Both Ilmenite and this are linked to from titanium ore as the two most common forms of Titanium ore. Should the opening line of both mention that this is a titanium ore? Scottkeir 04:26, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rutile

This article ends in mid sentence.

Image dropped

This image was removed in my dit because the article had too many images and it was hard to make it look readable with it in. I've put it here so that it can be put back in, perhaps when the article is fleshed out more. The table may need fixing too.

Titania

Titania is not an "old-fashioned" chemical name; among Materials engineers, it is the term used almost exclusively when referring to TiO2, unless there is need to specificy which phases is meant.

Questionable Point

The statement "(Rutile) is primarily extracted for use in refractory manufacture or use as a base for paints. Rarely is it extracted as an ore of titanium" is questionable. TIMET - a global leader in Titanium based metal production for aerospace and other industries (as well as Russian and other manufacturers) chlorinate rutile ores as a first step in producing titanium tetrachloride, the intermediary in the production of titanium sponge - the raw material for titanium metal products.

Rutile also i used i welding-electrodes. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.50.124.146 (talk) 10:48, 11 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, its a very questionable point. Rutile is mined for the purpose of .... selling rutile. What the processor does with it, is up to them. It is not mined for some specific purpose. So I have reworded the sentence.Eregli bob (talk) 03:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]
