Titanium may be anodized to vary the thickness of the surface oxide layer, causing optical interference fringes and a variety of bright colors. [124] With this coloration and chemical inertness, titanium is a popular metal for body piercing. [125] Titanium has a minor use in dedicated non-circulating coins and medals.
As a metal, titanium is recognized for its high strength-to-weight ratio. [35] It is a strong metal with low density that is quite ductile (especially in an oxygen-free environment), [36] lustrous, and metallic-white in color. [37]
Naturally occurring titanium (22 Ti) is composed of five stable isotopes; 46 Ti, 47 Ti, 48 Ti, 49 Ti and 50 Ti with 48 Ti being the most abundant (73.8% natural abundance).Twenty-one radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable being 44 Ti with a half-life of 60 years, 45 Ti with a half-life of 184.8 minutes, 51 Ti with a half-life of 5.76 minutes, and 52 Ti with a half-life of ...
Titanium aluminide (chemical formula TiAl), commonly gamma titanium, is an intermetallic chemical compound. It is lightweight and resistant to oxidation [1] and heat, but has low ductility. The density of γ-TiAl is about 4.0 g/cm 3. It finds use in several applications including aircraft, jet engines, sporting equipment and automobiles.
Approximate specific stiffness for various materials. No attempt is made to correct for materials whose stiffness varies with their density.

Titanium alloys are alloys that contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures). They are light in weight, have extraordinary corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures.
