 99.6% pure titanium. It is the ninth most abundant element in the earth's crust and is also found in meteorites and in the sun. It is found in the ash of coal, in plants and even in the human body. It occurs in the minerals rutile, ilmenite and sphene..☺

Answer 2

You probably read that something is made of a Titanium alloy.
What that means is that it is made of Titanium, but not pure Titanium. Instead, there are other elements included that modify the properties of the Titanium.

Steel is an alloy of iron containing various other elements. Not all steels are identical, and they include such other elements as carbon, nickel, and molybdenum.

When something is described as an alloy, one usually expects that it is more desirable than the pure element, because it was probably "mixed" in a way that makes it better suited to whatever purpose it is being used for.

Answer 3

Titanium is an element. It is not an alloy.

(Titanium is a chemical element; in the periodic table it 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 can be alloyed with other elements such as iron, aluminium, vanadium, molybdenum and others, to produce strong lightweight alloys for aerospace and other demanding applications. )
(In powdered form it can be added to other materials, such as graphite composites. Its most common compound, titanium dioxide, is used in the manufacture of white pigments.)

titanium is a chemical element; in the periodic table it 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.[1] Titanium can be alloyed with other elements such as iron, aluminium, vanadium, molybdenum and others, to produce strong lightweight alloys for aerospace and other demanding applications. In powdered form it can be added to other materials, such as graphite composites. Its most common compound, titanium dioxide, is used in the manufacture of white pigments.[1]

Answer 5

It's just the metal element Titanium. An alloy has two or more metals. Bronze is an alloy. It has Copper and Tin. Brass is an alloy. It has Copper and Zinc.

Answer 6

Titanium is an element not an alloy.

Answer 7

Titanium is not an alloy. Its one of the basic elements.

Answer 8

It's an alloy consisting of the gap between you and evolution.

Answer 9

Ti is usually alloyed with Aluminum and Vanadium

Answer 10

Let the amt of copper,zinc tin present be 2x,3x,4x respectively Then according to the question 2x+3x+4x=75 or 9x=75 or x=75/9=8.33 So copper=2*8.33 kg =16.66 kg zinc=3*8.33 kg =25 kg tin=4*8.33 kg=33.33 kg Answer
