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.
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.
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.
What i like about this channel, is that it cobines simplistic things like pretty colors or explosions with interesting science, and that its clear that you really know where you are talking about
I love your content so much. You're one of the best youtubers for science. I love how thorough and informative you are. The kind of engaging content I need
@@hayatel2557Well, if you mean strength, than titanium is still way stronger. Tungsten is brittle and its density makes it weaker when used practically
Your vids are a great place to start learning about the elements ! The vids are interesting and not overly-long. Thank You and please keep up the good work Sir !
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.
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.
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.
Love that Steyer ! Always wanted to get one in my collection! And that PPK is 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 an excellent piece, I have that in a Sig ! I make silencers for the PPK pistols, I’m a machinist and a gunsmith, and silencers are my specialty! You’re videos are always the best information and they are so well done!
Super video, I've learnt heaps about this super metal. I use this metal in very thin wire from 40 gauge up to 24 gauge to make coils for my vapouriser unit. Very long lasting metal. Thank you for a great learning information video.
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).
Just a PSA. Titanium is not nearly the strongest metal. High alloy steel is far stronger. it is also no where near the highest strength to weight. Beryllium has a much higher specific strength. I use titanium at work, we don't use special equipment for cutting it. Just quality equupment that we use on everything else.
Yuri Fyodorov you talk bs and there are countless amounts of different steel compositions basicly no matter what purpose you wanna use titanium steel is better the only good use of titanium is light parts catalists and corosion resistance + heat resistance and you can get extremley good corrosion resistance with steel alloys
@ lol dumbest thing iv ever read but ok i will stop talking with u about this topic cause you clearly dont know what you are talking about.. and also tankers know nothing about what material is good for armor they just use the machines they dont build it ;) and also thats why we all use titanium body armor xD lol you wont even find a titanium alloy witch is as strong as normal midrange hardox and i dont know of a single armored vehicle in the entire world witch uses titanium armor in russian plane and coppers you will find some or in bulletproof helmets and the reason is wheight not strenght... by the way im a metal processing technician

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.
Really informative video. I want to make my own body armour and at first I thought about to use steel but then I remembered titanium is far mor harder. Right I came up to this video and this make me decided to also use it as electrodes for my hydrogen generator instead of graphite. Thanks
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
A side note, the way titanium is normally cut is with high power water lathe that shoots combination of water and garnet. The garnet bits explode , making the cut. Really though, in terms of physics, it isn't being cut apart, rather blasted apart. I like your videos. I love all sciences, so now I have to watch all your videos. Do you have a video on Radon, by the way? The only radioactive noble gas...
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.
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.
Thoisoiz - Chemical Experiments! - Firstly, LOVE your channel! 😊 Secondly, please can you tell me what you mean by the difference of "Strongest" and "Hardest"? This video says "Strongest metal on Earth" but the next video in my recommendations is "Chromium 52 - the HARDEST metal on Earth" I know there's a small language difference but it's stíll a bit confusing 😕 😂
How can anyone bust this guy's balls or thumbs down? He makes an excellent and informative video every time. If you don't leave smarter you are in the wrong place or stupid beyond hope.
Toughest? No, but being light weight but tougher than aluminum is why its a awesome material. The toughest still goes to tungsten, chromium, or nickle depending on what you call tough. The reason how I know this is because I'm a CNC engineer that works in the development/manufacturing in Carbide tools. Titanium is more like a aluminum 2.0. Not many people use those other materials due to either material cost, machining cost, or other possible reasons. I edited the original comment because I nearly forgot about nickle.
sovietrepublic38 sort of is. Its not easy and very expensive. If a operator screws up a tool it can be as cheap as $.20 or as expensive as $2000 in material costs alone.
I'm a mechanical/process engineer who also is qualified as a master toolmaker. I use hardened D2 tool steel to manipulate titanium on a regular basis. A lot of this is cold forging of titanium. Titanium has the great characteristic of having "The weight of aluminum with the strength of steel". That's the way it used to be described way back when. Marketing has turned peoples perception of it it into being some "super alloy". Like you I know that using correct speeds and feeds carbide can cut through titanium like butter. Titanium = ~36 Hardness Rockwell C scale. C2 Carbide = 90 HRC. He's mostly demonstrating its work hardening characteristics. Most stainless grades strain harden just as bad. Inconel is another material that will cause you a lot of grief if you try to cut it to agressively with bad feed/speed practices.
Also since I'm part of R&D I have to work with a tolerance of 2µm or less while our operators have some parts of the blue prints within .0002" or less (depending on which tool). Chromium does exist in workable metal form (just extremely expensive).
