Why is Titanium so fucking great? >doesn't rust >twice

Anyone know if jet fuel can melt titanium beams?

>>8419921
Melting point is at 1668 °C.
So no, it can't.

>>8419919
>doesn't rust
>Like aluminium and magnesium, titanium metal and its alloys oxidize immediately upon exposure to air.

Sure, it forms a protective oxide layer that prevents penetrative rust, but if you are working with nanoparticles (and if you aren't, then you are losing the game) that doesn't help you at all.

>former titanium researcher here

Titanium has some desirable properties and too the naive material scientist, why not use it?

Truth is there are less expensive and often times better options

Also
>>fairly cheap
not true pretty expensive $/kg compared to comparable metals for the same applications

Also most processing you can do to Ti is very expensive. Probably the only time you would use titanium is for aerospace or space applications since the costs are justified

>>8419919
It's roughly as strong as steel, however it co to use to absorb energy even as it breaks and bends, like aluminum.

>>8420446
>former titanium researcher here

>>8419919
Why don't they use it in cars then?

>cheap

>>8420445
Not that guy but dysons are pretty awesome.

We've put a standard home vacuum cleaner through shit that would destroy an industrial grade vacuum and it still works fine.

Fuck titanium, graphene is da shit.
You can do anything with graphene, anything!

TEN TWENTY THREE COLD ROLLED STEEL

honestly, titanium and other exotic alloys are fucking meme's. unless you are doing aerospace or gas turbine applications where you are trying to rock FOS<1, titanium is worthless.

titanium is essentially Aluminum with an endurance limit.

This. Did professional cleaning (business and residential) for ~10 years and never used a Dyson I liked. Their gimmicks and form do not translate to function, whether in the micro or the macro. I can't even see them as viable in the abstract. They suck.

Melee's were among the best. A bit heavy, but weighted properly and by no means ungainly. Sony actually makes okay vacuums, though the plastic is cheap and they're stupid about how many moving parts they use for mechanisms that could be simple. They overengineer where it doesn't matter (superfluous doodads, like the motor speed control is an RF transmitter tat needs batteries in the handle), skimp where it does. Still among the better though.

Due to extensive research done by the University of Pittsburgh, diamond has been confirmed as the hardest metal known to man. The research is as follows:

Pocket-protected scientists built a wall made of iron and crashed a diamond car into it at 400 miles per hour, and the car was unharmed. They then built a wall out of diamond and crashed a car made of iron moving at 400 miles an hour into the wall, and the wall came out fine. They then crashed a diamond car made of 400 miles per hour into a wall, and there were no survivors. They crashed 400 miles per hour into a diamond travelling at iron car. Western New York was powerless for hours. They rammed a wall made of metal into 400 miles an hour made of diamond, and the resulting explosion shifted earths orbit 400 million miles away from the sun, saving the earth from a meteor the size of a small Washington suburb that was hurtling towards mid-western Prussia at 400 billion miles an hour. They shot a diamond made of iron at a car moving at 400 walls per hour, and as a result caused over 10000 wayward planes to lose track of their bearings, and make a fatal crash with over 10000 buildings in downtown New York. They spun 400 miles at diamond into iron per wall. The results were inconclusive. Finally, they placed 400 diamonds per hour in front of a car made of wall travelling at miles per iron, and the result proved with out a doubt that diamonds were the hardest metal of all time, if not just the hardest metal known to man.

I don't know if it's the hardest known to man, but scandium aluminide is the hardest I can think of.

Or if intermetalic compounds don't count, probably tungsten.

>>8420809
>can't handle the banter

Sorry, the above should be directed to >>8420740

As for the cost, it's because titanium reacts air, water and carbon, so they can't use any of the normal refining techniques. Instead they have to use a magnesium sacrificial anode in molten titanium chloride. There are experimental alternative such as molten oxide electrolysis that might eventually make titanium production MUCH cheaper, but that's not likely for at least another decade.

45$ ,depending on size.
Most of his stuff is 1095,or 5160 spring steel.rarely does he do titanium.but all are hand made one of kind.
Boughr some low grade knifes from Amazon,most cheap Chinese junk.wouldn't hold edge.
These are real and razor sharp.
My dad retired from titanium mill,use to take the tour on family day. very fascinating to see the making of.
As a side note titanium dust is highly explosive like magnesium. His mill blew up bunch times.

no, it's easier to measure mass than volume. But if you know the density of the allow you want and the volume you need, it is very easy to get the mass.

Mass = Density*Volume

It would really depend desu. Charging per volume is typically done with fluids
