- Aluminium and Titanium
- Aluminium
- Low density
- Although being high on the reactivity series, it is resistant to corrosion
- it's oxide cannot be reduced using carbon
- Extracted by electrolysis
- Requires high temperatures and a lot of electricity
- Expensive to extract
- Pure aluminium is not very strong
- Aluminium alloys are stronger
- Titanium
- Resistant to corrosion
- Very strong
- Low density compared with other strong metals
- Titanium oxide can be reduced by carbon, but the metal reacts with carbon making it brittle
- Extracted from it's ore by a process that involves several stages and large amounts of energy
- Aluminium
