My father in law once set a piece of titanium on fire that he was
machining in a lathe.


Sure it wasn't Magnesium? Titanium would be a real chore to turn in a
reg'lar lathe, for sure.


Yeah, I'm sure. He was working as a millwright in a pulp mill and they
used titanium for a lot of fittings because it had better resistance
than any other metal to the highly corrosive chemicals used in the mill.
