Is Your Home Full Of Titanium?

Strength and low weight are properties becoming more in demand in our country. Titanium has become the obvious choice for these applications. Racing industries like boats, auto, and motorcycles are rife with titanium parts. Many of the higher end cars like BMW and Mercedes have embraced titanium as a dependable and performance enhancing metal.
Another example of the effectiveness of titanium was the first massive use in the SR-71 blackbird aircraft. Since that time the military and commercial aircraft have an abundance of this metal throughout their aircraft.
Titanium is increasingly used in sporting goods equipment such as golf clubs, tennis rackets and bike frames. My favorite driver is made from titanium and it performs the best of any drivers I have used.
If you have allergy problems then you will appreciate jewelry and glasses that use titanium instead of traditional metals in their construction. Because titanium is hypo-allergenic it will be a problem free item to wear close to your skin.
Do horses prefer titanium? I would say that the answer is yes. When they are fitted with shoes that are made from titanium they are definitely going to feel much lighter and will last much longer. That is why farriers choose them over steel these days.