Mark Robirds Our most common carbide we use is between C3 to C1 but we also use SiC and I nearly forgot about Incon. I hate that stuff but since we make tools that is used in the production of aerospace we have too. Thanks for clearing it up a bit more Ive only been in the field for about 5 years.
This is fraught with inaccuracies, Titanium (alloys) is not the strongest metal, nor is it the most durable, hardest, lightest (its only 40% lighter then steel not 50% and its 60% heavier then aluminum alloys), heaviest, or, most ductile. Additionally TiO2 is not inert in the body, it is in fact a carcinogen especially in a form which can be inhaled like powder. Ti alloys are however inert in the human body in certain forms and for certain applications. Titanium is very much the Liam Nesson of metals, it has a very particular set of skills. It's certainly not the adamantium, many people like to portray.
CARCINOGENIC EFFECTS: A4 (Not classifiable for human or animal.) by ACGIH, 3 (Not classifiable for human.) by IARC. MUTAGENIC EFFECTS: Mutagenic for mammalian somatic cells. TERATOGENIC EFFECTS: Not available. DEVELOPMENTAL TOXICITY: Not available. The substance may be toxic to lungs, upper respiratory tract. Repeated or prolonged exposure to the substance can produce target organs damage. Directly from TiO2 MSDS
Pretty much any inert material can be carcinogenic when you breathe it in as dust. The fine particles get trapped in your lungs and irritate and repeatedly damage the delicate lung tissue, which can eventually may lead to cancer. It has nothing to do with chemical activity, TiO2 is in pretty much any white pill you've ever taken, you can eat it just fine. It's kinda like saying water is toxic because when you breathe it in you drown.
6alecapristrudel Even the IARC recognizes TiO2 TOXICITY, because it can go unnoticed in the body when inhaled or ingested, it can lead to both brain and nerve damage. You are correct though about all inhaled particulate damaging lungs.
Thanks, I have a green silicon carbide wheel being made to use on Titanium. It has been over a month now but the sales rep says they are working on a special one for me. Looking forward to trying it out. Steve
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
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
So this is the reason why titanium is the main material in Subnautica...(by "main material" I mean the material that is used the most in the majority of all the craftable machineries) Anyways, putting trivial things aside, this video was truly informative and educative! Thank you for the knowledge about titanium :D
One fun titanium fact. In the 1960's the United States Air Force needed a new spy plane to replace the U-2 which had proven to be vulnerable to Soviet surface to air missiles. The SR-71 started out as an high speed, high flying interceptor but proved to be ill-suited for that roll. It was modified to become the spy plane to replace the SR-71. However the design required large amounts of titanium, a quantity that only the USSR could provide. The Air Force set up a cooperation to buy the metal from the Soviets as it was thought that the Soviets would not sell it directly to the Air Force. Every gram of titanium used to build the SR-71's was originally from the USSR.
In terms of tensile strength, tungsten is the strongest out of any natural metal (142,000 psi). But in terms of impact strength, tungsten is weak - it’s a brittle metal that’s known to shatter on impact. Titanium, on the other hand, has a tensile strength of 63,000 psi. Grade 4 Titanium is the most used.
Tungsten is also heavy as shit which would make it useless for all the applications he listed. Well except for the drill bits. I use titanium coated tungsten tooling. The titanium coating wets better than tungsten which keeps the hot chips from welding to the bit. It probable has something to do with that oxide layer he mentioned.
Ive worked with tungsten. Its around C20-C30 on the Rockwell scale for most alloys. Its somewhat brittle and behaves like ductile iron, but stronger. Some of the hardest are tool steels and carbides. On the mohs scale titanium is probably about 3 or so (relatively soft). Keep in mind the mohs scale is for minerals, and not usually used for metals.
I had a Materials Science professor who insisted that TiO2 output (or perhaps trade volume?) was the best indicator of macroeconomic health (because it ends up used in everything), though I don't know where you can look up the Titanium Dioxide Index.
Thanks for the video... Correct me if i'm wrong (please), but in defence Ti6AL4V is typically used is not very ductile on the contrary... Their capacity to absorb impact energy should be related to something else, right? I thought the kinetic energy of bullet has to be higher than the energy required to melt the portion of the metal, for the bullet to pass thought and for titanium this melting energy is quite high...

Use double sided sticky tape on your magnet. That how I was grinding non magnetic stainless steel.
That sounds like a good idea.
