Was wondering if anyone has used Titanium for wrist pins? IMHO, it would be lighter and stronger than steel, although more expensive. Any thoughts? She was only the Fish Mongers daughter. But she lay on the slab and said 'fillet' | ||

Unless you used a lot of pins the weight saving would be negligible. It is very strong, however steel is much stronger than any wood. Mostly I like the color of bare titanium and it will never corrode. | |||

That's a good solution to the problem of broken steel wrist pins...  | |||

Are you guys talking about this kind of a rod work? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9blvsPF_uCE "When the wind stops....start rowing. When the wind starts, get the sail up quick." | |||

I don't think the added cost and trouble would be worth it. You will probably only save part of an oz. I have often used brass rod, to get a little more weight....Tom SCI lifer NRA Patron DRSS DSC | |||

Ti is only half the weight of steel. A steel rod 1/4" diameter 6 inches long is only 1.6 oz. and a Ti rod would therefor be .8 oz. Not worth the money or effort. and Ti is strong in a different way then steel. It's more flexible then steel but springs back better too. Where Titanium is best is in a design that is structurally rigid but need to be lighter in weight. Or be light and heat resistant at the same time. www.KLStottlemyer.com Deport the Homeless and Give the Illegals citizenship. AT LEAST THE ILLEGALS WILL WORK | |||

Did you mean, "neither rusts"? And, in your opinion, how important is rust resistance. I would think the epoxy would keep moisture out, but I am often wrong.
