Titanium has a dirty secret

My rc car has titanium. It's not that exotic anymore. $20 for gearbox skids, plus they spark really cool when you bottom out 🤣🤣🤣

It canbe dangerous?
YOU ARE DANGEROUS!!

Crazy it can be used in fighter jets and no friction fires occur.

Never knew! Some welder I am😂😭

Wtf i never expedted this

Isn’t it because there is magnesium in the DNA of Titanium. I used to machine a couple different types of titanium and there was one that had a higher nickel content and wouldn’t catch fire. But the 6-4 titanium would with the slightest spark!

Titanium is also used for human consumption and ePhones.

It's not super strong. It has the same strength as steel

How the hell do you own a lathe and start it with the chuck key. Thats fucked

“Let’s see how many safety violations we can commit in just one video” -this guy probably

bros just like me, forgets to take the chuck out XD

He should weld that key in place.
Safety first 😊

Can you light a chunk on fire, Or just shavings?

Extractions and fire has been trying to set titanium on fire for quite a while and you did it in like 60 seconds

zirconium is a lot scarier to machine. That stuff just wants to be on fire. Titanium isn't too bad. If you see sparks you're machining too aggressively and your tools will probably break before you start a fire.

Come with meeee
And you'll beeee
in a wooorld of OHSA violations.....

You are lucky you didn't hurt yourself with that wrench...Haiyaaa

As a machinist, I hate this video from the bottom of my soul that just left my body.

So the shavings catch fire easily. If you were to heat up a titanium rod hot enough, would it combust as well??

Is it Lichter than Carbon finer

It's not on fire...it's rapid oxidation, as with steel wool, magnesium etc.

Titanium Super flammable 🔥 😅omg 😲

😂😂😂

I have a peace screwed in my hand.

Poor key

Lightest metal for its durability in the world vs one of the first inventions of humankind

That’s crazy cuz in the show Dexter sz9 they say titanium never melts…

It's also in my spine.

My braces rn watching this 👀 (they’re made out of titanium bc I’m allergic to some metal in the braces but we don’t know what or even why so the dentist just said she would go the 100% secure way…)

So fighter jets are super flammable?!?

as a scrapper it hurts my soul to watch you burn money like this.
i hate you

Flammable? No. Pyrophoric? Yes!
You should try machining a 17k lb Zirconium or Hafnium ingot. You’ll be happy to go back to Ti after those!

Imagine machining it with lubricant and the fire starts to burn everything in the workshop🗿

Titanium is light weight now ?...

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that has left the chuck in.

You shouldn't be allowed to get close to any lathe

Do NOT suck up titanium chips with a shop vac. Don't do it.

it's not strong at all

Its really RADIOACTIVE

Lets all act like this has nor could ever happen to us. If that's the case, we, you've never lived.

I have to bars of the stuff bolted to my ribcage

Weird for metal to burn

Isn’t magnesium supposed to be the metal that burns up easily

That's it, , leave the chuck key 🔑 in your lathe and then turn it on 👍

I was lucky enough to find a bike frame at a dump that is made from titanium. The seller at the recycling shop had no idea it was titanium. I paid $4 for it. When new it was worth thousands. I took it home and cleaned it. Changed the bearings and cleaned the lower bracket and fitted brakes and a handle bar and mavic period correct rims to it and tyres. Since rebuilding the bike which is a bare brushed titanium, I have had offers of up to $8k for it. I definitely won't be selling it.

It's the magnesium in it that makes it flammable

Is it just the shavings that are so flammable?

Entonces como lo derriten y lo convierte en barra de metales como el oro

Did you leave he chuck key in 🫠
