As strong as steel...

The alloy is stronger than steel FOR THE SAME WEIGHT,  i.e.
on a weight for weight basis, not for the same size/shape.......
( if it really is stronger in the same SHAPE, it would be
a breakthrough, and could replace Titanium )

the way it is worded, it sounds like is STRONGER THAN STEEL
while still being as LIGHT AS ALUMINUM.

Perhaps I could stand to be corrected though...
