Carbon fiber is lighter than titanium - or less dense, if you prefer to use something a bit more specific. Carbon fiber, even with resin applied to hold it in a given shape (and put on a thin plastic backing, which is often done), doesn't weigh as much as the same volume of titanium.

∙ 13y agoThere is many other materials which are lighter than carbon fiber, but the reason why carbon fiber is so popular is that it is a very strong material, which is so light. Normal plastic is lighter, but very weak.

∙ 13y agoCarbon fiber has better tensile strength, but is more easily scratched or deformed (it is not as hard as titanium). The relative overall "strength" would dpend on how the material was being used.

What is stronger carbon steel or titanium nitride?
Titanium
Is steel stronger than titanium?
By:Venom751998: By strength-to-weight ratio NO. Steel and titanium both have about the same overall strength, but titanium is about 45% lighter than steel. However, it might be more expensive. If you can, check out carbon fiber. It is known to be 5x stronger than steel and 2x as stiff. By: venom751998
Is there an element stronger than titanium?
metal is so stronger In tool making they use an alloy called Chrome Vanadium.
Why is titanium not extracted by heating rutile with carbon?
Titanium is more reactive than Titanium.
Why cant titanium be extracted from its ore by carbon?
carbon cannot be used to extract titanium because titanium is more reactive than carbon so therefore, a displacement reaction cannot happen hope this helps :)

Is fiberglass stronger than carbon fiber?
If it's laid properly, it can be. Then again...you get a guy who uses the best resins, and the best fiberglass, and he can give you a stronger composite using fiberglass than an inexperienced person using carbon fiber.
