FeTiO3 (ilmenite) is an iron titanium oxide ceramic compound that occurs naturally as a primary ore of titanium. It is used industrially as a feedstock for titanium metal extraction, pigment production, and as a constituent in advanced ceramics and refractory materials. Engineers select ilmenite for applications requiring high-temperature stability, chemical inertness, and when titanium sourcing is economically critical; it is also valued in optics and coatings where its optical properties and thermal durability are advantageous.
