A point raised by James Cameron (and others) was the titanium bands mated to the carbon fiber hull. Apparently in the material science community, that's a huge no-no, and a well known one to boot. Galvanic corrosion or something like that...
- zarzavat 3y agoIt’s a dumb idea for numerous reasons. The titanium and carbon fibre will expand and contract in relation to temperature and pressure at different rates, they are two different materials with totally different material properties. So you’ve added a second force on the vehicle which is the pulling and pushing of the carbon fiber and titanium from one another. And all you have to hold that together is fancy glue, the glue is taking all that force. A 5 year old could do better.
