Isotopes of titanium
Template:Short description Template:Infobox titanium isotopes 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-three radioisotopes have been characterized, with the most stable being 44Ti with a half-life of 59.1 years and 45Ti with a half-life of 184.8 minutes. All of the remaining radioactive isotopes have half-lives that are less than 10 minutes, and the majority of these have half-lives that are less than one second.
The isotopes of titanium range from 39Ti to 66Ti. The primary decay mode for isotopes lighter than the stable isotopes is β+ and the primary mode for the heavier ones is β−; the decay products are respectively scandium isotopes and vanadium isotopes.
There are two stable isotopes of titanium with an odd number of nucleons, 47Ti and 49Ti, which thus have non-zero nuclear spin of 5/2− and 7/2− (respectively) and are NMR-active.[1]

Titanium-44
Titanium-44 (44Ti) is a radioactive isotope of titanium that undergoes electron capture with a half-life of 59.1 years to an excited state of scandium-44, before reaching the ground state of 44Sc and ultimately of 44Ca.[3] Because titanium-44 can decay only through electron capture, its half-life increases slowly with its ionization state and it becomes stable in its fully ionized state (that is, having a charge of +22),[4] though as astrophysical environments never lack electrons completely, it will always decay.
Titanium-44 is produced in relative abundance in the alpha process in stellar nucleosynthesis and the early stages of supernova explosions.[5] It is produced when stable calcium-40 adds an alpha particle (helium-4), as nickel-56 is the result of adding three more. The age of supernova remnants (even though nickel-56 has died away to iron) may be determined through measurements of gamma-ray emissions from the relatively long-lived titanium-44 and of its abundance.[4] It was observed in the Cassiopeia A supernova remnant and SN 1987A at a relatively high concentration, enhanced by the delayed decay in the ionizing conditions.[3]
