Yes Phil, lots of experience cutting Titanium, Nickel, Cobalt, Chromium, Aircraft-Aluminum, Magnesium, Niobium, Molybdenum, Tool-steel, Stainless, etc.
Over in the Forge Shop, they would take scrap titanium and Forge some really fine 3-foot-long "Jimmy" or Pry-Bars for us to use in stacking billets and moving bars and rounds on the rolling-tables that fed the saws.
Titanium really puts out bright, white light from the sparks when cut with an abrasive saw, and it forms a tan oxide when removed from the furnace to cool.
Was wondering if you or anyone would know where might be a good source of titanium-scrap, that could be purchased by the general public?
I would really like to forge one of those light-weight jimmy-bars of my own some day.
