9th most abundant metal on the surface.
Not freely found, but found in minerals such as rutile (titanium oxide) and ilmenite (iron titanium oxide)

Purified through...
"Commercially, the metal is isolated using the Kroll process which initially prepares titanium oxide from the mineral ilmenite. The oxide TiO2 is then converted to the chloride ( TiCl4) through carbochlorination. This is condensed and purified by fractional distillation and then reduced with molten magnesium in an argon atmosphere."
