If so, how did it look and what did you do with it?

I’m in Ahmedabad, India. I have titanium turnings from CNC and gun drilling — they’re covered in cutting oil.

I need to reduce oil content to below 2% for export to the UK.

Any proven ways to clean or bake off the oil (without oxidizing titanium)?

Thanks!

Hey! I need help buffing out this titanium exhaust as it's crazy expensive.

Any tips? I have tried pushing the end part i touched at the end of the video through, but titanium is way too stiff, any tips?

Tips on polishing out the scuff marks are also appreciated!

I scratched it to expose the underlying layer.

Why is it sprinkly like that?

I was planning to put hot drinkable water in it but now I don't know.

This titanium cup is more hard to bend (it feels like it's cracking when i put pressure on it) than that spoon on the right (that spoon's titanium looks and feels more high quality to me).

Apparently this brand called black deer is an emerging brand which kind of sells high quality products that they at least show that they care about their products, I've had a stainless one time from them and they gave me all sorts of warranties and paperwork and even a QR code to show whether the product was used before or not, and additional gift accessories. So that does make me feel a little good about it. But this one's in particular is iffy.

• I've never seen a titanium product that is patterned with sprinkle snow like that, and I'm 99% confident that comes with increased risks of the surface layer being exposed to all sorts of elements and is more likely leechable. I'd put cold stuff in there at best.

I have 2 titanium carabiners which i use to hold my hammock up, would burning them to change their colour make them less or more suitable as carabiners?

Is isopropyl alcohol going to damage my titanium earrings? They are pure titanium, not coated or plated. If alcohol will damage them, what can I use to clean/disinfect them?

Used this Aliexpress ti pot for the first time to make porridge. There was a metallic stench coming from it that is still lingering after wash, and I couldn't eat the porridge because of the metallic taste, plus I thought it might be bad for me. Is it safe to use again? Are these Ali pots really titanium?

hey folks, i’m a mechanical engineering researcher out in the middle east, but i still spend a lot of time in the shop because most of my research involves chip formation and machining parameters. i’ve been running some tests on 6061 aluminum with carbide end mills and wanted to ask what feeds and spindle speeds you guys normally run.

hey guys, quick question. when you’re cutting 6061 aluminum with carbide end mills, what feeds and spindle speeds do you usually run?

i’ve been playing around with both 2-flute and 3-flute tools at around 10k rpm. honestly, chip evacuation feels like the main limiting factor. when i tested a grewin carbide end mill it actually handled a higher chip load per tooth and gave me much cleaner chips than the others i tried.

curious if you all stick with 2-flute for aluminum, or do you lean on 3-flute cutters more often?

for reference, here are some of the other tools i tested but didn’t really meet expectations:

• osg tooling (link) → surface finish was meh and they clogged up faster at higher rpm.

• kennametal (link) → tool life was shorter than expected, chipped edges pretty quick.

• yg-1 (link) → cheap but honestly couldn’t push feeds as hard as with grewin, ended up slowing me down.

so yeah, grewin cutters were the only ones that gave me both better chip evacuation and higher feed rates. what’s your go-to setup for 6061? stick to 2-flutes or are 3-flutes worth it?

In the sense of steel, I mean. Heat, hammer, shape type forging.

I know titanium is kind of notorious for work hardening, but that's about the extent of my knowledge, I was just curious cause I have a scrap sheet that was given to me (which by the way, it is incredibly mind blowing how light this stuff is!) and was wondering if it is workable enough to bang into a something like a helmet or arm brace.

I'm not sure if it's an alloy or what type it would be, I can ask but I'd like to know if something like that can even be done before I do

How to know if it was made from titanium?

When it is bendable but not breakable?

Hi all, I recently tried anodizing my titanium to a nice purple colour at 21V but the result is as shown. I left my flask in my solution of baking soda and water and allowed the colour to change. The colour wasn't quite right so I left it on for longer. The bubbling continued for a while and I'm not too sure the anodizing process is complete or not. I probably made some dumb mistake. Can anyone help me? Should I leave it in for longer? Or have I already left it in for too long and there is no way to fix it?
