Question: Will titanium react with water?
---------------------------------------------
Under "ordinary" conditions, i.e. room temperature and 
atmospheric pressure titanium does not react readily with 
liquid water. That may not be the case under "extreme 
conditions" of high temperature and pressure and very 
fine metal particle size. So the "simple" answer is no, 
but that is not an unqualified "no".
