    Titanium

    Regarding the ideal material for gas cylinders, conventional Chr-Mo steel might be perfect if it were appropriately surface treated. Specifically, the carbonitriding process may be ideal because it embeds nitrogen into iron-containing alloys to create a corrosion-resistant finish that is a dull...

    Titanium

    To quote from Atomic Aquatic's website... The only reason titanium is not used more in the diving industry, or any industry for that matter, is because of its cost. Titanium is notoriously difficult to extract from ore, requiring a lengthly, toxic, and energy expensive process. Specifically...
