which metal is lighter titanium or aluminium

RE: which is lighter
 

im not sure what is lighter but i think titanium is stronger.

Aluminum:

Density in g/cc

Aluminum-----2.643
Aluminum bronze-----7.702
Aluminum, 2024-T3-----2.77
Aluminum, 6061-T6-----2.7
Aluminum, 7079-T6-----2.74

Titanium-----4.5

RE: which is lighter
 

Titanium's strength vs. aluminum isn't even comparable.

RE: which is lighter
 

aluminium is strong enough for rc cars.

carbon fiber!

RE: which is lighter
 

Carbon fiber look's stupid on rc car's, I'm sorry to say!

RE: which is lighter
 

[X(] carbon fibre looks cool! Especially the blue stuff

Ryan.

RE: which is lighter
 

carbon fiber isn't that much lighter but it is a whole lot more brittle

RE: which is lighter
 

carbon fiber chassis and a arms for savage do look cool! you can't argue with that they're so..... something!
strength:
aluminum<titanium<carbon fiber
lightness:
aluminum<titanium<carbon fiber

don't flame me if I'm wrong on any of these...
also even if aluminum is lighter than titanium you need more material to achieve comparable strenght
in other words aluminum stuff will have to be thicker than titanium stuff to boost strength

RE: which is lighter
 

well im not going to have carbon fiber universals but i think i might get aluminium ones
