Greetings,
many peopl have the misconception that Ti is stronger than steel. It isn't. Its strength to weight properties are among the highest for a metal but in absolute terms, steel is still the stronger. I am of course comparing the strongest steel against the strongetst Ti. Ti is harder than steel but that is a different thing from toughness which may involve some plastic deformation. Ti is hard and brittle and may chip instead of dent like steel. All in all, steel is tougher.
cheers
bryan
