Ti is a very nice alloy. Very strong with the weight of aluminium. But i think it's a bitch to work with (weld or cnc).

 

I dont, myslef, had to work with Ti but that's what i heard. Maybe someone who worked with Ti will put his 2 cents.

 

I still have nightmare about Dural, who is a very nice aluminium alloy, but was a bitch to pour,cast,weld,cnc, name it! Maybe Ti alloy fall in that category, if so, if you're not in aeronautic or F1 racing, it probably doesnt worth the trouble.

So depending on the alloy of titanium it's going to determine its qualities, ask the person for a copy of there mil test report, that will give you a better idea of its hardness. I spoke to a guy at a fab shop about making some to my specs, I had to get a copy of the mil test report from a company that makes titanium racing parts in order for him to use the best alloy. In general titanium is half the weight of steel and 10 times harder, never more flexible. Some exceptions apply.
