Reply:Russian has most ore for titanium.Titanium has the strength of steel and weight of aluminum and takes a higher heat than aluminum. Great for frosting and paint too. Great for jet aircraft skin for high temperature. There are aluminum alloys that can same strength as steel but will not take heat. Today you see a lot titanium in ads but mainly for advertising the product Dave
