Titanium is predominantly found in the Earth's crust, being the ninth most abundant element. It is usually not found as a pure metal but in minerals like ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2), which are primarily sourced from igneous and metamorphic rocks. Significant deposits of titanium minerals are located in Australia, South Africa, Canada, Norway, and Ukraine. The process of extracting titanium from its ores involves the Kroll process, where the ore is converted to titanium tetrachloride before being reduced to metallic titanium. Due to its high strength, low density, and corrosion resistance, titanium is widely used in aerospace, medical devices, and in the production of strong, lightweight alloys for various industries.
