All About Titanium – An Article from Berkley Point
A chemical element in the periodic table that has the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a light, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including resistance to sea water and chlorine) transition metal with a white-silvery-metallic colour. Titanium is used in strong light-weight alloys (most notably with iron and aluminium), and in powdered form to other materials, such as graphite composites. Its most common compound, titanium dioxide, is used in white pigments. Examples in which white pigment, consisting of titanium oxide, is used, are correction fluid and commonly used white paint to repaint walls. It is also used in toothpaste, white road marking paints and in white fireworks. Substances containing titanium are called titaniferous. Read Article

R&D Whitepaper: Oxygen Impurity Control for Reactive and Refractory Metal Alloys Produced on a Plasma Gas Atomizer
A barrier to the broader adoption of refractory and reactive metal powders (like titanium and its alloys) is the stringent control of the chemistry of AM-suitable powders. The addition of interstitial gases such as oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen can influence the processing of powder via AM and will significantly alter the mechanical properties of the printed part.
