'''Titanium''' (pronounced /taɪˈteɪniəm/) is a chemical element with the symbol '''Ti''' and atomic number 22. It is a light, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including to sea water and chlorine) transition metal with a grayish color. The metal is highly resistant to corrosion, including in sea [[water]] and chlorine. Titanium was discovered in England by [[Wikipedia:William Gregor|William Gregor]] in 1791 and named by [[Wikipedia:Martin Heinrich Klaproth|Martin Heinrich Klaproth]] for the Titans of [[List of references to Greek mythology in the Halo series|Greek mythology]].
