Can the titanium used in surgery be resold or reused?

If it's titanium placed on the outside of the body (external fixators), it can certainly be reused. Titanium implants (on the inside) cannot be reused legally at least in America. They probably have to be recycled first.

What was titanium used for in the year of 1791?

In 1791 Titanium was not yet used for anything by man. In that year amateur geologist and pastor William Gregor first discovered the substance in a sample of black sand by a stream near Cromwell, England. German chemist Martin Heinrich Klaproth rediscovered the substance independently in 1795 and was the first to name it, calling it titanium after the Greek mythological god Titan. Titanium first saw use in the mid 1800's when refined into titanium dioxide (TiO2). This intensely white permanent pigment was first used in paints. Today titanium dioxide is used as a pigment in paper, toothpaste, and plastics and as a strengthening agent in graphite composite products including fishing rods and golf clubs. Pure metallic titanium was first prepared in 1910 by Matthew A. Hunter at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Titanium metal was not used outside the laboratory until 1932 when William Justin Kroll developed a process to produce it by reducing titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) with calcium. Kroll developed refinements to this technique over the following decade. The Kroll process continues to be the primary method used to produce metallic titanium today. Nearly 95% of all titanium mined today continues to be used as titanium dioxide. Titanium is also used in steel as an alloying element to reduce grain size and as a deoxidizer, and in stainless steel to reduce carbon content. Titanium is also alloyed with aluminium, vanadium, copper (to harden), iron, manganese, and molybdenum. Metallic titanium has found use in many aerospace, marine and military applications. Because of their high tensile strength to density ratio, high corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, high crack resistance, as well as their ability to withstand moderately high temperatures without creeping, titanium alloys are used in armor plating and as hull and structural fabrication material in aircraft, naval vessels, spacecraft, and missiles. The SR-71 Blackbird was one of the first aircraft to make extensive structural use of titanium. Since then, titanium has become widely used in commercial aircraft. A Boeing 777 is estimated to contain 59 metric tons (139,000 pounds) of titanium. The Airbus A340 contains about 32 metric tons.

Where can titanium be used?

Titanium can be used in replacement joints. Titanium is a high strength material with a low weight. Price is a factor that eliminates its widespread use. It is used in the space industry and is even used for lightweight camping equipment.
