Why aren't cars made of titanium?
I was just wondering, because titanium doesn't rust, so you wouldn't ever need to paint it. It's very durable, lighter than steel, so it wouldn't put as much wear on brakes, or your tires, and it would also save us loads in gas.

Because in pure form it's 8 times as expensive as stainless steel or aluminium and in alloy form which it would need to be in for car manufacturing it costs 16 times as much.

I suspect a more durable auto would also thwart the 'planned obsolescence' element that's been ingrained into overall manufacturing since the 1970s. Things aren't built to last like they used to be.

Same reasons planes are nott but the black boxes are, too damn expensive and not enough of it on the earth for all cars cause its a complex process I presume. Hence why we should drill the moon for it

Titanium is very difficult to work with. You have to have special equipment to cut or weld Titanium.

They make a slight profit off remaking cars that have been totaled. A huge profit actually.quote: (post ) Originally posted by Shakyamunison Titanium is very difficult to work with. You have to have special equipment to cut or weld Titanium.
