Weight for weight Ti is stronger but most Ti pots are quite a bit thinner than Al pots, so maybe strenght gain is lost ?


I've also heard that if you heat a Ti pot empty, like you can with SS before you put water in them to get a quicker boil going, you can burn holes in the Ti pots or when heating a Ti pan empty without somekind of grease in it for baking could also be troublesome, deforming. Anyone experienced problems like this ? This what i've been told by people who work in outdoor shops.

Probably the thicker AL pots could handle a bit of preheating but a thinner one would probably deform as well ?


The melting point for Titanium is about 3135F and about 1220F for aluminum.
