钛的特性（Characteristics of titanium） A metallic element, gray, that burns in nitrogen and has a high melting point. Titanium and titanium alloys are new structural materials, mainly used in aerospace industry and marine industry. From the discovery of titanium to pure products, it took more than 100 years. The real use of titanium, to understand its true colors, is after 1940s. The geographical surface of the ten km thick formation, containing titanium 6/1000, more than copper 61 times. Just a handful of dirt from the ground, which contains a few thousandths of titanium, the world reserves of more than ten million tons of titanium ore is not rare. There are a million tons of sand on the beach, these two kinds of titanium and zirconium sand than heavy minerals is mixed in the sand in the sea, after millions of years around the clock to washing, heavy ilmenite and zircon sand washed together in the long coastline, forming a piece of titanium zirconium ore layer and. This seam is a kind of black sand, usually several centimeters to tens of centimeters thick. Titanium is not magnetic, and nuclear submarines constructed of titanium do not have to worry about magnetic mines. In 1947, people began smelting titanium in factories. In those days, the output was only 2 tons. Production surged to 20 thousand tons in 1955. In 1972, the annual output reached 200 thousand tons. The hardness of titanium is almost the same as that of steel, but it weighs almost half of the same volume of steel. Although titanium is slightly heavier than aluminum, its hardness is 2 times larger than that of aluminum. Now, in space rockets and missiles, a great deal of titanium is used instead of steel. According to statistics, at present, the world every year for space navigation titanium has reached more than one thousand tons. Very fine titanium powder, or a good fuel for the rocket, so titanium is known as cosmic metal, space metal. Titanium has a good heat resistance and has a melting point of up to
