Primary production - details

Reducing the High Cost Of Titanium has a clear description of the surface embrittlement "alpha case" and cracking, and how it is normally ground off and etched away by "pickling". Could add to Production and fabrication ? - Rod57 (talk) 22:04, 20 December 2019 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request the addition of the following paragraph between paragraph two and three of the Medical Applications section.

“Modern advancements in additive manufacturing techniques have increased potential for titanium use in orthopedic implant applications.1 Complex implant scaffold designs can be 3D-printed using titanium alloys, which allows for more patient-specific applications and increased implant osseointegration.2”

FA concerns

After reviewing the article, I am concerned that this article does not meet the featured article criteria anymore. I have outlined some of my concerns below:

There are multiple small paragraphs that can be merged together.
There are multiple statements that need citations, which I have marked with citation needed templates.
Some references use the bibliography, others state the whole source in the reference. This should be standardized.
There is some MOS:SANDWICH concerns, especially with the infobox.

Is anyone interested in fixing this up? Z1720 (talk) 20:14, 27 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Double sharp, thanks for citing some statements I tagged with citation needed. Are you interested in bringing this article back to FA standards? Z1720 (talk) 00:20, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Z1720: In principle yes, but I'm currently a bit busy IRL. In a month, it should be possible (I hope). Double sharp (talk) 03:06, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Double sharp: I'll remove this from my list of articles to nominate. Let me know when you have finished your changes and I will conduct a re-review. Z1720 (talk) 03:08, 23 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Dammit, should've written this down. OK, let me bring out my sources... (not the best for this element, but should have something). Double sharp (talk) 09:47, 28 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Z1720, maybe this should be sent to FAR right now. 58.239.178.90 (talk) 11:14, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I am at my limit on how many articles I can have at FAR, so it will take some weeks before I can nominate this. If you would like to create an account, you can nominate this article to FAR yourself. I am happy to help with the review process. Z1720 (talk) 14:07, 1 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The alkoxides of titanium(IV), prepared by reacting TiCl4 with alcohols, are colourless compounds that convert to the dioxide on reaction with water. They are industrially useful for depositing solid TiO2 via the sol-gel process. Titanium isopropoxide is used in the synthesis of chiral organic compounds via the Sharpless epoxidation.[citation needed]

Why?--Smokefoot (talk) 13:13, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Already done Gonna go ahead and close out this request as it appears Smokefoot has kindly provided a source for the section referred to by the requester. —Sirdog (talk) 22:03, 16 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
