If you have a piece of iron that weighs 100 pounds

the same part will weigh 57 pounds if it's made of titanium

the part will only weigh 34 pounds if it's made of aluminum

it will only weigh 22 pounds if it's made of magnesium.

Reinforcing a part because of weaker metals was not taken into account.
