My name is Dan; I’m 30 years old construction engineer. I first encountered titanium at some point during my career, while working at a special building project. In the beginning, it was just one of the many materials that I have worked it, and I though no more of it than I thought of steel, cooper, aluminum or any other common metal that passed through my hands.

But there are some things out there that arouse our curiosity, that differ from others of their class, that have a certain something that makes you want to learn more. Titanium is such a thing.

As I delved more in my research of this noble metal, I soon found out that my gut has not fooled me (it never does) and I found something worth being curios about.

Mysterious, extravagant, fascinating, noble, unusual, vital, critical are just one of the few terms that have been used by scientists, engineers and the grand public alike to describe this metal. As more applications continued to appear, the metal gained several nick-names “Wonder – metal”, “Cinderella – metal”, “Glamour – metal” and “The Promise metal”

As in all things, some of what is said about this element is true, some is not. I want to share with you my knowledge and expertise that I have gathered during several years of research and expose titanium to you down to its final atom.

Please understand that there are some unique properties that have yet to be fully explained by the scientists. There is no ultimate truth about anything. But there are other things that you must know about it, because, every passing day, it invades more of our environment, as manufacturers use it in more and more products and applications, and I suspect there will be a day when it will become as common as plastic.

Until then…see you around here!
