Good old Zirconium.

Is a chemical element with the symbol Zr and atomic number 40.

The name of zirconium is taken from the mineral zircon.

Its atomic mass is 91.224. It is a lustrous, gray-white, strong transition metal that resembles titanium.

Zirconium is mainly used as a refractory and opacifier, although minor amounts are used as alloying agent for its strong resistance to corrosion.

Zirconium is obtained mainly from the mineral zircon, which is the most important form of zirconium in use.

Titanium

Titanium (pronounced /ti’tane’ium/) is a chemical element with the symbol Ti and atomic number 22. It is a light, strong, lustrous, corrosion-resistant (including to sea water and chlorine) transition metal with a silver colour.

Titanium can be alloyed with iron, aluminium, vanadium, molybdenum, among other elements, to produce strong lightweight alloys for aerospace (jet engines, missiles, and spacecraft), military, industrial process (chemicals and petro-chemicals, desalination plants, pulp, and paper), automotive, agri-food, medical prostheses, orthopedic implants, dental and endodontic instruments and files, dental implants, sporting goods, jewelry, mobile phones, and other applications.
