The Room of Requirement: Material Data.

Let there be a place with links leading to required information on various construction materials for the BFR.

I am thinking that the labor costs between using 316SS and Titanium to construct the thing I am working on now, so we may as well go with titanium for the innermost parts. I am not so sure that Ti would be a good choice for the Cool Water and Hot Water assemblies.

There are two potential problems with using Ti in the outer assemblies:

1) Activation. We need to the Nuke-E's to weigh in on this one.

2) Ti tends to suck hydrogen out of water at elevated temps. I don't know if this problem has been addressed since my days at Oxyrane. Believe me, it is NOT a minor problem.
