Recommend a material type for gear set.
(OP)
I have an aluminum gear from an old instrument that has worn down. I would like to reverse engineer a new gear using a higher strength material, however, I have a concern about the mass moment of inertia of the new gear. If I use steel, the mass will triple and I don't think the motor can handle it. What is a common material that gear manufacturers use that weighs about the same as aluminum with the strength of moly-steel? Beryllium is out due to the hazards. Is titanium realistic?

Not sure if you want to consider alternatives to your question. But if you are look below.
You might want to consider a different type of aluminum. Or if the instrument is old maybe it is better to just purchase a replacement.
