While were on the subject, I've heard that Titanium has it's own set

of

problems in different environments.
Can't for the life of me think what this might be - any

suggestions in

relation to engine parts ?

Don't clean titanium parts in carbon tetrachloride or you will regret

it.

Interesting.  What's the deal?

Nothing specific Bill, just trying to widen my knowledge and wondering why,
it hasn't been used much in engines.
BTW, I visited my engineer mate today as I had a brain storm for an engine,
he had a look at what I drew up and chopped it to piecs, so I took the
opportunity
to tell him to get a move on with his design.
You would have to understand his position to appreciate he has a lot on his
plate.

He's also paranoid that someone will kill him for his design- no kidding !
He won't put out parts to be made for fear someone will steal his ideas -
it goes on and on. However I do believe he has something, I just hope he
doesn't take it to the grave.
I told him "you can't live forever" he reckons it's all right for me to say
that,
but it's him that gunna get killed for his invention.
Although we have this banter as a bit of a joke, he is still quit serious
about things.
He tells me now MARCH - we will see, yet again !
