Linda wants to know:

Can electricity pass through titanium?

What do you think?

Yes, pure Titanium metal is a conductor, similar to steel or lead.

So it's not a really good conductor (like silver, copper or aluminium), but it is still classified as a conductor.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivity#Resistivity_and_conductivity_of_various_materials

Note that most compounds of Titanium (like Titanium Oxide) are insulators. When exposed to air, Titanium forms a protective layer of Titanium Oxide, which protects it from corrosion. This means that if Titanium has been exposed to the air, it might look like an insulator unless you scrape through the oxide layer.

Aluminium is similar - it is a good conductor, and has been used for electrical power wiring in some places; but if oxygen gets into a joint, it can form a high resistence, potentially starting a fire.

Why do you need to know?

As a metal, it is an inherant characteristic of it

Read this it explains alot.

Titanium is used as a material for making electrodes because of its relatively low cost, decent conductivity, and high corrosion resistance.
