I thought the public view of titanium was similar to adamantium or unobtanium. It's not an option because it's too expensive to use in a "normal" car. It's something that gets used in 100k+ supercars and formula 1 cars.
- jjoonathan 7y agoI suspect anyone into cars, bikes, or aircraft is aware of titanium's status as a paragon material, but the general public is less informed than that. I regularly see people miss the implication of an Al -> Ti or Ti -> Al material substitution and I semi-regularly see Al and Ti confused outright. It seems almost sacrilegious to someone in-the-know, but most people just don't seem to know or care. As far as they are concerned, aluminum is titanium is aluminum is titanium. Shrug.
