Aircraft Materials

Aluminium is the primary material used on planes

It is light, functional, and cost friendly

It reduces emissions and saves on fuel

The cost of Titanium holds it back from being used more for aircraft materials

Titanium is used when the following characters are needed:

Power, strength, speed, heat

Steel is stronger but its weight holds it back from several aerospace needs

Flying Metal (Parts of a plane)

Building Materials

Steel works best for multilevel construction applications

Low price

High strength

Heavy framing

Aluminium is excellent for architectural work and structural weight

Simple framing

Stairs

Design work

Titanium is used where strength and corrosion resistance properties are required

HVAC and Piping

Large roofs

Power generators

Structural Design