Steve
Thanks, I have a green silicon carbide wheel being made to use on Titanium. It has been over a month now but the sales rep says they are working on a special one for me. Looking forward to trying it out.
Steve
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
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
Your accent is THE BEST. Great video.
So this is the reason why titanium is the main material in Subnautica...(by "main material" I mean the material that is used the most in the majority of all the craftable machineries)
Anyways, putting trivial things aside, this video was truly informative and educative! Thank you for the knowledge about titanium :D
oh god thanks for the subtitles or i wouldn't understand what he said
This video is great. Can you add Vietnamese subtitles, I can't understand what you say
😂
You must develop yourself. :-)
titanium is an important metal.
Hay i got a good question about metal. You know if you bent copper back and forth enough it breaks, how many times will it take for titanium to break?
One fun titanium fact. In the 1960's the United States Air Force needed a new spy plane to replace the U-2 which had proven to be vulnerable to Soviet surface to air missiles. The SR-71 started out as an high speed, high flying interceptor but proved to be ill-suited for that roll. It was modified to become the spy plane to replace the SR-71. However the design required large amounts of titanium, a quantity that only the USSR could provide.
The Air Force set up a cooperation to buy the metal from the Soviets as it was thought that the Soviets would not sell it directly to the Air Force.
Every gram of titanium used to build the SR-71's was originally from the USSR.
2:37 I took a SHIT of ...
what, don't you have toilet paper made of aluminum, steel and titanium...? o.o
I'm taking a shit right now lol
Damn that's so dank
I love how he says "the" as "ze" 😂
Love that accent

Your channel is awesome. You make metals fun!
"i assure you that everyone in the video has a weapon permit" Was not a concern but, thanks for having them anyway.
Now I want to make a sword with titanium it would be feather light XD
"... for example my UA-cam button".
Weird flex but ok

In terms of tensile strength, tungsten is the strongest out of any natural metal (142,000 psi). But in terms of impact strength, tungsten is weak - it’s a brittle metal that’s known to shatter on impact. Titanium, on the other hand, has a tensile strength of 63,000 psi. Grade 4 Titanium is the most used.
I m brazilian, please continue with legends.
Isnt tungsten the most durable metal? Its hardness is 7,5 (mohs scale), while Titanium has only 6.
HVandstuff86 hardness and toughness are different. Tungsten is more brittle
Alright, thanks for explanation.
Tungsten is also heavy as shit which would make it useless for all the applications he listed. Well except for the drill bits. I use titanium coated tungsten tooling. The titanium coating wets better than tungsten which keeps the hot chips from welding to the bit. It probable has something to do with that oxide layer he mentioned.
Ive worked with tungsten. Its around C20-C30 on the Rockwell scale for most alloys. Its somewhat brittle and behaves like ductile iron, but stronger. Some of the hardest are tool steels and carbides. On the mohs scale titanium is probably about 3 or so (relatively soft). Keep in mind the mohs scale is for minerals, and not usually used for metals.
There are steel alloys that wins titanium on everythiing
'it will have the same strench'
I love your accent.
Maung Cassim 😂
He is from Russia
Муравьиное ТВ so he drank some vodka before the video
Love your videos man keep it up
Tungsten is the strongest actually. 142,000 PSI. With all the tensile strength.
I love the Half Life 2 sound effects at the beginning of your videos lol
I laughed My ass off when he said titanium
So I was brushing teeth with titanium all the time?
Kun Shun yeah it's in a shit ton of candies too, they add it for gloss
I had a Materials Science professor who insisted that TiO2 output (or perhaps trade volume?) was the best indicator of macroeconomic health (because it ends up used in everything), though I don't know where you can look up the Titanium Dioxide Index.
Thanks my friend now i know every metal has its weakness...
Title: Titanium is the strongest metal.
Tungsten: am i a joke to you?!
Shit u beat me to it
@ hahah yeah I know!
Titanium is strong and light while tungsten is strong and heavy
Nope, dropping a tungsten ring can crack or break it. Whereas when you drop a titanium ring it doesn’t break.
On the misleading title: 'if titanium is so strong, how come I can cut a sheet of it with steel snipers?"
"Titanium the strongest metal"
The thumbnail is showing something else....🤣
Another great educational video.
Thank you.
Thanks for the video... Correct me if i'm wrong (please), but in defence Ti6AL4V is typically used is not very ductile on the contrary... Their capacity to absorb impact energy should be related to something else, right? I thought the kinetic energy of bullet has to be higher than the energy required to melt the portion of the metal, for the bullet to pass thought and for titanium this melting energy is quite high...
