wheres stewy Confused


in NZ skiing Razz heh heh...

i don't know if i can help the public knowledge effort much.. Ti is used for 'low to medium temp' jet turbine blades becuase of a few things... strength to weight ratio and creep resistance.. but mostly because of weight. large blade = heavy. stronger material = less material used. less dense material = even less material used.

there are so many factors involved here (piston weight, rpm, heat and processing treatments, geometry, etc etc) that it's hard to give a better answer than "it depends" Wink
decreasing piston weight reduces load at TDC at start of intake stroke, and that will increase the life of any rod.

as Ed said... at that rpm, stuff isn't going to last long... hopefully it will last "long enough" Very Happy
Cya, Stewart
