{ Week 11 } Ship Materials: Titanium and Aluminium

Guggenheim 

Highly corrosion resistant, and is not affected by water, saline solutions or chlorine gas.


Titanium is just as strong as steel, but approximately 45% lighter. It’s 60% heavier than aluminium, but more than twice as strong.


I will use an aluminium hull with titanium frame to give a sheen.
