Earlier there was a mention about the affects of chlorinated solvents and
chlorine on titanium. Someone said that depending on the alloy used, there
might not be a detrimental affect. I read on a website (www.titanium.com)
that methanol has a strange affect on this metal but not necessarily one that
is harmful. Does anyone know what alloys are used for valves, retainers, lug
studs and such? I do know 6AL4V is the alloy used for connecting rods and
does anyone know what affect chlorinated solvents or methanol have on this
alloy? I have a love affair with this metal and I'm trying to learn more
about it, unfortunately my browser has been out for three weeks now.
