What alloys are those?
And what units are the strengths presented in? That looks kinda like
MPa.
Yes, titanium alloys could be used in warm structures in a spacecraft.
But titanium alloys won't be any better off than aluminum alloys if
there's a hole in the heat shield, so...what are you gaining from the
titanium alloy?
