I work at a titanium melt shop. Can confirm this is accurate.

One of the key properties you failed to mention is that Ti naturally integrates with bone making it the choice for bone screws and many implants.

Titanium cuts like butter with the right tools. It is my preferred metal to machine. Super easy, super finishes, amazing dim control, etc. It is amazing.

I have a large block of titanium which had used in a Soviet submarine. The sub had been undergoing repairs in East Germany when the Berlin wall came down and rather than pay to have her fixed the Russians allowed her to be cut up and salvaged and the pieces became important to military intelligence.

we bought some eight mm titanium rods to try to make some tools for a machine that kept rounding the hard edges. it was way softer than i thought it would be. softer than steel. easy to bend. puts off some really impressive white sparks when you grind it.

My hip is titanium. Its amazing. The x-ray looks like something out of Terminator.

Thanks for this beautiful vid. As a retired engineer developing rare machinery for vacuum filtration and Eutectic Freeze Crystallisation I have to say, like it. I developed vacuum belt filters made of almost purest titanium (grade 2) and I have to say one of the most incredible materials I ever used. I like to suggest to investigate Eutectic Freeze Crystallisation. The process is environmental friendly and can be used for the separation of water and salts.

Can you do a vid on how Beryllium is made an what it’s used for?

Back in the 90's the bike shops I managed had all sorts of high-end components on display under glass. Anodized components of all sorts and colors that demanded high prices. Bike bling. Along with those were all manner of titanium parts, bolts, quick releases, and screws to impress and tempt those who wanted to make their bikes just that much nicer. One guy was at the counter looking at all the various stuff when he noticed some titanium hardware that looked strange. Didn't think they were bolts he'd ever seen on a bike before so he asked about them.
