Interpretation:
The reason fortitanium to be used as a material which is used in bio-medical implant even if it is most anodic material needs to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Titanium is a chemical element having atomic number 22. Titanium is designated by the symbol Ti.Titanium is metal which is anodic in nature and which can be treated as the material used for the biomedical implants. Titanium was discovered by William Gregor in 1791 in Cornwall, Great Britain. The element has a number of mineral deposit and ilmenite. These are found in the Earth's Crust and lithosphere. Titanium is alloyed with different material such as aluminum, vanadium to produce lightweight alloys which then is used for jet engines and missiles. Titanium is corrosion resistance and is the highest element in strength to density ratio.
