If its airframe grade, its probably a 6Al/4V (aluminum/vanadium)
mix, which I would think would be better than the "normal" 3/2.5
mix. BTW, I don't really know what I'm talking about... my
knowledge of titanium comes from the bicycle industry.

It is airframe grade. But there are various specs here, and I am not
sure about the stuff I have. In actual fact, the pieces I have are
waste bits from Airbus fuselage construction etc. It is extremely
tough, I already ruined one WC ( Tungsten carbide), and two ceramic
sineter cutters on it. Need tools with a different cutting angle etc.
I will get back to it after Christmas. Too busy with other things
right now.

Thanks for the input though, any and all info is welcome.

If you scroll down to Electron Beam Welding (EBW) there is a bit about
titanium used in the aircraft industry there and it mentions the Airbus.
