Voneinander unabhängig wurde es 1791 von Rev. W. Gregor in Creed, Cornwall, UK, und 1795 von M.H. Klaproth in Berlin, Deutschland, entdeckt.
[Nach den Titanen, den Söhnen der Erdgöttin, benannt]
French: titane
English: titanium
Italian: titanio
Spanish: titanio
Beschreibung: Hartes, glänzendes, silberfarbiges Metall. Wegen einer passivierenden Oxidschicht gegen Korrosion widerstandsfähig. Pulverförmiges Metall jedoch verbrennt an Luft. Viele Säuren (außer HF, H3PO4 und konzentrierte H2SO4) und Alkalien greifen es nicht an. TiO2 ist ein bedeutendes Weißpigment. Verwendung als Metall im chemischen Apparatebau, für Leichtmetallegierungen, medizinische Prothesen usw.
