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

@shortstories

Thinking that Titanium is about as strong as steel while being much lighter.

Not sure about how to measure strength in Iron since there are Cast Iron that is very hard but not flexible and carbon steel and stainless steel.

But I vote Iron, since titanium is mostly light while there should be some super hard iron.

I think if you have to keep in mind that if you have the same volume of steel it will be a greater mass, and a lot of people that claim titanium is stronger are mentioning strength per mass instead of strength per volume

You also have to consider that the shape matters

But someone commented that it matters if you are measuring tensile strength vs compressive strength when comparing these metals

If I have the same volume then the steal will weigh about 1.8 times as much as the titanium. But as I understand it, this is where they should be about equal in strength.

But since Iron is such a wide spectrum I was just thinking that there must be some super hard Iron that is a lot stronger than Titanium
