The raw material for preparing metal titanium is mainly rutile, which contains more than 96% TiO2. Countries that lack rutile ore, such as the Soviet Union, use "high-titanium slag" made of ilmenite, which contains about 90% TiO2. Due to the rising price of natural rutile and the decreasing reserves, all countries tend to use ilmenite to make titanium-rich materials, namely high-titanium slag and artificial rutile. Titanium was discovered in 1791, and the first pure titanium was made in 1910, more than a hundred years later. The reason is that titanium is very active at high temperature, and it is easy to combine with oxygen, nitrogen, carbon and other elements, and very harsh conditions are required to extract pure titanium.
