CPF discussion about titanium.

Very educational topic

No kidding. It must be quite a trick to weld something that catches fire before it melts. I have a welded titanium water bottle and I have no idea how they made it.

I've welded Titanium. It needs to be enveloped in an inert atmosphere to accomplish it.

Grade 2 Titanium is what was chosen to manufacture Prometheus Alpha and Delta flashlights due to it's better electrical properties.

A thing to not do with titanium utensils. Do not use them in any glazed ceramic, porcelain, or glass dishes. That includes Corelle and Pyrex. The Ti will make permanent grey marks on the dish.

That has me wanting to take a Ti chopstick and try to completely titanium plate the inside of a Corelle bowl by rubbing the stick all over it.

I think the titanium finish on the cymbal looks nice, but I've dealt with cases of aluminum and manganese poisoning (my neighbors) before, so I decided to test the titanium as well. It appears to be poisonous and some people have hypersensitivity to it. But I don't know exactly how much you need to eat it in order to get poisoned. Perhaps for this it is necessary to use titanium dishes for many years.

A Case of Titanium Pseudotumor and Systemic Toxicity After Total Hip Arthroplasty Polyethylene Failure

We describe the case of a 57-year-old female who underwent bilateral ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip arthroplasties performed in 2015. She presented to us in 2018 with headaches, fatigue, and right hip pain 5 months after an atraumatic right ...

The rare titanium poisoning seems to be from extremely fine bits of it getting into the bloodstream from titanium implants wear and tear.

Getting poisoned from Ti utensils is not going to happen. Many people do not know the formulations in their stainless steel utensils, how much nickel and chromium is in them.

Stainless Steel Leaches Nickel and Chromium into Foods During Cooking

Toxicological studies show that oral doses of nickel and chromium can cause cutaneous adverse reactions such as dermatitis. Additional dietary sources, such as leaching from stainless steel cookware during food preparation, are not well characterized. ...

Nickel plating on vision glasses at the nose pieces tarnish on me. Rarely are people allergic to Titanium.

I used Corelle many years ago and never saw the Ti etching take on a uniform look.

Simply bead blast using Titanium grit 🤷‍♂️

But you never tried to deliberately scrub something titanium over the entire surface.

Had one of these that had more Ti tracks than this one but dropped it on a brick floor. Ever seen a Corelle dish shatter? Yowsers.

Yes, Wife and I have had that happen, oddly enough it was outside on a walkway while bringing it inside. Certainly not as pretty as your posted picture

Two things about the metal we so appreciate:

Years ago, I removed the black finish on the titanium clip for a Spyderco Atlantic Salt. Well there's times when the clip gets scraped on the edge of our quartz countertop:

AND, titanium cookware (that we have) functions on our induction cooktop:
