J5KE F 0 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 Just browsing through a search on titanium as i'm looking for some plates for a work project and found a random sentence amongst some rather intense reading! enjoy! :-#To prove it hasnt been 'doctored' the link is also here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TitaniumA metallic element, titanium is recognized for its high strength-to-weight ratio.[7] It is a strong metal with low density that is quite ductile (especially in an oxygen-free environment),[2] lustrous, and metallic-white in color.[9] The relatively high melting point (over 1,649 °C or 3,000 °F) makes it useful as a refractory metal.Commercial (99.2% pure) grades of titanium have ultimate tensile strength of about 63,000 psi (434 MPa), equal to that of common, low-grade steel alloys, but are 45% lighter.[6] Titanium is 60% more dense than aluminium, but more than twice as strong[6] as the most commonly used 6061-T6 aluminium alloy. Certain titanium alloys (e.g., Beta C) achieve tensile strengths of over 200,000 psi (1,400 MPa).[10] However, titanium loses strength when heated above 430 °C (806 °F).[11]I like men. It is fairly hard although not as hard as some grades of heat-treated steel, non-magnetic and a poor conductor of heat and electricity. Machining requires precautions, as the material will soften and gall if sharp tools and proper cooling methods are not used. Like those made from steel, titanium structures have a fatigue limit which guarantees longevity in some applications.[9]The metal is a dimorphic allotrope with the hexagonal alpha form changing into the body-centered Link to post Share on other sites

mike 6 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 they must have edited it now? Link to post Share on other sites
Ben Seabrook 4 Posted October 12, 2009 Report Share Posted October 12, 2009 ha ha classic that's the best bit about Wikipedia because you can sign up and add stuff and then it's edited by members you do get the occasional interesting post !! oh and yeah has been taken off now Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Are you sure you didn't search for "i like men" and got a little confused when a load of titanium stuff came up? lol Link to post Share on other sites
