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 :)

∙ 8y agoTitanium is more precious than iron meaning there is less of it. Titanium is stronger, more durable material so it will last longer. iron is a common ore. Due to there being much more of it and relatively easy to mine. This means it costs less to produce and it is readily available.

∙ 12y agoBecause it is stronger and a better product

What is stronger Titanium or black oxide?
Osmium is far more expensive than Titanium. Osmium is $13 per gram. Osmium is far more harder and yet brittle while extreme stress and harder to work with, therefore more expensive . You will find osmium in ball point pens and Titanium on a Nasa Space shuttle.
Why is titanium alloy considered the miracle metal?
It gives more strength for the same weight as either steel or aluminum, or the same strength with less metal. The problem is, it is REALLY expensive. If you were to build a flatbed trailer from titanium and I were to build one from aluminum, and my trailer came out weighing 6000 pounds, you could build a trailer equally as good with 3000 pounds of metal. Your customers would like this because they could send 3000 pounds more freight on your trailer. The problem is, titanium is far more than twice as expensive as aluminum, and it would take you a very long time to get your money back.

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 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 titanium more expensive than platinum?

Is steal heavier than titanium?
yes, titanium is 43% lighter than steel
Can you make a boat out of titanium?
Yes, in fact for years Russian submarines were made of titanium. It is stronger than steel and non-magnetic. A boat made of titanium would be very strong and light also prohibitively expensive. Aluminium is much more common in marine construction.
