Titanium is predominantly found in the Earth's crust and is the ninth-most abundant element. It is almost always bonded to other elements in mineral forms. The most significant minerals for titanium production are ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2). These minerals are primarily sourced from placer deposits and hard rock mining in countries like Australia, South Africa, Canada, Norway, and Ukraine. Although titanium is relatively widespread, its extraction and processing are challenging and costly, which explains why titanium metal and its alloys are typically used in high-performance applications, such as aerospace, medical implants, and high-stress engineering components. Environmental considerations also play a crucial role in the extraction and processing of titanium, as the methods employed can have significant ecological impacts.
