Titanium is one of the strongest metal alloys and is also lightweight and durable. The metal alloy was not much used till late 1940s. This metal is mostly alloyed with manganese, iron and aluminium. Being a strong metal it is has a wide range of uses.
As compared to steel it is almost twice as strong taking in to consideration the ratio of weight and density to strength while even though being heavier than aluminium it is several times stronger than the same. It is used in as simple things as eyeglasses. It has a variety of commercial uses. Be it bicycle frames automobile and plane parts, it is widely used.
In medical world, titanium is used in pins because of their non-reactive nature with bone and flesh. Many surgical instruments and body piercing rings are also made of titanium. It has a strong resistance to corrosion from sea water and hence it is used to make parts like propellers which are constantly exposed to sea water. In military also it is widely used with tanks, submarines, combat helicopters being coated on the exterior with titanium alloys.
