[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1185481, member: 25383"] Titanium is not hard, but fairly though. Problem is that it will work harden, and while machining will setup some crazy harmonics. I've seen inserts literally turn to dust from the harmonics. Strength wise (without doing some digging) I'd put the strength per square inch is right there with 4140, but with a fraction of the weight. Many people quote that titanium is stronger than steel. Kind of a vague statement. Pound for pound it is, but in real world stuff it square inches of area. gary [/QUOTE]
