TABLE OF CONTENTS Titanium alloys have a high strength-to-weight ratio. They are used as armor plate in modern war planes and propeller shafts, rigging, and other parts of ships where high strength and resistance to salt water are required. Titanium metal is produced by reducing titanium tetrachloride with magnesium. Titanium is a lustrous, white metal with low density and good strength. The specific gravity of titanium is 4.54 g/cm 3, with a weight of 0.164 lb/in 3. The pure metal burns in air and is the only element that burns in nitrogen gas.
