It's rust. Until the other 52-54% is known about, of course.

You will have to have a complete analysis.

Smelt some and see what you get.

Until the remaining 52-54% is known, the forum cannot answer with any certainty. Do have a go, though, and report back with the outcome.

Having unknown materials on site could be considered as running contrary to the CoSHH Regulations. How would anyone know, for example, that the 52-54% wasn't Polonium 210 or Plutonium 238?

Wow! Smelting that would be spectacular!

The remaining 52% to 54% is undoubtably unobtainium

The other day we had a design where the BOM contained 27% unobtainium. Since this material is 52% to 54% unobtainium can I get some of it, thin it down and use it?

The souce of this material would have a strong bearing on the content- if it is sourced from a ground site it could be any of many earth type minerals, Silica, aluminum, calcites- is it magnetic-if so it could be a titaniferous magnetite and these also carry many odd elements incorporated or chemically bonded. An assay lab is the best answer- how did you determine the Fe and Ti content without identiyfing any others

...then contact the company, ask what the rest of it is, and ask for a Material Safety Data Sheet for it! Why involve CR4 readers in guessing games?

No matter how many times you ask, the answer will not come from this forum.

Have it analyzed.

To give you a definative response I would need to know where it came from - not necessary to disclose exact for security reasons but if it is an ore, the siting as to value and content is important- very possible to use as ore for both titanium and Iron dependent on extractive capabilities- I have some knowledge of these ores and some carry precious metals as well
