Titanium is a while metal that is 40% lighter than steel and 60% heavier than aluminum. Titanium alloys are metals containing a combination of titanium and other chemical elements. They are lightweight and corrosion resistant.
Aluminum is a silverish white metal that can be combined with some of these elements – silicon, magnesium, zinc, manganese, and copper to form aluminum alloys.

Charpy testing is a method for determining the relative impact strength of metals. It is also known as Charpy V notch test.
Mandrel forging is a forging operation that is done with the help of a tool called mandrel. A mandrel is a blunt ended tool or a rod that is sued to enlarge or retain the cavity in a hollow metal product during forging.
Aluminium gallium nitride is a semiconductor material and an alloy of aluminium nitride and gallium nitride. When grown on GaN, it gives rise to fixed charges at the interface stemming from piezoelectric effects.
Lead sulfide is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula PbS. It is also known as galena, which is the principal ore and important compound of lead. It is one of the earliest materials to be used as a semiconductor as it tends to crystallize in sodium chloride.
Copper (I) oxide or cuprous oxide is an inorganic compound having the formula Cu2O. It is a principal oxide of copper. It is a red-colored solid, which is a component of certain antifouling paints. The compound may be red or yellow based on the particle size.
