The Burj Khalifa Tower in Dubai is the world ’ s tallest structure .
Throughout human history , advancements in construction materials and methods have been a hallmark of progress . We define the success of entire civilizations based on the way they built structures . For example , we praise the ancient Egyptians for their incredible ability to cut stone and form it into colossal pyramids . In Greece , the intricate marble work of the Parthenon is all but synonymous with Greek identity . However , in terms of architectural achievement , there has never been a more progressive era than the present . In 2000 years , surely , future archaeologists will look back in amazement at the engineering achievements like the 2717-foot-tall Burj Khalifa Tower or the beautiful Walt Disney Concert Hall and marvel at the materials that make these projects possible , specifically , stainless steel and titanium alloys .
Advantages in modern construction As we continue to push the boundaries of what is possible in modern construction , we rely more and more on high-tech building materials that combine durability , sustainability , and aesthetic appeal . Stainless steel and titanium alloys are two such materials . Each metal has its own unique strengths and characteristics , making them increasingly popular in modern design and construction .
Stainless steel : durability meets flexibility Because of its exceptional corrosion resistance , stainless steel is a staple material in modern construction . The intrinsic composition of the alloy includes iron , chromium ( typically at least 10.5 %),
