You tell me, how did the Soviets fabricate that hull of the Alfa Class?I doubt that only costs are sufficent explanation. It is possible to even weld such thick plates of Titanium? Or do cast Titanium would be as good as Steel? Without ballistic tests it is hard to say.
I know Titanium can be easily contaminated by oxygen etc., but surely, they can be worked upon in an inert environment.
I do not understand your point or you do not understand the references that you present?I didn't know that, seriously... Stop acting like a father if you do not understand the point, and try educating others.
Remember how you termed Copper melting in a shaped charge as "nonsense," and then came up with a flame temperature of RDX that turned out to be less than the temperature of burning tobacco in a cigarette?
Remember what @Decklander had said earlier? "Do not try to teach your father . . ."
You need to stop provoking others. Did you hear that? Stop provoking others. That is your weapon every time you stand exposed, and I do not find that particularly pleasant.
What does not exist? What on earth are you talking about? Titanium does not exist? Titanium armour does not exist? Brinnell Hardness Number does not exist? Giga Pascals does not exist?I understand, it seems that you seek there things which does not exist, neither you understand what is written in that table.
Mechanical properties are not everything, yes, and your point is? What exactly are you trying to say?Mechanical properties are not everything, it is also question as how thick plates from specific material can be made, and if these plates can be welded. For example THS plates are more efficent than RHA, but are also difficult to manufacture as thicker ones, and more difficult to weld.
There is at least several reasons why nobody makes tanks from pure Titanium. Same goes for alluminium, for example British were experimenting with alluminium tank with Burlington armor, in the end idea was abandoned.
