I-Titanium iyikhemikhali enophawu lwamakhemikhali u-Ti kanye nenombolo ye-athomu engu-22. Itholakala enkathini yesi-4 kanye neqembu le-IVB lethebula le-periodic lezakhi zamakhemikhali. Kuyinsimbi eguquguqukayo emhlophe eyisiliva ebonakala ngesisindo esilula, amandla aphezulu, i-metallic luster, nokumelana nokugqwala kwegesi ye-chlorine emanzi.

I-Titanium ibhekwa njengensimbi engavamile ngenxa yokuhlakazeka kwayo futhi kunzima ukuyikhipha imvelo. Kodwa incithakalo, ibeka okweshumi kuzo zonke izakhi. I-Titanium ores ikakhulukazi ihlanganisa i-ilmenite ne-hematite, ezisakazwa kabanzi ku-crust kanye ne-lithosphere. I-Titanium iphinde ibe khona kanyekanye cishe kuzo zonke izinto eziphilayo, amadwala, imizimba yamanzi, nenhlabathi. Ukukhipha i-titanium kuma-ore amakhulu kudinga ukusetshenziswa kwezindlela ze-Kroll noma ze-Hunter. Inhlanganisela evame kakhulu ye-titanium i-titanium dioxide, engase isetshenziselwe ukwenza ama-pigments amhlophe. Ezinye izinhlanganisela zihlanganisa i-titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) (esetshenziswa njenge-catalyst nasekukhiqizeni izikrini zentuthu noma umbhalo wasemoyeni) kanye ne-titanium trichloride (TiCl3) (esetshenziselwa ukukhuthaza ukukhiqizwa kwe-polypropylene).

I-Titanium inamandla amakhulu, ne-titanium emsulwa enamandla afinyelela ku-180kg/mm ​​². Ezinye izinsimbi zinamandla angaphezu kwama-alloys e-titanium, kodwa amandla athile (isilinganiso samandla aqinile ukuya kokuminyana) ama-alloys e-titanium adlula lawo ezinsimbi zekhwalithi ephezulu. Ingxubevange ye-Titanium inokumelana nokushisa okuhle, izinga lokushisa eliphansi eliqinile, nokuqina kokuphuka, ngakho-ke ivamise ukusetshenziswa njengezingxenye zenjini yendiza kanye nezingxenye zerokhethi nezakhiwo ze-missile. I-Titanium alloy ingasetshenziswa futhi njengamathangi okugcina amafutha kanye ne-oxidizer, kanye nemikhumbi yokucindezela okukhulu. Manje sekunezibhamu ezizishintshayo, izimbongolo zodaka, namashubhu okudubula angenasici enziwe nge-titanium alloy. Embonini ye-petroleum, iziqukathi ezihlukahlukene, ama-reactors, izishintshi zokushisa, imibhoshongo ye-distillation, amapayipi, amaphampu nama-valve asetshenziswa kakhulu. I-Titanium ingasetshenziswa njengama-electrode, ama-condenser ezitshalo zikagesi, namadivayisi okulawula ukungcoliswa kwemvelo. Ingxubevange yenkumbulo ye-nickel ye-Titanium isetshenziswe kakhulu kumathuluzi namamitha. Kwezokwelapha, i-titanium ingasetshenziswa njengamathambo okwenziwa nezinsimbi ezihlukahlukene.
