Availability and Extraction: Titanium is considered the nineth most abundant element on Earth. Commercially, it is extracted from rutile and ilmenite, being produced through the Kroll or Hunter processes. It can be found in meteorites, with the largest reserves located in China, Australia, India, Brazil, and Norway. China, Mozambique, and South Africa being the main producers.

Applications: Titanium is a remarkable metal known for its exceptional properties, including lightness and corrosion resistance. These characteristics make it highly valued in various industries, from aerospace to medical.

Aerospace and Automotive Industry: Manufacturing lightweight and durable alloys for engines, rockets, and aircraft.

Jewelry and Watches: Utilized in jewelry and watches due to its lustrous appearance and oxidation resistance.

Cosmetics: Used in the formulation of sunscreens to absorb ultraviolet radiation.

Pigments: Employed in the production of pigments for textile paints, glazes, and plastics

Medical industry: Used in prosthetics due to its high strength, biocompatibility, and low oxidative potential, as well as in cancer treatment, allowing radiation transmission with low rejection rates by the body.
