gr. 5 weighs nearly half of steel and ergal 7075T6 nearly 1/4. |
| Titanium gr. 5 can be used for all applications that require particular resistance (engine and chassis parts, except wheel stems only).
Ergal is suitable for all other parts which do not require extreme resistance (fairings, crankcases, windscreens, mudguards, etc.).
