Steel has a range of strengths. The "most commonly used steel" is probably just mild steel and yeah Ti-6Al-4V is going to be the rough equal of mild steel on strength broadly assessed. But a high strength steel alloy will be three times that strong, and titanium can only be pushed so far.
- SV_BubbleTime 3y agoI would use “cold roll” instead of “mild steel”. But otherwise, yea irrc… Grade5 Ti (6AL4V) is approx equal to ultimate tensile of 303 stainless (extremely common) at 50% the weight. BUT… Ti doesn’t even get close to 600 steels (like Inconel) or even common 17-4PH, etc.
