    Different effects of titanium alloying element are:

    - Titanium is an alloying element which prevents formation of austenite in high chromium steels.

    - In medium chromium steels, titanium reduces martensite hardness and hardenability.

    - When stainless steel is heated for a long time, titanium prevents localized depletion of chromium.
