Titanium is a silvery, white metal of low density, high tensile strength and high corrosion resistance. It is not found as a free metal in nature and the first samples of metallic titanium were not produced until 1791.

structural metal (or alloy) in aircraft, spacecraft, racing yachts and racing bicycles, used because of its high tensile strength; low density; high melting point; low thermal conductivity; high corrosion resistance (particularly in salt water) surgical implants, used for its high tensile strength; low density; high corrosion resistance; minimal allergic response in human tissue
5. Steel is a hard, strong, grey or bluish-grey alloy of iron with carbon and usually other elements, used extensively as a structural and fabricating material. Different elemental makeup of Steel alloys allows it to be classified into a variety of different alloys that all have different properties, and thus different uses. Structural Steel is soft, malleable, ductile and corrodes rapidly, making it perfect to use in car bodies, nails, roofing and pipes. Stainless Steel has a high corrosion and tensile strength, and is also abrasion resistance. It is regularly used in kitchen sinks, surgical instruments and cutlery. Brass is an alloy made from a base of copper and zinc, and the proportion of the two affect the colour of the alloy. It is typically a golden-yellow colour that is often used in costume jewellery. A red bronze can be made from a higher percentage of copper compared to zinc. Solder is made from a mixture of lead and tin. The proportion of the two affects the melting point of the alloy. Solder is a fusible alloy used to join wires and electrical components in circuits. It adheres strongly to other metals in the solid and liquid states. 6. Metals are used constantly in contemporary society, and each metal chosen for something is chosen based on a range of properties and other factors. A metal may be chosen because it has physical properties that make it suitable for the task, like copper being chosen for wires because it is ductile and unreactive. A metal, however, may also be chosen for its abundance and ease of extraction, such as Copper, Gold and Silver. The location of a deposit and the demand of the metal of a metal also affects it choice for a commercial use. 7. Metals are not an inexhaustible commodity. There are limited amounts of every metal, therefore making recycling a very important stage in metal use. The recycling of aluminium, which is regularly used in food cans, is very important as it ensures the continued use of it in the future and limits the impact that overuse has on the environment.
