Titanium!!! Look!!!

[Odd Man Out]

I bet you thought you were going to see something wonderful right!?!?
Sorry to trick you here but in reality I would like to know if any of you have worked with or know anything about titanium.

How do you cut it? Anything special about it?

Is there anything special I should know about welding the stuff or is it a simple TIG operation?

Anything else you can share that would help someone thinking of building something out of this?

Remember, sharing is caring...

From what I know, welding TI needs a completely clean atmosphere. So you either need to fill the tubes with argon to get to the back of the welds, or work in a glove box.
