i am doing homework and this is what i put:
steel is extacted using a blast furnace which is quick and relatively cheap. however to extract titanium, magnesium is needed because it is more reactive. magnesium is extracted by electrolysis, which is expensive therefore it is not cheap to buy. you have to buy the magnesium to extract the titanium, which is why titanium is expensive
hope this helped and you can copy it word for word i dont care :)
What else can I help you with?
Why is steel cheaper than?
Titanium is more rare than iron; also is more difficult to prepare titanium from ores.
Is titanium used on tanks armor?
No. Titanium costs approximately 10 times more than steel and titanium is only lighter that steel. You actually will need more titanium than steel for armor (strength to size issue). Tanks don't have problem with heavy armor so weight is not an issue for them.
What is stronger steel or titanium?
Steel is very strong but titanium is stronger titanium is also the strongest metal in the world
Is stainless steel expensive?
It's more expensive than ordinary steel, but it's cheaper than titanium.
What is stronger carbon steel or titanium nitride?
Titanium nitride is typically harder and more wear-resistant than carbon steel. Carbon steel is known for its strength and durability, but titanium nitride has a higher hardness rating and better resistance to corrosion and abrasion.
Is steal heavier than titanium?
yes, titanium is 43% lighter than steel
What metal is better to use in sporting equipment and medical implants titanium or steel?
Titanium is generally preferred for sporting equipment and medical implants due to its superior strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Steel is heavier and more prone to rusting, making it less ideal for these applications.
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
What metal is harder than steel?
Titanium
Is titanium a steel or alloy?
Titanium is a metalic element on it's own. It has nothing to do with steel, which is based on the element iron. Like most metals, there are many alloys based on titanium that are more suitable for most purposes than pure titanium.
What is the advantage of titanuim watches over stainless steel watches?
Titanium watches are lighter, more durable, and more resistant to scratches compared to stainless steel watches. Additionally, titanium is hypoallergenic, making it a better choice for those with sensitive skin.
Is pure titanium stronger than pure steel?
no it is not they are the same
