Titanium axles

[derbychip]

A cub scout dad has asked me to give them a hand setting up there car, they already bought titanium groved axles(I would of recommend stainless but) my question is do these bend just like the stainless? Cut "bending grove" and using goat boy bender bend?

From what I have seen, Titanium is not as hard as steel of any grade, and is a little more flexible. So it might spring back a little more when you try to bend it.

Pure titanium is brittle. So it might be some kind of blend. So yeah, I've got nothing.

I agree with 3phase. Titanium is brittle. If it's a titanium alloy that could be different.

That's what I'm afraid of, supposedly he purchased from "Derby monkey".... I don't want to have them break when I attempt to bend...

I have a titanium plate in my vest that I wear almost every day. It seems pretty flexible. I hope it doesn't turn out to be brittle against a bullet.

I know a few people with titanium plates in their head. Those plates are not brittle enpough.

Reminds me of cousin Eddy from Christmas Vacation. But if you remember what happens when you fire up the microwave around them... that's funny stuff.
