An alloy combining iron with titanium, used to add titanium's strength and lightweight properties to steel.
From 'ferro-' (iron) + 'titanium' (named after the Titans in Greek mythology). Titanium was discovered in 1791 and ferrotitanium alloys became important in aerospace metallurgy during the 20th century.
Ferrotitanium allows engineers to use titanium's amazing strength-to-weight ratio in steel without the extreme expense of pure titanium—it's a clever metallurgical compromise found in aerospace and high-performance applications.
