Four years later, the German chemist Martin H. Klaproth also isolated a substance previously unknown, now known as <em>rutile<\/em> (TiO<sub>2<\/sub>). He demonstrated that <strong>the ilmenite of the parish priest Gregor and the rutile he discovered were minerals (oxides) of the same metal which he called titanium.<\/strong>\u00a0When choosing the name he was inspired by the Titans, the six sons of Uranus (the Sky) and Gea (the Earth), who in Greek mythology were defeated by Zeus and thrown into the Tartarus.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The discovery to the fine-tuning of a process for the production of pure titanium, however, took over a century:<\/strong> the production process in fact turned out to be highly complex due to the <strong>tendency of this metal to react with atmospheric gases and in particular with oxygen.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It was only in 1910 that Matthew A. Hunter produced a sufficiently substantial and pure amount to initiate studies on the properties of this new metal. The process consisted in <strong>reducing titanium tetrachloride with sodium.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Later on William J. Kroll fine-tuned a process in which he replaced sodium with magnesium and in 1937, in St. Petersburg, the first two tons of titanium were produced.<strong>\u00a0The Kroll process, despite being very expensive, is still the most commonly used method for the industrial production of titanium.<\/strong>\u00a0It should be noted that this is a <strong>production process that is far less efficient than the production of steel in the blast furnace,<\/strong> which can easily explain the reasons behind the high costs of titanium components, especially when compared with those made of steel.<\/p>\n<p>The actual industrial development of titanium, however, is thanks to the US army industry at the beginning of the 1940s and, later on in the middle of the cold war, to the Russians (starting from the early 1950s). For several decades in fact, <strong>titanium was classified as a strategic metal for the production of armaments and excluded from any significant distribution at a civil level<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The most significant example of this evidence is represented by the <strong>Lockheed SR-71 reconnaissance plane, better known historically as the &#8220;Blackbird&#8221;,<\/strong> made of 93% of its weight in titanium alloy, which broke a number of records such as the <em>fastest speed<\/em> ever reached by a piloted plane, 3,530 km \/ h, and the <em>maximum height<\/em> of almost 26,000 m. To be more accurate, <em>three different titanium alloys<\/em> were used for this aircraft: Ti-6Al-4V, Ti-5Al-2,5Sn and Ti-13V-11Cr-3Al (also known as B120VCA).<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_5382\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/il-trattamento-termico-della-lega-di-titanio-ti6al4v_01-2-1-1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-5382\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.tag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/il-trattamento-termico-della-lega-di-titanio-ti6al4v_01-2-1-1-300x169.jpg\" class=\"wp-image-5382 size-medium lazyload\" alt=\"Aereo Lockheed o &quot;Blackbird&quot;\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\"><p id=\"caption-attachment-5382\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-5382 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tag.it\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/il-trattamento-termico-della-lega-di-titanio-ti6al4v_01-2-1-1-300x169.jpg\" alt=\"Aereo Lockheed o &quot;Blackbird&quot;\" width=\"300\" height=\"169\"><\/noscript><\/a> Diag. 1: Lockheed SR-71 or &#8220;Blackbird&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Moreover, for at least three decades (from the mid-1950s to the late 1980s), <strong>titanium was rated as a flagship material for the American aerospace industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>At the end of the 1980s, with the end of the Cold War, the military constraints imposed up to that point on titanium were progressively lifted, hence allowing the development of many other fields of application including biomedical, architectural, chemical, jewellery, infrastructure and leisure equipment<\/strong> (tennis rackets, golf clubs, bicycle frames).
