Re: Identifying titanium or stainless steel.
Acetone. You need to dissolve the plastic off, not scrub it off.
Titanium is grey in colour and usually matte.(difficult to get titanium shiny) Stainelss is silver. Cheers, carl |

Re: Identifying titanium or stainless steel.
If you have a scratch finish end can Id use scotch brite. The same stuff as for cleaning pans. I say that as my 97 blade came with a pad of it for that purpose. A stainless can is also normaly heavier than titanium.

Re: Identifying titanium or stainless steel.
place a magnet on the metal work and if it sticks it is not titanium, i think titanium is non-magnetic as this is how they used to test at wsb screening.

Re: Identifying titanium or stainless steel.
Ti is paramagnetic.
SS depends on what type of SS. |
