Best Answer

Like all heavier elements, titanium was formed in a star and was included in the Earth when it formed from interstellar dust. In case you mean how is it manufactured, it is usually found on Earth as its oxide, in the ore rutile. It is extracted by conversion to titanium chloride which is then purified. Sodium or magnesium is used to displace the titanium metal.
