- n. A strong, low-density, highly corrosion-resistant, lustrous white metallic element that occurs widely in igneous rocks and is used to alloy aircraft metals for low weight, strength, and high-temperature stability. Atomic number 22; atomic weight 47.87 melting point 1,660°C; boiling point 3,287°C; specific gravity 4.54; valence 2, 3, 4. See Table at element.

- n. As obtained by Moissan in the fused condition by means of an electric furnace, although not quite free from carbon, metallic titanium is not unlike silicon, but whiter, lustrous, very hard, but brittle, of specific gravity 4.87. It burns when heated in the air, and is attacked by the common mineral acids.
- n. Chemical symbol, Ti; atomic weight, 48.1. A metal which is not found native, but as artificially prepared is a dark-gray powder having a decided metallic luster, and resembling iron in appearance.

Inspired by and named after actor James Gandolfini, the new Soarway Diver SEAL in titanium is the biggest, toughest, and most recognizable Kobold watch to date.
Since titanium is one of the 9th most abundant metals around, it is relatively inexpensive, thus, it will usually cost less than platinum and sometimes less than gold.
While titanium is not rare, it is one of the strongest materials around, compared to other materials of similar weight.
The cost in titanium jewelry is not for the raw metal but the artistry and labor involved in designing the ring.
Instead, the titanium is simply encapsulated in fibrous tissue.
I'll just wait until they come up with matching super-thin titanium shaft arrows with spun composite vanes and gold plated nocks.
