Do not repeat the experiments shown in this video!
So today I want to tell you about the most durable metal on Earth - titanium. In the periodic table of chemical elements titanium is in the 4th group, located after scandium.

I have a mountainbike frame and some bicycle parts like seatpost, handlebar, stem and bar ends that are made from titanium. The frame was made in 1993 and still looks like new. This material is very tough, strong and resistant. Also watches are often made of titanium. This metal is epic.

[@JETWTF]

Glad you mentioned the price being dependent on how hard it is to work rather than the metal itself. Pound for pound you get twice the titanium than you do steel so you do not need to buy as much to make products out of it. The high cost of titanium products is the labor and equipment costs to produce rather than the metal itself. Material costs balances out.

[@pointlessopinion611]

In the 1970s one of my neighbors has "acquired" some titanium bolts. At the time titanium was expensive, thus its characteristics were not well known. And I was taking a machine shop class at a local college. He loaned me one of the bolts, and I took it to class. The elder teacher recognized it immediately, performing no tests on it. Nobody told his younger assistant what it was, but he was curious. So he sparked it by touching it to a grinding wheel, and he was amazed. His eyes lit up like the sparks produced by the grinding wheel.

I've only seen this metal once in a specialty shop. They had a piece of round stock about three inches across and about six inches long. I asked to just hold it and play with it to kind of get a "feel" for it and it's instantly obvious that it's different. It has a near glass like sound when you tap it and it's so light that it feels like a hollow cylinder. Very interesting metal.

Do the same test again, but this time attach the plates to a holder that hold them in the same position before and after reaching them. There is energy dissipation contained in the projectile at the moment the plate moves during the absorption of the energy transfer at the moment of impact, reducing the actual damage produced by the projectile.

[@jackfrost2146]

I noticed that too, although on this test the results would probably the same. However, with technical videos it needs to be technically correct.

[@doxielain2231]

I was scrolling to find this comment and add it if it didn't exist. Also, I think that the masses of the metal effect the penetrating power when they are free to move and absorb the impact.

Its easy to remove the o2 from TiO2. But Ti is hard to alloy.

[@williamjust]

Great video. Of course, the experiment with shooting sheets of different metals is fun, but not really a rigorous test. It depends on the exact composition and treatment of the metals. Pure aluminium is soft, but for armour you'd use an alloy. Similarly with iron, if you used a steel with the right amount of carbon, that's been hardened and tempered, it'd be very resistant to bullets. I imagine the same applies to titanium. Cheers.

[@corners3755]

Just remember the energy has to go somewhere. So just because you think out the material with a stronger lighter material doesn't mean the blunt force trauma goes away

[@mysock351C]

I assume you mean unalloyed pure metals? Heat treated alloy steels will whip the pants off of Titanium. In engineering terms titanium is a compromise between lightweight aluminum (weak, but light) and the strength of good steels (very strong, but heavy).

Because it is extremely toxic and corrosive to tissues. Contact with skin requires treatment with multiple calcium gluconate injections. Believe me, you don't want to get exposed to this chemical.

[@madscientistshusta]

It is insanely corrosive to biomatter. I think its inbthe top 3 most acidic

[@TerminvsEst]

Yeah what NCF8710 said. And just a small amount of it on you can be absorbed through your skin and into your bloodstream, where it reacts with any calcium in your blood and precipitates as insoluble calcium fluoride, which can clog up blood vessels in your heart and cause a heart attack. That's why so many chemists are afraid of dealing with HF acid.

As a structural aircraft mechanic, I encountered titanium from time to time. It was a pain in the ass to drill but a nightmare to cut. We were doing structural modifications to strengthen the installation points for incorporating TCAS transponders. One of the pieces we installed was an 0.032" thick titanium doubler. It was about 16"x12" square, including about 24, 1 inch, finger-like tabs around the perimeter. This was normally supplied in a manufactured state, but one time we had to make our own. NIGHTMARE!!! Cutting out all those finger tabs around the perimeter of that rectangle of titanium sheet took FOREVER and required lots and lots of swearing and cursing and a few bandsaw blades, lol.

[@highstreetkillers4377]

Double side tape is risky for grinding, i've done it with a flycutter. But grinding the coolant will make the tape let go. Don't think its a good idea dry. Better off just blocking it in with thin wide strips of steel and keep the wheel over part always. Or use a vise if possible

[@highstreetkillers4377]

Or if possible bolt a steel plate to underside of titanium. There is other ways than tape. Tape is dangerous for grinding. Your new wheel wont like light cuts, it will gum up the wheel, grab the piece and throw it
