Titanium

ti·ta·ni·um | tī-ˈtā-nē-əm

noun

A silvery-gray, lightweight, strong, metallic element with atomic number 22 which is obtained from Ilmenite and Rutile

Titanium is an element on the periodic table with the atomic number of 22. This element is metallic and has a silverish gray look to it. It is lighter than many other metals but highly durable and strong and therefore used in a variety of applications. It is obtained from Rutile and Ilmenite naturally and while not common, is highly sought after for its range of applications. Titanium rings were popularized in the 1990s because they are hypoallergenic and lightweight. Wedding bands in particular are not commonly made from titanium because they can be worn in a variety of settings without risk of corrosion.
