Titanium is a high-performing engineering material. Depending on design criteria, other alloys may be alternatives to titanium.
Take a look at some alternative alloys presented at the Advanced Materials & Manufacturing Technology for Naval Applications seminar in Baltimore.

Testing labs are faced with a Catch-22: Many high-performance alloys are highly corrosion resistant. That's great. But how do you successfully etch samples of these alloys for microstructural evaluation?
Eliminate some of the guesswork by following suggested guidelines for acid etching.
Learn the recommended etchants for testing about 100 specialty alloys including stainless steels, high temperature alloys, tool and alloy steels, and magnetic and expansion alloys.
Test your etching knowledge now by taking this pop quiz. (Sure, you may refer to the article.)
1. What is the difference in storing Waterless Kalling's and Glyceregia?
2. What is the recommended etchant for Custom 475® stainless?
3. True or false: High-temperature alloys are typically more difficult to etch than austenitic stainless steels.

When choosing an alloy for a structure that is expected to last a century or more, you want the best performance at a competitive overall cost.
If you specify alloys for bridge decks, anchoring systems, chemical plant infrastructure, coastal piers, welded-wire mesh and similar reinforcement applications, new EnduraMet® 32 stainless is a low-nickel, corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel that is a lower-cost alternative to stainless Alloy 2205 and AISI 316LN. While providing solid support in concrete, EnduraMet 32 could save on your bottom line.
