On top of the gains in strength, the new alloy benefits from a lower cost process. However, wide scale adoption of β-titanium alloys in transportation applications has been limited due to its high cost. Ti-185 alloy demonstrated high tensile and shear strength proving to be an excellent candidate for fastener applications.

In a 1995 paper, Cooper noted that the cost of the recovery unit is small compared with the cost of the battery because it operates continuously and hence at a lower power level than the battery. In addition, it lacks the expensive air electrode of the zinc/air battery, adding to the lower cost of the ZAFC solution.
