Another interesting aspect of titanium is that it is one of the few materials that bone will actually bond with. That is why it's a material of choice in surgery

[@Earthenfist]

etmax1 Really a neat thing. You might not be able to have adamantium bonded to your skeleton, but I'm betting a bit of titanium wire might not be out of the question. Of course, you then need to worry about getting it there without harming the rest of the flesh around the bones.

[@Earthenfist]

***** An interesting thought is that there could potentially be lifeforms with titanium skeletons in that manner.

[@etmax1]

Earthenfist I'm not sure there is a natural way for elemental titanium to make its way into a body, I'm not saying your wrong, only that I don't see a a way that it could occur naturally

[@Earthenfist]

***** Technically Adamantium isn't even a metal. It's a composite of metals and polymers and ceramics that must be kept above a certain temperature to remain liquid- which then crystallizes into its 'indestructible' structure on cooling.

[@SeaJayBelfast]

etmax1 Ahh, so that's why they used it for my shoulder plate. Also, as it's not magnetic, thankfully I don't go off in airport metal detectors every time!

[@TheSciGuys]

Sodium cars in the first rain storm....BOOM!! love it :) Thanks for a really educational video.

[@Kualinar]

Also, sodium is very soft, so, you need a LOT of it to get something strong enough to build a car. Even then, the sodium car may just bend away from it's own weight.

Actually its a lot like nickel.

[@fukpoeslaw3613]

@@zxwmabcdef5439 but why?

[@IraTheSquire]

Titanium as hip replacement is not just because of its density to strength ration. It is also closer in elasticity to bone (which stops a problem known as stress shielding where the implant takes all the stress and not the bone, and so the bone around the implant dissolves) and it is also biocompatible and non-toxic.

[@killman369547]

titanium will also form molecular bonds with bone. this is great for tooth implants because the titanium forms a solid permanent bond with the jaw as strong as the original tooth.

[@ViaticalTree]

Now I understand Bob Ross' titanium white paint that he uses to paint happy clouds.

TItanium is used as the covering agent in paint to make it opaque / solid. Prior to 1970 both lead and mercury were used for this same purpose but they are toxic.

[@DSNugent91]

+Cody Golden I had a frontal lobe brain tumour when I was kid. They had to remove the front of my skull and cut out the tumour but couldn't put my skull back on as the bone was to weak from the tumour so they reinforced my skull with titanium from my eyebrows to the back of my head. bone has grown over the titanium now but ya can hear the difference between my head and somebody else's head when you knock on them.

I love titanium, I have loved it ever since I was assigned it for my 6th grade element project many years back. I have a few folding knives with 6AL4V titanium handles, along with a few key chain tools. Pretty expensive, but just really cool to handle, use, and carry every day, not to mention a good conversation starter.

[@shawn576]

Interesting video. I didn't realize titanium was so abundant.

[@ryanpiuma]

There was a huge titanium craze for making bike frames (especially mountain bikes) 20 years ago. My father bought me a Kona "Hei Hei" around 20 years ago. I have gone through a few bikes since, but STILL ride that Kona often. It may be my favourite bike for both sentimental and performance reasons. It will last forever... unless I crash and need a new hip. Then it's getting melted down and going in me. Another great vid - I ALWAYS LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR LATEST UPLOAD!!!

[@carabela125]

Also, it is usually not attacked by the body's immune system.

[@Zorro9129]

Recently an alloy of gold and titanium was developed that is even better for medical implants.

[@monkeman7710]

[@SIMKINETICS]

For most metals used in engineering, stiffness to density ratios are very similar; meaning that the metal's stiffness is proportional to its density. The ratio is called specific stiffness, calculated as modulus of elasticity divided by specific gravity (in engineering terms). Titanium is a notable exception because it has a specific stiffness ~20% higher than other engineering metals, which isn't really very much difference. Titanium is slightly denser than aluminum, but is stiffer by only slightly more (20%) than a proportion predicted by its density, a surprise to some because the word 'titanium' implies great strength. The actual value of titanium as a construction material has more to do with its properties as an alloy & its non-reactivity that makes it more corrosion-resistant. Fabrication & machining of titanium & its alloys are problematic because of its work-hardening properties that tend to dull cutting tools rapidly, and its special welding requirements. Higher costs of titanium products are more associated with fabrication than raw material costs. These are the reasons that it's used only for a few specific applications that require its advantages.

[@SIMKINETICS]

David DeLang Interesting! Thanks for that info!

[@numberpirate]

+SIMKINETICS Yeah thanks a lot for explaining that, super cool:)

[@adambartlett114]

This is 100% true & it was disappointing that I had to search so far down, to find anyone pointing out the known obvious. Titanium is an utter pita to fabricate with & requires special machines, materials, protective gear, etc. That's its real reason for not being used in most instances. I've got plenty of ti stuff, in different alloys, ranging from ultralight pots (not for gourmet cooking) to knives (horrible edge retention) to stoves to fuel bottles, etc. Invariably, ti costs an arm & a leg to fabricate, that's after costing another limb for raw materials

[@ian1184]

Great videos, great presenter, a bit Einstein looking. I am sure he has heard that before and won't mind the comparison. Chemistry is so incredibly interesting.

[@AlRoderick]

Titanium is used in the engine bells of rockets, and that problem of titanium reacting with oxygen when superheated is a serious engineering problem. The engine is designed so that the oxygen is concentrated more heavily in the middle of the engine and surrounded by the combustible fuel component of the propellant mix. That way almost no free oxygen atoms can get to the walls of the combustion chamber without reacting with fuel.

[@jbturk]

+Alexander Roderick I was wondering about that application. Thanks for the explanation.

