While I can see that the weight of stainless is an asset in some applications (like a backplate), I am constantly wondering why it isn't utilized more in most of the applications where SS is used in scuba. I have read here that some kinds of machining are more challenging in Ti, but then I see plenty of rather complicated products in this material (like guns and regulators)
Why not more of the following in Ti?...
D-rings (I see Seaquest puts them on a BC or two)
webbing sliders, etc.
Assorted Clips, double enders, etc.
various scuba tools and implements
What gives?
