These two clearly don't know about titanium.

Steel is much stronger than titanium.
Titanium is a middle ground between steel and aluminum.
steel is an alloy
I only fly in airplanes made of 100% American steel.
Iron and bronze have entire ages of history named after them, so…
This idiot forgot the beer can age
Beer cans have a plastic liner, otherwise the beer would eat through the aluminum.
Aluminum "rusts" as well. White rust. Aluminum oxide.
in fact, it rusts so fast, that it's pretty much impossible to get a "clean" aluminium surface while oxygen is around
They had to invent an entirely new style of welding to weld it correctly because it rusts so much you can't even melt it for welding reliably.
Really? No one's on the Tungsten train over here? Highest melting point of all metals. It's also called 'the devourer of tin'. Now that's metal for ya.
The true tossup is actually mercury or lead.
Both insanely useful metals with a massive variety of helpful traits.
And the universe made them poisonous to us as a big "FUCK YOU".
Amateurs! It's gotta be silver!
- Looks nice in jewellery
- Antimicrobial properties
- An essential component of camera film
- Highly conductive (e.g. used for electrodes and thermal paste in computing)
- Catalyst in many chemical reactions
- Used to make mirrors
- A critical component of solar panels
- The only metal capable of incapacitating werewolves, and also somewhat effective against vampires
Highly conductive
Until it oxidizes, and silver is a complete whore for oxygen.
I hate aluminum too! It's the plastic of metals.
What, lightweight yet strong? Versatile? Yeah I guess it's like plastic, except the part where it's also infinitely recyclable. Just where do you get off on this aluminum hate???
