Cost-Effective Alternatives to Titanium in Marine Applications

Have you been scouring the planet’s elders to try to find any particularly inexpensive materials that can be used for building things in the ocean? Shenghui has some fantastic suggestions for you. Let’s take a look at some different solutions that aren’t pricey, but still offer you a really good product.

Econmic Possibilities of the Ocean Structures

When building for the ocean, titanium is a popular choice for many because it is one of the strongest metals and can withstand some of the harsh conditions. The problem is that titanium is also very expensive, difficult to afford. Here’s where Shenghui can step in. We are investigating other material that is just as good but much less expensive.”

Inexpensive Materials for Ocean Units ~ Water and Fish-themed items

One material we discovered that is able to supplement titanium is aluminum.” Aluminum is light, strong and doesn’t rust, which makes it an appealing material for ocean projects. Aluminum is not only significantly less expensive than titanium, but it also mills relatively easily, reducing the amount of time and effort you’ll need to devote to manufacturing.

Smart Options, Instead of Titanium

Another good choice, Shenghui says, is composite materials. Composites are formed by combining two or more materials to make a material even stronger. This is a good alternative to titanium, since composites can be molded to vary the needs and are usually cheaper to manufacture.

Budget Friendly Ocean Construction Options

Steel is also a material that Shenghui suggests as an alternative to titanium for ocean building. Steel is durable and can withstand harsh ocean conditions. And it is much less expensive than titanium, a better bet for construction in water. In switching out the titanium for steel, for example, you’ll save a ton of money and you aren’t sacrificing any quality.
