History of titanium discovery. Physical and mechanical properties.
Discovery of titanium
Titanium in the form of TiO2 oxide was first obtained by the English mineralogist W. Gregor in 1790. In 1795 the German chemist M. H. Klaproth succeeded in reducing the oxide TiO2 to pure metal.
Mineralogy
The element titanium is the most abundant element in the Earth’s crust, where its content is 0.57%. It is found in over 70 minerals, the most important of which are: the minerals rutile
