Which is stronger when in equal, shape, size and volume

@shortstories what sort of strength and what alloy and treatment
titanium has better tensile and ultimate yield strength but is inappropriate for high load cycle applications
and even the expensive titanium grades tend to lose out to iron on compressive strength

@Paultron

So you are saying that titanium has higher tensile strength but lower compressive strength for objects with the same shape and size?

When you are not measuring strength per mass

@shortstories it depends on how the iron is produced but yeah iron can be very compression resistant
Ti advantages are generally tensile strength, light weight and corrosion resistance but falls down with high load cycles
personally i'm fond of high grade CoCrMo for high strength biologic applications
@shortstories load bearing implants
titanium and CoCrMo compete for a lot of the same applications but the latter is generally preferred for stuff like hips while titanium is preferred for dental work
steels are p much out
