little use for titanium. Do anybody know the
reason?

whats really funnny is that the Titanium that was used to build the
SR-71 was exported from the then Soviet Union.


Russia has 75% of the world's supply of titanuim ore. We have been buying
processed TI "sponge" from them since the 60s in spite of the cold war.
