Line 91:
*Many [[backpacking|backpackers]] use titanium equipment, including cookware, eating utensils, lanterns and tent stakes. Though slightly more expensive than traditional steel or aluminium alternatives, these titanium products can be significantly lighter without compromising strength.
*Titanium cookware is available, and often more expensive than traditional cookware based on iron, copper, or aluminum. However, the thermal properties of titanium cookware can cause uneven heating without a well-distributed heat source, which may make it unsuitable for some culinary applications.
*Titanium has a high strength-to-weight ratio and shock-absorbing properties similar to [[steel]] alloys when used to manufacture high-quality [[bicycle frames|bicycle frame]]. Titanium has a higher cost but it has the advantage of [[rust|corrosion]] resistance.
*Titanium is increasingly used in [[lacrosse]] stick shafts.
*Titanium is increasingly being used in cricket helmet grills.
