Hexagonal close-packed crystal structure of titanium.	Hexagonal close-packed structure of Ti, compared with face-centred cubic, body-centred cubic and body-centred tetragonal structures of iron. These images use the correct relative sizes of the Ti and Fe atoms. This size difference and the 14.27% lower atomic weight of Ti contributes to its lower density.