[@sbreheny]

+Alexander Roderick Hmmmm, most rocket engines I've seen have an inner layer of copper tubing inside the "bell" nozzle and cryogenic fuel is run through that to keep it cool. Copper is used because of its extreme thermal conductivity. I can certainly believe that the outer portion could be titanium but I've never seen the inside made of it. It is noticeable because engines which have been outside on display for a long time will develop a green patina on the inside of the bell, like the Statue of Liberty.

[@numberpirate]

+Alexander Roderick Does Titanium Oxide make a passivating layer like zinc or lead do?

[@jaredfocose2048]

[@Zorro9129]

What would happen if you used an alloy of titanium and iridium?

[@PYR0NinjaPXG]

Exactly, when I had my spinal fusion, they use four titanium screws and two titanium rods that are drilled into the vertebrae. So, over time, it really does "fuse."

[@BaddaBigBoom]

My bike's frame is made of titanium (mostly: it's alloyed with vanadium and a couple of other substances). This application is particularly good because there is little metal fatigue associated with frequent and hard use so the frame keeps its responsiveness pretty much forever.

[@Cwillz303]

Titanium seems similar to how aluminum was back in the day; the ore is common enough, but [and I'm not sure if this is true, let me know if I'm mistaken) but back in Napoleon's day the process to convert it to aluminum metal was extremely expensive. So expensive that when the fancy guests came, Napoleon busted out the aluminum cutlery because it showed off his wealth. Silverware was for more normal guests.

[@Cosmalano]

Correct! But remember it's Napoleon III you're referring to, and not the big bad Napoleon everyone knows about.

[@Cwillz303]

electrocat1 Oh, I didn't remember that... thanks!

[@BoredErica]

Cwillz303 Time to bust out my titanium cutlery! w00t!

[@JohnDoe-zl6qw]

+Cwillz303 Yeah, it comes down to the energy needed to refine it from ore to metal; expensive. As you stated, aluminum was at one time considered very precious due to how difficult it was (at the time) to refine it. An aluminum capstone was used on the Washington monument for this very reason; because of its perceived value back then.

[@baruchben-david4196]

The top of the Washington Monument is made of aluminum. When it was made, aluminum was quite expensive.

[@Ofjelge]

True! In dentistry we actually have the option of creating titanium bridges (a type of dental prosthesis), which are light-weight, tissue friendly and strong, but they're really expensive as they have to be molded and welded in a totally oxygen free environment. Most dental technicians opt to mill the metal into the form they want, as this is a lot cheaper than molding it. However, I doubt that it would be neither cheap nor easy to mill a fully functional car from a solid block of titanium;-)

[@trespire]

Yeeesss, thank you thank you Brady for this video. Titanium is one of my favorite metals. Not only does it have a high tensile strength, and a low density (around 2, like aluminum) making it a very interesting engineering material, it also has a high melting point, making it good for parts like jet turbine blades (1500deg C) and other high temperature+pressure applications. Ti parts are nice to touch, they have an almost silky texture. Ti is also incredibly tough and wear resistant.

Sodium car ...

[@jellyfishattack]

One very reputable manufacturer of scuba gear has several lines of gloves and hoods which contain two layers of Ti foil, making them as warm as gear 1mm+ thicker than others. They increase dexterity and improve heat retention. Even putting on a 5mm hood isn't terribly fun: you have to hold your breath half way through the process, as they must be very snug, but not for long, while you wish there were a 'shoehorn' for your hood. They really are great - I dive in Georgian Bay, Lake Huron, and smaller lakes, and I love them. Most of the same company's gloves and boots also contain Kevlar. I don't feel that it would be proper here to include the manufacturer's name, but you could easily look it up via Google. They're essential to diving in 40F (or colder) water with a 13mm thick wet suit. I imagine few people know of this use for Ti?

[@Arvak777]

Ive seen titanium in its metal form in fairly large quantities My brother needed to get his left leg lengthen by 2 inches because he was born with different length of feet (which could damage his spine over the years). So at around age 18 he went for surgery and received an apparatus known as "Ilizarov fixator". It had several large rings around the operated foot with several large and small metal barbs holding the bones in place. The fixator pulled the bones forcing them to fill the gap

[@JohnDoe-zl6qw]

Not sure if they have the most, but certainly a lot. Met a guy who worked in the navy at one of their sub-building bases. He said the Russians had enough titanium they could afford to make their sub hulls out of it. It allowed them to dive to deeper depths than comparable US subs. This was 30 years ago, though, so things may have changed in the interim.

[@dmac7128]

Yes they have a large supply. Many of their aircraft and some submarines were made of it. In a Cold War irony, the SR-71 Blackbird sourced it from Russia.

attack on titanium

[@andrestrujado]

Another application is in nitinol or nickel-titanium alloy wires and springs which is of great importance as a memory metal used in medicine. It can be deformed into any shape but upon warming, it returns to its original preset shape. Titanium metal can also be obtained from TiO2 using the thermite reaction, that is, aluminium powder + TiO2 plus sodium fluoride to prevent the oxidation of hot Ti metal in air.

Don't forget the titanium Osseointegration in the Hip replacement and Dental implants.

[@Ofjelge]

He forgot to mention that titanium, due to the titanium dioxide layer coating it, is extremely tissue friendly and is utilized in dental implants as well as hip implants. Research on dental implants have even shown bone cells clinging directly to the surface of the metal and usually the the jaw bone grows around the implant, fully incorporating it in the alveolar bone. Most other metals would just be rejected or coated with foreign body giant cells. It's incredible what this metal is capable of!
