Titanium is a very useful metal due to its hard strength, low density and ductile features.

Because of this, it is commonly used mixed with other metals and non-metals (alloy) such as aluminium. Titanium is widely used by aerospace and marine engineering departments, it's resistance to corrosion means they are great for making aeroplanes and naval ships.
