BTW, has anyone heard of the Titanium alloy 62S? I am reading around the web that it's a low cost Ti alloy, although i don't know the price yet, haven't found a supplier of it yet.

Anyways, it has medium-high strength for Ti alloys @ 140,000 psi Yield strength (MATWEB), and 145,000 ultimate. It's 60% more dense than Alum. though, but twice as strong, and much tougher for impact strength.

Sounds like a good alternative to 7075 @ 73,000 psi (MATWEB). I've seen some Ti alloys up to 280,000 psi. wow

If the price is right...
