Making A TITANIUM HAMMER

[@hoperp1951]

Titanium is VERY reactive with Oxygen, Hydrogen and Carbon amongst other things at high temperature. Heating in a blacksmiths forge with Charcoal / Carbon is a sure way to contaminate the outer skin and lead to a poor surface and the potential of stress and cracking of the surface. Better to use either electric or gas (and an oxidising atmosphere to reduce the possibility of picking up free Hydrogen). A sensible working temperature for Grade 5 (6AL-4V) is 925 to 950C. The density of Titanium is 56% that of steel, so you are going to have one really light hammer. Something else to be aware of, Titanium fines/ swarf from machining (and the grinding operations if you do a lot) can produce a thermite reaction if you have iron / steel swarf & fines left from previous operations. Ensure you clean down the machine and separate the different materials. Should a fire start that involves Titanium swarf / fines then dry powder or dry sand to smoother the fire is the way to go, using Water can give rise to an explosion. Retired now, but working in the Titanium industry for 40 years, along with Zirconium, Hafnium and Niobium amongst other things.

[@obh7762]

That's really interesting. Unless I'm mistaken, I thought thermite was aluminum oxide and iron oxide, so why does the steel and titanium shavings produce a reaction?

[@kasparroosalu]

@@obh7762 You can make thermite mixture out of many different elements and oxides. Only requirements are that the end products are thermodynamically more stable and that the reaction produces enough heat to be self-sustainable. You can even make silicon dioxide (sand) and aluminium thermite and produce elemental silicon though its really hard to ignite.

[@hoperp1951]

@@obh7762 Can be produced from other materials. Titanium has a very high attraction to Oxygen and in certain cases can take it from other materials. Also worth bearing in mind that the fines can ignite spontaneously and the recommended way to store it is submerged under water. Swarf / fines fires can be huge, I've seen 100ft tall swarf fires, they are white hot and you cannot get anywhere near.

Nice to hear this stuff from a Canadian 🇨🇦 it makes blacksmithing and forging sound easier thanks bro!

[@foolsgold2643]

Being that titanium is roughly half the weight of steel, sure, it takes less energy to swing, but it's not better. The weight of the hammer is what flattens steel more than your own arm strength. But who cares titanium is cool lmao

[@unknownboi.]

You’re right

[@rainofficial1924]

If he can create a high momentum and direct this to the hammer by having a fixed arm (just small joint movements) he can create even more impuls to bend the metals he is working. But since he is using more muscles to make his arm more rigid, he will probably get tired sooner and his joints might take more damage.

[@mccanlessdesign]

kinetic energy is mass times the square of velocity - so doubling the mass gives you twice as much energy; doubling the speed gives you four times.

[@krakowski_6237]

energy has to come from somewhere, you can't just make something weigh less and voila you suddenly hit everything twice as hard

[@mccanlessdesign]

@@krakowski_6237 Of course - but as you swing the hammer, it's lighter, so you can accelerate it faster in the fixed length of time of your strike - so you can put more energy into it during the swing.

[@EvelynH-tj1qt]

[@Trent_3320]

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

[@sheep1ewe]

If that is going to be a problem it can be extinguished by suffocating the flame with a bucket of sand. But i think the accumulation from projects like this is pretty low and since most of the process include hot forging it will generate a surface of titanium oxid wich is not combustible. It had been different if it was in a factory where one used cutting tools and could grinding in order to shape large amonths of metal, that type of fire can be extremly hot, but in this case i think it shall be fine if one just keeping an eye on it for some houers, titanuim dust will not lie and pyre smoldering like beads from an oxygen torch (or sparks from angle grinders on close range) hitting regular dust (at least not as far as i know) it either burn rapidly with an intense fire or does not. Most industrial fires directly caused by man that occured in the area where i live had it's origin in hasty works with Oxy/AC torches (mainly deconstruction works on dismantling areas where people get tired and went home to early and did not use proper heatprotection blankets) and people forgot to sitting firewatch after the wok was done.

Tungsten doesn't forge. It just degrades and throws off dangerous fumes.

[@DanielChristiansen]

​@@SnowblindOtter are you thinking of tungsten-carbide? Pure tungsten is an element... what would it degrade into? Now, getting it to 3700k - that is the challenge :D

[@joshschneider9766]

@@DanielChristiansen it oxidizes and flakes off rather than homogenize into different shapes

[@SnowblindOtter]

@@DanielChristiansen I was thinking about tungsten carbide, yes. Most people talk about 'forging tungsten' referring to tungsten carbide. However, I will point out that the *MELTING* point of elemental tungsten is 6,200 degrees. Its Brittle-Ductile Transition(also known as Forging) temperature is around 800 degrees. Getting pure tungsten to forging temperature would be easy enough, really, but the problems would arise from the uncertainty regarding how toxic tungsten oxide species are, and the fact that enough tungsten to forge could be more expensive than pure gold of the same amount. Also, I deliberately converted my temperatures to Fahrenheit. I apologize if you'll have to convert them back, but I'm not a fan of Celsius/Kelvin. It's just the one Metric unit that's not superior to Imperial.

[@Doug_in_NC]

Daniel Christiansen The temperature required to make tungsten soft enough to try to work would be well beyond what you could do in a home shop. The melting point is over double that of most steels.

[@davefellhoelter1343]

years ago I built and worked on equipment at a forge specializing it titanium and the black smith knocked me out a titanium digging bar, It was one of my most prized tools my whole working life. So strange and light with such power and strength, and the blue green sparks and spooky sound when you hit concrete. Out of this world fire work show. Loved the looks of coworkers when they picked up my pry/digging bar and it was NOT what they thought. Word of caution!! titanium shavings can auto ignite similar to magnesium and need special fire fighting equipment and storage considerations.

[@aaronkatada9166]

With the anodizing of titanium, while a big set up like that works, I find more success when I use just some 9V batteries in series with a positive lead to the titanium, and a negative lead attached to a brush or sponge soaked in some electrolyte solution. It’s quite literally “brushing” on the layer of titanium oxide, and the variable voltage (depending on number of 9v batteries) lets you make lots of different colors. It also lets you make it multiple colors too if you are into a look like that
