Titan is a shiny and metallic white transition metal and belongs to the titanium group. Titanium is hard but ductile and is also known as a conductive metal due to its low density. It is corrosion and temperature resistant, which is why titanium or titanium alloys are used for propellers and other boat bases, but also for aircraft construction, rockets and other profiles. Titanium has no negative effects on organisms or the environment, which is why it is also used in the medical technology sector for hip joints and bone replacement parts or other implants.
