Titanium alloys
My daughter is researching the Eurofighter Typhoon and it says some of the control surfaces are titanium-lithium alloy. What does the lithium add in this instance? Does it make the titanium less reactive or allow it to be more malleable?
I hadn't heard of this combo and am just curious.
