Was the Titanic made out of titanium?

Answer 1

nope. it was made out of iron and steel. i'm watchin it right now!

Answer 2

No, the name Titanic just referred to it's large size.

Titanium got it's name from the Titans of Greek Mythology.

Titanium is as strong as steel, but 45% lighter so it would be a good replacement for steel if itwasn't so expensive.

Titanium was not used outside a laboratory until 1946.

In the 1950's and 1960's the Soviet Union first pioneered the use of Titanium in submarines.

In 2006, the U.S. Defense Agency awarded $5.7 million to a two-company consortium to develop a new process for making titanium metal powder. Under heat and pressure, the powder can be used to create strong, lightweight items ranging from armor plating to components for the aerospace, transportation and chemical processing industries.

If we can ever bring the price of roduction down to that of normal steel we could save lots of energy by making cars and airplanes from Titanium. The fuel savings would be tremendous.

Answer 3

No. She cost 7.5 Million $ in 1912. If it had even been possible to have that much titanium and the skills to work it, the cost would have been astronomical.

Some facts about her construction:
The Titanic was a White Star Line ocean liner built at the Harland and Wolff shipyard in Belfast and was designed to compete with rival company Cunard Line's Lusitania and Mauretania, luxurious ships and the fastest liners on the Atlantic. The Titanic and her Olympic class sisters, Olympic and the upcoming Gigantic,[2][3] were intended to be the largest, most luxurious ships ever to operate. (The planned name Gigantic was changed to Britannic after the disaster.) The Titanic was designed by Harland and Wolff chairman Lord Pirrie, head of Harland and Wolff's design department Thomas Andrews and general manager Alexander Carlisle, with the plans regularly sent to the White Star Line's managing director J. Bruce Ismay for suggestions and approval. Construction of the Titanic, funded by the American J.P. Morgan and his International Mercantile Marine Co., began on March 31, 1909. The Titanic No. 401 was launched two years and two months later on May 31, 1911. The Titanic's outfitting was completed on March 31 the following year.

The Titanic was 882 feet 9 inches (269 m) long and 92 feet 6 inches (28 m) at her beam (6 inches longer than twin ship RMS Olympic). She had a Gross Register Tonnage of 46,328 tons, and a height from the water line to the boat deck of 60 feet (18 m). She contained two reciprocating four-cylinder, triple-expansion, inverted steam engines and one low-pressure Parsons turbine. These powered three propellers. There were 25 double-ended and 4 single-ended Scotch-type boilers fired by 159 coal burning furnaces that made possible a top speed of 23 knots (43 km/h). Only three of the four 63 foot (19 m) tall funnels were functional; the fourth, which served only as a vent, was added to make the ship look more impressive. Titanic could carry a total of 3,547 passengers and crew and, because she carried mail, her name was given the prefix RMS (Royal Mail Steamer) as well as SS (Steam Ship).

The Titanic was considered a pinnacle of naval architecture and technological achievement, and was thought by The Shipbuilder magazine to be "practically unsinkable." Titanic had a double-bottom hull, containing 44 tanks for boiler water and ballast to keep the ship safely balanced at sea [4] (later ships also had a double-walled hull). Titanic exceeded the lifeboat standard, with 20 lifeboats (though not enough for all passengers), and designers had discussed adding more lifeboats, depending on storage issues. Titanic was divided into 16 compartments by doors held up, i.e. in the open position, by electro-magnetic latches and which could be allowed to fall closed by means of a switch on the bridge. However, the watertight bulkheads did not reach the entire height of the decks, only going up as far as E-Deck. The Titanic could stay afloat with any two of her compartments flooded, or with eleven of fourteen possible combinations of three compartments flooded, or with the first/last four compartments flooded: any more and the ship would sink.

Answer 5

Titanic was built using Siemens-Martin formula steel plating throughout the shell and upper works.

Answer 6

I believe it was...but I'm not completely sure. It may have been built with titanium and other materials, but I think that's where the name comes from...titanic/titanium.

Answer 7

Definitely NOT made of *Jello* like that clown Bittersweet said.

If only it had been... Everyone knows Jello floats. It never would have sank. Think of the lives that would have been saved...

Answer 8

i dono but Titanic comes from Roman Gods b4 the Olympions and means big and powerful.

Answer 9

No, I believe I heard it was made out of paper and elmers glue.

Answer 10

The way it sank it might of been tinfoil
