Titanium alloys will be lighter than steel, with reasonable potential. Key factors are the material’s hardness (for surface resistance to penetration), ductility/malleability (ability to diffuse the bullet’s energy by deforming if the surface layer is penetrated), and the nature of any case hardened layer. read more
