"Titanium has better corrosion resistance than stainless steel. It is a better conductor of heat and electricity than Group 3 (Sc group) metals. Titanium metal and alloys of Titanium with Aluminium are used extensively in the aircraft industry in jet and gas turbine engines and in airframes. Supersonic aircraft like Concorde can use Al as the structural skin (m.p. 660oC) by limiting the speed to Mach 2.2 (2.2 times the speed of sound)."

"If and when SST (supersonic transport) planes are made which fly at three times the speed of sound, it is probable that they will be made of Ti (m.p. 1667oC). Ti is also used in marine equipment and in chemical plant. Small amounts of Ti alloyed with steel harden and toughen the steel. World production of Titanium metal is almost 50 000 tonnes per year."
