Ti At high temperatures the metal will burn in air and, unusually, it will also burn in pure nitrogen. It is ductile and it is malleable when heated. It is insoluble in water, but soluble in concentrated acids. It is as strong as steel. It is harder than any of its metal ingredients. It is extremely strong and resistant to atmospheric corrosion. It has been used since prehistoric times to forge tools, weapons, statues and ornaments. Copper and tin Copper and zinc They are valued for their ease with which it can be formed into desired shapes and forms while retaining high strength. They are considered malleable and ductile.
