[QUOTE="WESTERNAERO, post: 419814, member: 24135"] Acually titanium is stiffer. The lower PSI number is stating that is has less flexibility and will facture sooner. Kinda like bending a tube of glass or plastic, glass is stiffer but will fracture or break with less pressure. Steel is more ductile or flexible. When is the last time someone tried to bend a reciever in half, these are not the type of forces being generated. Titanium is very tough and resists change and movement from atmoshere and heat very well. The drawback to titanium is cost at about $35.00 lbs or more and the machinability is very low, driving manufacturing cost WAY up. Titanuim is the way to go if you can afford it, in my opinion.
