Known to be one of the most lightweight and hard metals, titanium as a useful metal was not commonly used until the 1940s. However, its unique characteristics make it ideal for use in a number of applications. Today, titanium is used for several purposes. As titanium is 45% lighter than steel, it is used for design of automobiles, spaceships, vehicles, etc. Due to its resistance to corrosion and light weight, doctors use the metal in the medical field. In addition, as the metal can be colored easily, various titanium accessories such as bracelets, cufflinks, pendants, rings, etc are being manufactured.
