Week 22's Fact or Fiction
#21
Jangar Wrote::thumbs: to those that said fiction Smile however....

Although lithium is in indeed the lightest metal, it is not strong enough for the rugged stresses on flying objects. It's a leading component of battery anode material and of special glasses and ceramics. The glass for the 200-inch Mount Palomar telescope in San Diego contains lithium. Titanium gets the nod from atmospheric vehicles. It is 45% lighter than steel but just as strong, and 60% heavier than aluminium but twice as strong.

Yogurt was developed before the days of the refigerator as a way to preserve the benefits of milk.

Lithium by itself is not strong enough but is used in aircraft parts such as leading and trailing edges, access covers, seat tracks and wing skins.
It is also used in aircraft fuels and batteries.

When alloyed with aluminium, copper, manganese, and cadmium lithium makes high perfomance alloys for aircraft. It is also used in certain types of military aircrafts parts like main wing box, center fuselage and control surfaces and are used as substitute for conventional Aluminum alloys in helicopters, rockets and satellite systems.

Lithium stearate is mixed with oils to make all-purpose and high-temperature lubricants. Would this not be used in aircraft?

Lithium bromide is used in the air conditioning.

We know that lithium is used to manufacture missiles.

But back to the question on yogurt. Fiction - it was probably developed quite by accident.
