Definition of titanium. : a silvery-gray light strong metallic element obtained from ilmenite and rutile and used especially in alloys and combined in refractory materials, pigments, and coatings â see element table.
TITANIUM is a low-density element (ap-. proximately 60% of the density of steel and. superalloys) that can be strengthened greatly by. alloying and deformation processing. (Charac-. teristic properties of elemental titanium are. given in Table 2.1.) Titanium is nonmagnetic. and has good heat-transfer properties.
