What is the appearance of Titanium at room temperature and what is it used for?

Titanium at room temperature has a silvery grey-white
metallic color and a lustrous appearance.


This is a very
strong and light weight metal with the highest strength to weight ratio of all metals.
It is the reason why titanium is mixed with many metals like iron, aluminum, etc. to

used extensively as catalysts in the industrial production of many organic substances
and as catalytic converters to convert harmful gases to relatively harmless
alternates.
