Are there any alloys of titanium that are not as brittle as pure titanium?

There is a wide range of tatanium alloys. Take a look at the  provided link for a list of alloys with links to get detailed descriptions and chemistry (if needed).

Intermetallic bonding is definitely confusing....\n\nFirst to review titanium chemically....All 'transition' metals are called as such because the the electrons in their outer-most shells keep shifting from one orbital to another and never stay put. This is why transition metals form compounds with variable oxidation states/valencies, as they don't always donate a fixed number of electrons, unlike group 1 and 2 elements which always donate 1 and 2 electrons respectively. So if a transition metal like titanium is to combine with another metal, then the resulting compound would not have a fixed formula, as you justified by mentioning TiAl and TiAl3.\n\nWhen 2 metals are to combine, both of them would donate electrons and since neither of the 2 metals would accept them, the donated electrons form an electron cloud around the atoms. Imagine it as 2 positive charges (nuclei of both metallic atoms) surrounded by a negatively charged cloud. The electron cloud is held in place by the attractive force of the nuclei for the electrons. \nIf 2 non-transition metals combine, the electron cloud formed would contain the fixed number of electrons that each metal would donate. If 2 transition metals combine or a transition metal combines with a non-transition metal, the electron cloud would vary in the number of electrons in it. \n\nConsider the electronic configuration of Ti and Al: \n1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p6, 3d2, 4s2. [titanium]\n1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2, 3p1 [aluminum]\nTitanium would donate 4 electrons from 4s2 and 3d2 to achieve noble gas configuration of argon. As stated at the beginning, the electrons in 3p and 3d orbitals would keep shifting to and fro, so it may happen that at one point, 2 electrons from 3s orbital shift to 3d, and the like. So each time titanium has to bond with aluminum, it may donate 4 or more than 4 electrons.\nIf at one point, 1 titanium atom donates 4 electrons from 4s2 and 3d2 and 4 aluminum atoms donate 1 each from 3p1, then both will have a complete orbital (for Al) and a complete shell (for Ti) left. So with 1 Ti atom and 4 Al atoms, the compound formed will be TiCl4. Other compound like TiAl will be formed according to the number of atoms (of both metals), and the number of electrons they donate.

that's a very challenging question, it is possible to produce strings of iron atoms a few nm across, but at that size they would obviously lose the properties of stainless steel, the resulting question would be, how small can wire be produced and still be considered to be of a certain alloy?  (this discussion refers to high precision lab production, not industrial production)

titanium is quite rare and expensive.\n\nuse wikipedia.org and links in it to get more info\n\nPeople will not think that you're stupid, they'll think that you're lazy :)

Titanium is amongst them. Tungsten and wolfram too. That's all i can think off right now.

Titanium is NOT the strongest metal.  It is often thought of as the strongest but actually it has one of the highest strength to weight ratios.  I.e., for a metal that is so light-weight, it is extremely strong.  Typically it has a ultimate tensile strength of up to 170,000 psi.  Another unique property is that its strength does not deteriorate in high temperature applications. This makes it ideal for use in aerospace especially engine components. \nThere are many metals much stronger than this.  Two stainless steels that come to mind are 17-4PH and 15-5PH which can achieve Ftu of 180,000 to 200,000 psi through heat treatment.\nInconel 625 which is used in the aerospace industry, typically in the production of high-strength fasteners used in critical joints can achieve ultimate shear strengths of 220,000 psi.\nIntermediate alloy steels such as 5Cr-Mo-V has an Ftu of up to 280 ksi.  Also low alloy steel such as AISI 4130 used in aircraft landing gear has extremely high bearing strength, tensile and compression strength.

the current #1 strength by ultimate tensile strength is Carpenter Micro-Melt® 10 Tough Treated Tool Steel (AISI A11) as quoted by www.matweb.com, with a UTS of 5205 MPa.  This material is an alloy of: \nComponent    Wt. %  \n \n \nC 2.4 - 2.5   \nCr 4.75 - 5.75   \nFe 78.21 - 81.35   \nMn 0.35 - 0.6   \nMo 1.1 - 1.5   \nS 0.05 - 0.09   \nSi 0.75 - 1.1   \nV 9.25 - 10.25   \n\nIt is obviously a quite complex alloy.  Most other ultra high strength materials are also iron alloys, check matweb for the specifics

Titanium is extracted from ilmenite (FeTiO3) and rutile (TiO2). Brazil, India, and Canada are major producers. Both these ore minerals are found either in rock formations or concentrated in heavy mineral sands.

it depends on the material, you could have FCC, BCC, HCP and many other crystal structures, with many different substances present dependent on the alloy

Titanium is normally found as Titanium Dioxide TiO2.  It is mined mostly in Australia where the largest deposits are found.

The pure type of metal and the alloy

Because the metal reacts with air at high temperatures it can not be produced by reduction of its dioxide. Titanium metal is therefore produced commercially by the Kroll process; a complex, and expensive batch process developed in 1946 by William Justin Kroll. In the Kroll process, the oxide is first converted to chloride through carbochlorination, whereby chlorine gas is passed over red-hot rutile or ilmenite in the presence of carbon to make TiCl4. This is condensed and purified by fractional distillation and then reduced with 800 °C molten magnesium in an argon atmosphere.\n\nA newer process called the FFC Cambridge Process may displace this older process. This method uses the feedstock titanium dioxide powder (which is a refined form of rutile) to make the end product which is either a powder or sponge. If mixed oxide powders are used, the product is an alloy at a much lower cost than the conventional multi-step melting process. It is hoped that the FFC Cambridge Process will render titanium a less rare and expensive material for the aerospace industry and the luxury goods market, and will be seen in many products currently manufactured using aluminium and specialist grades of steel.\n\nTitanium may be purified to ultra high purity in small quantities by the van Arkel deBoer process by reacting with iodine and decomposing the formed vapors over a hot filament to pure metal.\n\nTitanium oxide is produced commercially by grinding its mineral ore and mixing it with potassium carbonate and aqueous hydrofluoric acid. This yields potassium fluorotitanate (K2TiF6) which is extracted with hot water and decomposed with ammonia, producing an ammoniacal hydrated oxide. This in turn is ignited in a platinum vessel, which creates pure titanium dioxide.\n\nCommon titanium alloys are made by reduction. For example; cuprotitanium (rutile with copper added is reduced), ferrocarbon titanium (ilmenite reduced with coke in an electric furnace), and manganotitanium (rutile with manganese or manganese oxides) are reduced.

There are a lot of Inconel alloys, but I think they are primarily nickel based, not iron.  They are used for high temperature applications such as jet engines.  \n\nWhile they can be welded, you really need to be careful if there are any safety concerns, that the welding doesn't introduce any problems.

Braces are made from alloys that don't rust.  Stainless steel is a primary component.  Titanium and other metals help also.

METALS ARE MALLEABLE AND DUCTILE INDEED THEY ARE VERY STRONG SOME METALS LIKE ALUMINIUM HAS A LOW DENSITY SO IT'S USED IN BUILDING AIRCRAFTS,IOW DENSITY COOKING UTENSILS ETC.. ALLOYS EG:STEEL IS ALSO USED IN UTENSILS ....COINS ARE ALLOYS OF NICKEL AND COPPER.....METALS USUALLY HAVE A HIGH MELTING POINT.......

I think it's these metals chrome, cobalt, titanium, or ceramic materials can be used.  I think they have recalled ceramic because they were cracking though.
