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.

What is the world's strongest metal?

The world's strongest metal is titanium. Commercial grade Titanium (92% pure) is 63,000 psi (434 MPa), which can be compared to a low grade steel alloy but is 45% lighter. It is an alloy to natural elements tungsten, iridium and other metals including aluminum, molybdenum, iron, and manganese. It is also a super alloy of liqiud metal. Certain titanium alloys (e.g., Beta C) achieve tensile strengths of over 200,000 psi (1,400 MPa). Megapascal or MPa is a unit to measure tensile strength.

What are the metals use to fabric a mobile phone?

Metal Body The metal Body is made mainly of aluminum alloy, which is mixed with a small amount of magnesium or other metal materials to enhance its strength. Magnesium-aluminum alloy and titanium-aluminum alloy are now commonly used as the body of mobile phones. Currently, aluminum is the most versatile and cost-effective smartphone body material, and it is more recyclable than titanium and magnesium.
