Titanium 100g for element collectors
Titanium is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a lustrous transition metal known for its exceptional strength, low density, and corrosion resistance. Titanium is a popular material in various industries due to its unique combination of properties. Here are some key characteristics of titanium: 1. Strength: Titanium is renowned for its high strength-to-weight ratio. It is as strong as steel but about 45% lighter. 2. Corrosion resistance: Titanium has excellent resistance to corrosion, even in harsh environments such as seawater or acidic conditions. It forms a protective oxide layer on its surface, which helps prevent further corrosion. 3. Low density: Titanium is relatively lightweight compared to other metals, making it suitable for applications where weight reduction is important, such as aerospace engineering. 4. Biocompatibility: Titanium is biologically inert, meaning it is non-toxic and does not elicit an adverse reaction when in contact with living tissues. This property makes it a valuable material for medical implants, such as joint replacements or dental implants. 5. Heat resistance: Titanium has a high melting point, making it suitable for applications that involve high temperatures, such as jet engines or parts in the aerospace industry. 6. Non-magnetic: Titanium is non-magnetic, which is advantageous in certain industries like electronics or medical devices where magnetic interference needs to be avoided. Due to its unique properties, titanium finds applications in a wide range of industries, including aerospace, automotive, marine, medical, sports equipment, and jewelry, among others. It is commonly used in aircraft components, prosthetics, chemical processing equipment, heat exchangers, and high-end watches.

1980 The Gold Society Limited edition 18.9mm 4.1g Gold Medallion at 75% gold

2007 24ct 999.9 Gold 1/10oz R1 Afrikaner Nation Cultural Series NGC PF69 Ultra Cameo Mintage 734<br /> <br /> In 1652, a small group of employees of the Dutch East India Company were settled on the southern tip of Africa in order to establish a refreshment station for the company's ships en route to the Far East. In 1795, the British took over the Cape. Between 1824 and 1838, a number of Afrikaners, discontent with British rule, trekked deep into the interior with the purpose of establishing independent republics. Two major Boer Republics came into being, The Transvaal and the Orange Free State. <br /> <br /> Voortrekkers with ox wagon in the Great Trek depicted on reverse designed by A. Minnie. South Africa coat of arms on obverse. </p>
