Titanium (Ti) former prime symbol of origin

Titanium (Ti) former prime symbol of origin

      References to Greek mythology, so once the Protoss "Titans" the name given to this new element named "Titanium". Chinese transliteration named their titanium. Gregor and Klaproth titanium was found that powdered titanium dioxide, rather than titanium. Since titanium oxide is extremely stable, and can be directly heated to titanium compound with oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, carbon, and so difficult to elemental titanium preparation. Until 1910 was only US chemist Hunter (Hunter MA) first obtained the purity of 99.9% titanium.
     titanium pipe is rare in abundance in the earth's crust accounted seventh place, with 0.42%. Minerals used for smelting titanium mainly ilmenite (FeTiO3), rutile (TiO2) and perovskite and the like. Ore processed to obtain volatile titanium tetrachloride, and then restore the system titanium magnesium.
Elements Uses: titanium and titanium alloys for the aerospace industry a lot, there is "Space Metal" said; In addition, the shipbuilding industry, chemical industry, manufacturing machinery parts, telecommunications equipment, carbide, and so has become increasingly widely used. Titanium can withstand more than a hundred degrees below zero test, in which a low temperature, titanium still has good toughness and not brittle. The use of titanium and zirconium to absorb powerful air force, air can be removed, creating a vacuum. For example, the use of a vacuum pump made of titanium, you can put the air pumped only 1,000 million million. , Non-magnetic titanium, titanium has the "pro-biotic 'sex in the human body, can resist corrosion and non-toxic secretions, adapt to any sterilization methods. It is widely used in making medical devices, making artificial hip, knee , shoulder, threatening joints, skull, active heart valves, bone clip. when the new muscle in the annulus package these "titanium bone" on, these titanium bone began to maintain the body's normal activities.
     titanium rings is widely distributed in the body, in an amount of normal body weight not more than 70kg per 15mg, its role is unclear. But titanium can stimulate phagocytic cells, so that the immune system has been proven to enhance this effect. Titanium, titanium alloys and titanium compounds excellent performance prompted urgent human needs them. However, high production costs, so the application is limited. We believe that in the near future, with the titanium smelting technology continues to improve and enhance the use of compounds of titanium, titanium and titanium will be greater development.
