The Element Titanium is defined as a strong, low-density, highly corrosion-resistant, lustrous white metallic element that occurs widely in igneous rocks and is used to alloy aircraft metals for low weight, strength, and high-temperature stability. The word Titanium originates the Greek word titanos meaning Titans from Greek mythology. The Titans were depicted as a race of powerful deities whom are descendants of Gaia and Uranus that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. Titanium was discovered over 200 years ago by Reverend William Gregor in Cornwall and its original name back then was Menachite. Titanium got its current name given to it by a German chemist named Dr. Martin H Klaproth who named it after the Titans in Greek mythology. It took klaproth years to industrialise his new found element because the technique of isolating the titanium from its ore was unknown.
