@wamyx8Nz true points... good observation...

@240SSONLY It depends on what form of titanium you have. Titanium can exist as two allotropes, an alpha(hexagonal) or beta(body centered cubic) phase depending on temperature, pressure, and alloying. The alpha form is softer and generally exists at normal conditions, but the beta form can be stabilized in alloys. I have a knife blade made of beta alloy and it is as hard as ordinary steel while weighing much less.

@kirillpen Titanium is actually almost twice as dense as aluminum (2.70g/cm^3 for Al vs 4.50g/cm^3 for Ti), but it has a higher strength to weight ratio so you need less of it.

@TheBongJew titanium is lighter than aluminum fool
-
@TheBongJew mmmhhh no it doesn't. My Lynskey R340 bike is only around 190 grams heavier than my BMC RM01. The issue with the frame, they're just crazily expensive for the similiar performance with carbon frame
-
yeah you can have a titanium bike but it would probably weigh 100,000,000 times more

@Shamirizee With a huge Diesel Ford Truck! hahahaha...just kidding.

I love his satisfied geek-laugh at the end. Like a creative kid with a very cool new toy.

@240SSONLY titanium is soft and strong, and super expensive, that is why cars and planes are made by other materials and not by titanium.
Do not depend only if is heavy or not, also thepend the molecular structure. for example carbon fiver is made by carbon, like the pencil carbon, if you put totheder carbon with epoxi, will be very strong, but depend of the direction of the strenth, is not that strong in all the positions.
I'll keep this test in mind the next time I get run over by an SUV.

Outta curiosity, whats the right way to test tube strength?
