I've only worked with titanium a few times, but one thing i learned quick, is to clean up all the dust around the work area and be careful. Titanium burns white and is almost impossible to put out... You'll burn down your shop if your not careful... Great video, take it easy...
@@Thefreakyfreek I keep meaning to do a build/video building a framelock, but i keep getting involved with other projects... just be careful, Titanium is fun to work with and looks great.. take it easy...
Hello Chris, titanium needs some oxygene to ignite and no graphite powder (reducer): it's easy to see when the flame blows the powder out of the crucible, in the air the powder burns easily. Perhaps you can blow the powder directly into the torch's flame : you would obtain a sparkle fountain
Chris, you need to get a hold of some magnesium, preferably chips like off of a milling machine. They will ignite much more readily than titanium and support combustion much more readily. Don't put water on it unless you can be about 50' away. Dashboard/steering column assemblies often have magnesium in them and light up like a christmas tree during a car fire. Especially when the FD hits them with an 1-3/4" hose. Fun stuff.
I've been generating some titanium chips and dust. I also have some magnesium powder/chips on hand. I know you have to be careful maching titanium because an ignited chip can ignite a pile of chips, just like magnesium. So obviously dont let it pile up because if it starts your unlikely to put it out in time. I think one of the first Crew Dragon capsules recovered later exploded on a test stand because of something loosely related. I think the explanation was hypergolics from the thrusters getting into a titanium valve and reacting. Violently. But under more common conditions like using a propane torch, titanium only seems to want to burn while its being blown away by your torch. Figured i'd try mixing ti and mag dust together and seeing what happens, maybe try carfully filing in a ferro rod if the ti and mag dont work. It may require an oxidizer, then that gets into a whole other thing thats just to much trouble. I guess I could just look it up but that feels like cheating, though definitely safer. We dont have wood where I come from so we are forced to burn rocks, bad neighbors, obviously plastic cuz that shits everywhere. Or maybe I do have trees and I'm just trying to discover a reason for why the hell I care about this in the first place. Salt peter maybe? Ughh..... our poor families.... what the hell are they getting into now is frequently uttered around peeps like us. Also lighting camp fires may not require tungsten vaporizing temperatures but it sure looks cool😁

Dave Erving Evader Knives good to know im going to macine titianium at home so thats somting to consider

Sir can you please tell me which is the most brightly burning element
@@kruthiknr3732 did you find out?
Reminds of the time I discovered that aluminum foil is flammable.
It was one of my more enjoyable kitchen fires.
You're giving me bad ideas
It looks like you were sciencing the heck out of that stuff. Well maybe having some fun...
“Mom, my eyes are melting ... that’s ok little Johnny ... it’s for science!!”
It looks like an Aperture Science expirement XD)
Love the description omg :'D
ppl are so grateful that they are not on that leaf's position

Can anyone tell me which is the most brightly burning element in periodic table
If you get titanium chips from machining or cutting processes those burn much better. Don't burn em in the shop tho.

I had some magnesium ribbon from a science kit when I was a kid. Loved to burn that stuff! :D
The description totally describes me

did you test it?
FOR SCIENCE, YOU MONSTER
Who came after dexter new blood?
I also use Nature Made supplements. Only vitamin D though. :)
You burn titanium only in 0,5k of 4k ))
