What's the difference between ilmenite and titanium?

Ilmenite


Definition:

  • (n.) Titanic iron. See Menaccanite.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) In the mid-2000s, Madagascar had given the green light to two large-scale mining projects: Ambatovy , a $8bn (£6.4bn) nickel and cobalt project developed by a consortium led by Sherritt International, and QMM , a $1bn ilmenite project developed by Rio Tinto.

Titanium


Definition:

  • (n.) An elementary substance found combined in the minerals manaccanite, rutile, sphene, etc., and isolated as an infusible iron-gray amorphous powder, having a metallic luster. It burns when heated in the air. Symbol Ti. Atomic weight 48.1.

Example Sentences:

  • (1) The femoral component, made of Tivanium with titanium mesh attached to it by a new process called diffusion bonding, retains superalloy fatigue strength characteristics.
  • (2) Previous work has shown that corticocancellous bone chips placed in a titanium chamber with an arteriovenous vascular pedicle will result in a pre-formed vascularized bone graft.
  • (3) Since the introduction of osseointegrated titanium implants for bone-anchored facial and dental prostheses, an increasing number of irradiated patients are being treated with this technique.
  • (4) A knee simulator was used to study the wear of carbon fiber reinforced UHMWPE (Poly Two) (Poly Two is a registered trademark of Zimmer, USA) tibial and patellar components against Ti-6A1-4V, titanium nitride (TiN)-coated Ti-6A1-4V, and cobalt-chromium-molybdenum femoral components.
  • (5) Using the osseointegration method, a prospective study was conducted involving seven adult patients who were treated with titanium implants used as rigid anchorage units.
  • (6) Titanium-nickel alloy composed of 50% by weight of each metal has unique thermal shape-memory properties, with a transition temperature of 20 degrees C. Each stent consists of one wire with a diameter of 0.9 mm.
  • (7) New light-curable adhesive opaque resins were prepared using 4-methacryloxyethyl trimellitate anhydride (4-META), triethylene glycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA), di (methacryloxyethyl) trimethylhexamethylene diurethane (UDMA) and titanium dioxide.
  • (8) X-ray microprobe analysis identified particles which related to the known exposures, superimposed on a background of other particles related to smoking (kaolinite and mica) or to the general environment (silicon, titanium, and iron).
  • (9) The nickel-titanium wires, however, showed a clear deviation form the linearity with a curviform course.
  • (10) We present eight cases of chemical burns of the eyes from titanium tetrachloride, an acidic corrosive liquid.
  • (11) The difficulties encountered in casting titanium and its alloys have until recently hindered any widespread use of titanium in restorative dentistry.
  • (12) A prospective controlled study was undertaken in which in 100 children a titanium ventilation tube was inserted in one ear, and a Paparella silicone tube was inserted in the contralateral ear as a control.
  • (13) Results demonstrated excellent bone adaptation to both titanium and ceramic implants.
  • (14) A new process of plasma-spraying hydroxyapatite--an entirely biocompatible, bioceramic material--onto porous, titanium alloy components promotes bone ingrowth into the components resulting in implant fixation, which is superior to current methods of cemented or cementless fixation.
  • (15) The titanium alloy strips were treated with citric acid, stannous fluoride, tetracycline HCl, chlorhexidine gluconate, hydrogen peroxide, chloramine T, sterile water, a plastic sonic scaler tip, and an air-powder abrasive unit.
  • (16) In vitro tests demonstrated approximately sevenfold greater filter length shortening (a measure of filter splaying) for the titanium GF in response to a given applied load.
  • (17) It was found that Ti(IV) inhibited oxidation when the substrate, procarbazine, was coordinated to titanium.
  • (18) In the case of titanium there were no cells in the interface which consisted instead of a proteoglycan layer of about 200-400 A width.
  • (19) An uncommon complication of percutaneous insertion of the titanium Greenfield filter is angulation at discharge with clustering of the limbs to one side of the vena cava.
  • (20) Plasma protein exchange reactions were also studied on hydrophilic titanium (Ti), vanadium (V), and silver (Ag) surfaces.
