Drilling them is actually not that difficult, titanium isn't a hard metal, but since it conducts heat poorly, it overheats your drill bit almost instantly if you drill deeper than a few mm. I think plasma is the best way to cut it.

    Pure titanium is not strong. It is a hard metal but very brittle. Hard does not equate to strong. To make titanium useful for extreme application it has to be alloyed with aluminum. Titanium aluminide is the material used for extreme applications. So we should give some credit to Aluminum as well.

    If Elon Musk said that about titanium, then he's wrong. It's far more likely that an ancient civilization, if one existed and became sufficiently advanced technologically speaking, that they would want to use more biodegradable materials. For instance, one could produce a biodegradable plastic with which to infuse carbon fibers and make a "good enough" material for all manner of applications. It would be really light and plenty strong for most purposes. And corrosion resistant doesn't mean it won't corrode, it'll just take longer. If an ancient civilization existed more than 10,000 years ago, any titanium they used would have oxidated long ago just as iron and any iron based alloys would have. If an alien civilization existed, they might have shield technology to augment weaker materials being used for ships to allow for easier construction.

    Pure Titanium is actually very brittle. When people think of titanium as the strongest metal that’s because titanium alloys such as titanium carbide are much less brittle making the metal very strong. It is also why getting this metal alloy is so expensive.

      No bro people called titanium as a strongest metal because he is water resistant titanium live longer for thousands of years without even getting decompose, while steel if you put steel in water steel was easily decompose on pass hundred years even the strongest steel in the world bro the weakness are water. While titanium is water resistant and much stronger resist than to stainless but much pricier than stainless.

      You do not use titanium for fuselages, because aluminium is still lighter by volume than titanium (and carbon fiber is even lighter and stronger). In the aircraft industry you mostly use titanium for tubing and shafts - parts that need to be lightweight but strong and would be too heavy if made out of steel.

    I don't know abou titanium, but everybody in my country is crazy about aluminium, it costs 10 to 20 dollars per kilo in finished materials, and 2 dollars in scrap. I bet it is more difficult to extract aluminium from alumina than titanium from titanium oxide

    i am mechanical engineer and i never heard anybody saying that titanium is the strongest metal. some people talk about tensile strength to weight ratio... thats the specific tensile strength... titanium is not the strongest nor has it an extraordinary specific tensile strength nor specific youngs modulus compared to steel. however it is remarkable in bio compatability and in hot enviroments under load because it has a relative high melt temperature and you can make it "mono grain" (?) i do not know how you call it in english. this solves the biggest problem under these conditions... creep

I didn't like the rust prone cast steel wheels from the doner Trolley Jack the hydraulic piston system was taken from, so asked him to make something more rustproof.
