Titanium Facts

The Discovery of Titanium was made by a Mr William Gregor who was both a clergyman and amateur chemist.

It was in Menachan Valley, Cornwall in 1791, where he discovered a reddish brown powdery sand, that he was unable to identify. It was four years later when Martin Heinrich Klaproth discovered the element in Berlin, and named it Titanium because of the mythological Titans, first sons of the earth.

It was not until 1910 that Titanium was eventually isolated at 99.9% purity by Matthew Alert Hunter in cooperation with G.E.C. However, it took until 1946, when William Kroll proved that Titanium could be commercially produced, by reducing titanium tetrachloride with magnesium.

It was then Department of Defence gave grants to finance the start up of the titanium industry, as they realised the importance of titanium based alloys within the aerospace industry for jets and engines. Titanium is now used in many other industries such as sporting equipment, military areas, architecture, medical industries, watch making and more recently, Jewellery.

Titanium properties

Titanium is a very strong and durable material and never corrodes or tarnishes. As well as this it is scratch resistant and hypoallergenic. Titanium has an amazing strength to light weight ratio which makes it the choice material for the construction of Formula One cars.

It is for these reasons, which make titanium an ideal choice for jewellery.

The titanium used in the manufacture of the jewellery sold on Quality Titanium is classed as commercial grade titanium which has 98% to 99% purity.
