Not so much, Titanium weighs 2.605 oz/cu in. Aluminum weighs 1.56 oz/cu in
A couple of places were experimenting with straight carbon. I thought that would be fun to mess with as a small shop, no one-off forgings required, high strength, low weight, a good cnc would machine to size okay.Not so much, Titanium weighs 2.605 oz/cu in. Aluminum weighs 1.56 oz/cu in

There's an interesting product for someone who wants to get off his ass and take a little risk.
Also hollow connecting rods ....
Yes, but they are tubular and the shape is not really optimized for max strength. I am thinking of a different way ... (me to know and you to find out )Miller / Offenhauser had hollow connecting rods for about 100 years or so.
Honda was using for a while hollow connecting rods. IIRC diffusion bonded titanium.Also hollow connecting rods ....
