Titanium is not rare in the Earth's crust, being the ninth most abundant element, making up about 0.63% of the Earth's crust by mass. However, it is seldom found in its pure form and is mostly obtained from the minerals rutile and ilmenite. The perception of rarity often comes from the complexity and cost of the extraction and processing techniques required to produce the highly reactive titanium metal in a usable form. Titanium’s high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and other unique properties make it a valuable material for various applications, including aerospace, medical implants, and sporting goods. Despite its abundance in the earth, the challenges associated with its extraction and refinement contribute to its high value.
