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.

Actually, I worked on the airbus for quite a while, and I worked
quite a bit with titanium. Unfortunately not machining it in the
fashion I envisage necessary for building fishing reels!

Thanks for the info though.

I haven't done any machining for a long time and even at that it was only as
when needed and the engineers were too busy.

I found these sites if you haven't already got them.
