Chemical Properties
This element has excellent strength and corrosion resistance. Titanium’s corrosion rate is so slow that after 4,000 years in seawater, corrosion would only have penetrated the metal to the thickness of a sheet of paper! As shavings or powder it is flammable but Titanium is non-toxic.

Physical Properties
A metallic element, Titanium is a strong metal, yet has a very low density. Steel is 55% heavier than Titanium although both elements are just as strong, and it is 60% heavier than Aluminum but Titanium is twice as strong. Titanium is lustrous and metallic-white in color. When heated, the element is ductile and malleable. *1941 K is Titanium’s melting point and **3560 K is its boiling point. Titanium’s density is 4.507 g/cm cubed which is considered very light for an element. In water it is insoluble, however it is soluble in concreate acids. Its standard state is solid at 25 ° C or 77 °F.
