“…In the earth’s crust it occurs in the form of minerals such as titanite, anatase, ilmenite, brookite, perovskite and rutile, with a content of only 0.61% (the ninth most abundant element) [ 1 ]. The pure metal and its alloys have a wide range of applications in many areas, inter alia: biomedical, chemical, offshore, transportation (aviation and automotive), energy and recreation [ 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 ]. Titanium is completely resistant to moist hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, chlorine compounds, sulfides, sulfur, ammonia and hydrogen peroxide.…”
