Titanium 6.6.2 is … Titanium 6.6.2 is used (6Al/6V/2Sn). It is composed of 86% titanium, 6% aluminum, 6% vanadium, 2% tin. This is practically the strongest titanium alloy on the market and is mainly used in the aerospace industry for its great strength and lightweight. Titanium 6.6.2 has a tensile strength of up to 180,000 psi and a Brinell hardness value of 389.
Commercial (99.2% … Commercial (99.2% pure) grades of titanium have ultimate tensile strength of about 63,000 psi (434 MPa)
Titanium 6.4 (6Al/4V). It is composed of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium. Titanium 6.4 was developed in the 1950’s and is known as aircraft grade titanium. Aircraft grade titanium has a tensile strength of up to 150,000 psi (pounds per square inch) and a Brinell hardness value of 330.
not pureest, pure … not pureest, pure titanium is softer than 6-6-2
there are 2different grade of titanium
1) 6-4 Aircraft grade titanium
2) 6-6-2 Aircraft grade titanium
“…traditionally a … “…traditionally a metal’s strength or “Toughness” refers to how soft it is, and therefore break-resistant. ” from my post.
Traditionally, in metallurgy, the term “tough” is used to describe softness, and therefore break resistance, malleability, ductility, the ability to resist metallurgical fatigue.
I guess by that same definition you could make the argument that Mercury is tough, but I’m sure that would just pass with a chuckle at best given that liquids are not usually ascribed toughness.
Oh and you should … Oh and you should never melt metal with out having at least a respirator on. The vapors put off in the smelting process cause swift and severe brain damage which can permanently damage your reasoning faculties. This happened to several of the old Alchemists due to a lack of good ventilation and an essential non-existence of respirator filters or masks which had their advent in a much later day.
Melting point … Melting point doesn’t really have anything to do with strength. Zinc, which is significantly harder and tougher than Gold, has a melting point of 787° F whereas Gold has a melting point of 1947° F. Zinc actually volatilizes (boils and burns off) at 1665° F before it even reaches the melting point of Gold.
And traditionally a metal’s strength or “Toughness” refers to how soft it is, and therefore break-resistant.
Gold and Lead being supremely tough, as they are very ductile/soft/workable.

Titanium does not bend like the first ring did…… it wasnt pure Titanium!
I want to see a pure Tungsten ring put through this kind of punishment!
