Isotopes of titanium (₂₂Ti)
Standard atomic weight Ar°(Ti)
	47.867±0.001; 47.867±0.001 (abridged)[2][3];

Naturally occurring titanium (₂₂Ti) is composed of five stable isotopes; ⁴⁶Ti, ⁴⁷Ti, ⁴⁸Ti, ⁴⁹Ti and ⁵⁰Ti with ⁴⁸Ti being the most abundant (73.8% natural abundance). Twenty-one radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable being ⁴⁴Ti with a half-life of 60 years, ⁴⁵Ti with a half-life of 184.8 minutes, ⁵¹Ti with a half-life of 5.76 minutes, and ⁵²Ti with a half-life of 1.7 minutes. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 33 seconds, and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than half a second.[4]

The isotopes of titanium range in atomic mass from 38.01 u (³⁸Ti) to 62.99 u (⁶³Ti). The primary decay mode for isotopes lighter than the stable isotopes (lighter than ⁴⁶Ti) is β⁺ and the primary mode for the heavier ones (heavier than ⁵⁰Ti) is β⁻; their respective decay products are scandium isotopes and the primary products after are vanadium isotopes.[4]

Titanium-44

Titanium-44 (⁴⁴Ti) is a radioactive isotope of titanium that undergoes electron capture to an excited state of scandium-44 with a half-life of 60 years, before the ground state of ⁴⁴Sc and ultimately ⁴⁴Ca are populated.[6] Because titanium-44 can only undergo electron capture, its half-life increases with ionization and it becomes stable in its fully ionized state (that is, having a charge of +22).[7]

Titanium-44 is produced in relative abundance in the alpha process in stellar nucleosynthesis and the early stages of supernova explosions.[8] It is produced when calcium-40 fuses with an alpha particle (helium-4 nucleus) in a star's high-temperature environment; the resulting ⁴⁴Ti nucleus can then fuse with another alpha particle to form chromium-48. The age of supernovae may be determined through measurements of gamma-ray emissions from titanium-44 and its abundance.[7] It was observed in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant and SN 1987A at a relatively high concentration, a consequence of delayed decay resulting from ionizing conditions.[6][7]
