what would be the best coolant pipe material titanium? titanium corrodes into a more inert titanium dioxide or nitride. less weight than steel but more than aluminum. aluminum has a higher electron negativity than Ti. maybe an alloy Ti-6Al-4V. should only cost around $30 /ft.

The plastic pipes work very well and seem to last forever with zero galvanic problems.

Until they crack and the sleeves pull out.

I have saved all my excellent condition stockers...just in case.
