Is it true that TITANIUM is stronger than STEEL? How stronger is it and what is the difference in Rate?

Answer 1

TITANIUM is stronger than STEEL.
For steel:(I am taking high tensile steel)-
Material Yield strength(MPa) -1650
Ultimate strength-(MPa) -1860
density(g/cm3)- 7.8
For Titanium:(Titanium is as strong as steel, but 45% lighter)
Tensile Strength : 460-615 N/mm2
So, stregth to weight ratio is higher for titaneum.
Titanium is as strong as steel but much less dense. It is therefore important as an alloying agent with many metals
including aluminium, molybdenum and iron. These alloys are principally used in aircraft and missiles as they are
materials which have low density yet can withstand extremes of temperature. Titanium also has potential use in
desalination plants which convert sea water to fresh water. The metal has excellent resistance to sea water, and so
is used to protect the hulls of ships, and other structures exposed to sea water.
However, the largest use of titanium is in the form of titanium(IV) oxide, which is extensively used in both house
paint and artists’ paint. This paint is also a good reflector of infrared radiation and so is used in solar observatories
where heat causes poor visibility.
please read below:;;;
The tensile strength of a material is the maximum amount of tensile stress that it can be subjected to before failure. The definition of failure can vary according to material type and design methodology. This is an important concept in engineering, especially in the fields of material science, mechanical engineering and structural engineering.

There are three typical definitions of tensile strength:

Yield strength - The stress a material can withstand without permanent deformation. This is not a sharply defined point. Yield strength is the stress which will cause a permanent deformation of 0.2% of the original dimension.
Ultimate strength - The maximum stress a material can withstand.
Breaking strength - The stress coordinate on the stress-strain curve at the point of rupture.

Answer 2

From the way that you are asking the question, I suspect you need to understand some background definitions and concepts on how engineers measure and define material strength. Typically, the strength of an engineering material is measured in its yield strength (or yield stress) and the ultimate tensile strength (or ultimate tensile stress). The first is a measure of how much load/stress a material can bear before it deforms to a certain degree. The second is a measure of how much load/stress a material can bear before it ruptures or actually breaks. A titanium alloy is stronger than a typical structural steel alloy. However, steel can be alloyed and heat treated in a multitude of ways. It can be made into a very high stength alloy. If strength is all you want, then you can get steel to perform better than titanium. Once you take corrosion resistance and weight into consideration, however, titanium and sometimes aluminum alloys comes into favor.

You can check out wiki if you want to read a little on what the basic concepts in measuring material strength.

BTW, measuring material strength in rate makes no sense.

Answer 3

yes, I thinked titanium is stronger than steel. (like spider silk is 5 times stronger than steel), So Titanium is extremely resilient to Corrosive, Intensive flames, oxidation and impact.

Answer 4

it true that TITANIUM is stronger than STEEL, rates sorry i cant tell, better if take from news papers.

Answer 5

you need to refine you defintion of stronger...stronger can mean a lot of things
