Difficulty of refining titanium come as a definite second compared to the cost factor.

In the Next couple of years the def Industry is going to see a sharp decline in prices in Titanium, In Cambridge a Researcher found a way of removing Titanium form its ore (without going through the Excessive Expensive processes), This element occurs in numerous minerals with the main sources being rutile and ilmenite, which are widely distributed over the Earth. There are two allotropic forms and five naturally occurring isotopes of this element; Ti-46 through Ti-50 with Ti-48 being the most abundant (73.8%). One of titanium's most notable characteristics is that it is as strong as steel but is only 60% its weight. Titanium's properties are chemically and physically similar to zirconium. Traditionally the Majority of the cost of procureing titanium has been the the Refineing part, Since now we have a Joint Patent on the technique with the US we should see more Titanium in construction. Another Alternative would be the Toyota Super Alloy (that literally Defies the Laws of Physics, Elasticity)

ok about extracting the titanium from the ore,but the real problem actually being faced is to machine the titanium alloy ,it is also very difficult to weld ,requiring a lot of investment to be made in welding technologies specifficaly developed for this purpose.

the problem is only japan and russia can machine titanium with any degree of ease and comfort.

i believe more investment has to be made in machining technologies until then titanium will not find as much wide spread use as the steel.

hey Siresoul, is that prototype 4? the extended legedes infront of the wings and the new DSI intake system sure to make it seem like it. If these are Prototype 4 pictures, where did you fine em'?
:confused: :confused:

OH NVM, its just a hoax! NOTE: DO NOT PAY ATTENTION TO THE ABOVE PICTURES!!
