Titanium History - Titanium was first discovered by a clergyman and amateur chemist William Gregor in 1791 in Menachan Valley Cornwall. He discovered it when he found a red brown calx in gun powder like sand which he analysed and which he could not identify. Titanium was then independently discovered by a Berlin scientist Martin Heinrich Klaproth who named the element the mythological Titans who were first sons of the earth.

Although discovered at this early stage it would be another century before it would be possible to isolate the metal. Scientists who failed in their quest were Vauquelin, Heinrich Rose, Bezelius and Klaproth himself. Titanium was first isolated as 95% pure in 1887 by Lars Nilson and Otto Pettersson. Some years later in 1910, titanium was isolated at 99% purity by Matthew Albert Hunter at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in cooperation with the General Electric Company. Until 1946 it remained a bit of a curiosity and it wasn't until 1946 that commercial production began with a process demonstrated by William Justin Kroll of Luxembourg who showed that titanium could be produced commercially by reducing titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) with magnesium. He is now recognised as the father of this modern industry which is widely used for the production of titanium metal today.
