ટાઇટેનિયમ: આવૃત્તિઓ વચ્ચેનો તફાવત

 

ટાઇટેનિયમને લોખંડ, અલ્યુમિનિયમ, વેનેડિયમ, મોલિબ્ડેનમ તથા અન્ય તત્વો સથે મિશ્ર ધાઉઓ બનાવે છે જે મજબૂત , હળવી હોય છે અને હવાઈ વાહનો

 

The two most useful properties of the metal form are corrosion resistance and the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal.<ref>{{cite book|title=TITANIUM: A Technical Guide|year=1988|author=Matthew J.
