There's an untold story: the use (or non-use) of titanium in WW2. In 1941 Leonard Bessemer Pfeil in the UK developed Nimonic, a Ni-Cr-Co-Al-Ti alloy with about 2-3% Ti content. Pfeil's invention was made for the high-temperature rotors in the early Whittle turbojets and thanks to it, British jets had a far longer life than the German ones. Well done Leonard!

Titanium has become associated with strength,....which is not quite correct. Compared to aluminum, yes. But steel is stronger. Where titanium exceeds is #1.... Resistance to corrosion. It' used often where acid and other corrosives are used, and #2...It's lighter than steel. In the case of the X-15 even titanium was not enough. They had to use steel, with super-alloy Inconel (nickle-chromium) used for glowing-red-hot wing and fin leading edges and the nose where steel would get too soft and weak from the heat.

I have actually touched an SR71 at Duxford museum and met one of the pilots who did a talk about the aircraft. All I can say is it’s unlike any aircraft I’ve ever seen. Truly like something out of science fiction.

I will bet that in my warehouse I have some Titanium that came from the SR 71. My friend, Andy Carter and I were building a Flying Dutchman sail boat for the 1968 Olympic Trials... We made Titanium fittings from scraps bought at Burbank Metals... near the Skunkworks where SR-71 was made... We learned how to machine, and spot weld, and form Titamium... 6AL V ...6% Aluminum, Vanadium a d Titanium...made very springy tough material. that December 22, 1964 The original Blackbird was designated the A-12 and made its first flight on April 30, 1962. The single-seat A-12 soon evolved into the larger SR-71, which added a second seat for a Reconnaissance Systems Officer and carried more fuel than the A-12. The SR-71's first flight was on December 22, 1964. I

Everything has to be properly managed. Maybe it was tricky back then, when they worked on the SR-71 and this is why it's so easy to work with titanium nowadays.

I don't quite understand the forging part. Do you mean to get the Titanium into it's final form? I see people on YT forging Titanium all the time. Can someone explain the difference between what was going on back then be it state of Titanium, step in the process, etc, vs now?
Aaron Washburn

Hand forging knives and trinkets is a lot different than safety critical industrial components. Sure, you can heat up and hammer a piece of titanium into a rough shape by hand. But many aerospace components are going to require tight dimensional tolerances, grain structure requirements, and NDE requirements that almost nobody’s hand shaped parts would pass.

if you ever want a chemist to proof your script or animations (you write "valadium" instead of "vanadium" at one point, refer to oxygen molecules instead of atoms, and show individual oxygen atoms, rather than diatomic oxygen, causing oxidation. you also indicate that MgCl2 is distilled out from the final titanium, but titanium would be the distillate and MgCl2 the residue), let me know!

Why didn't us Americans just buy the titanium ore from Australia??? Wouldn't we rather give the money to a country that we are friendly with than the soviets??? that's like buying a used car from your friend who really needs the money or buying a used car from your enemy that might take your money and use it to destroy the car you bought from him later. but I guess money talks because maybe the Soviets prices were way cheaper on the or than Australia would be. That's the only other rational explanation for that purchase

4:15 so I'm so glad he cleared this up later at around 4 minutes and 25 seconds when he said if the Soviets knew what the Americans were using this titanium for they would have not wanted to give it to us. Because I was thinking to myself how the hell does that work??? Why would the Soviets sell us a material that's highly valuable and only used for High-Tech complex and amazing pieces of machinery when we were at great odds with these people at the time and had a terrible history with the Soviets? But I guess money talks right? 🤣🤣🤣
