Maybe, other materials
can be used for bearings and moving parts.
Jet plane's engines, are mostly titanium!
There are also various Titanium alloys.
As a machinist at Aerospace co. had my share working with Titanium.
Bitch material to machine.
It has a narrow range of cutting speeds and feeds to use, or destroys the cutting tool's edge or even burns it out!
>> superalloys
The low-pressure compressor blades and several high-pressure compressor blades are made of Ti-6Al-4V alloys which are also used for the fan blade, and the rest of high-pressure compressor blades are made of Ni-based superalloys such as Hastelloy X.<<
Oh, yes!
The Hastelloy X.
If I want to die early, machine this sucker.
