Why is titanium so exspensive?

Titanium is corrosion resistant, very strong and has a high melting point. It has a relatively low density (about 60% that of iron). It is also the tenth most commonly occurring element in the Earth's crust. That all means that titanium should be a really important metal for all sorts of engineering applications.In fact, it is very expensive and only used for rather specialised purposes.Titanium is used, for example:in the aerospace industry - for example in aircraft engines and air frames;for replacement hip joints;for pipes, etc, in the nuclear, oil and chemical industries where corrosion is likely to occur.Why is titanium so expensive?Titanium is very expensive because it is awkward to extract from its ores - for example, from rutile, TiO2.You can't use carbon reductionTitanium can't be extracted by reducing the ore using carbon as a cheap reducing agent. The problem is that titanium forms a carbide, TiC, if it is heated with carbon, so you don't get the pure metal that you need. The presence of the carbide makes the metal very brittle.That means that you have to use an alternative reducing agent. In the case of titanium, the reducing agent is either sodium or magnesium. Both of these would, of course, first have to be extracted from their ores by expensive processes.Other problemsThe titanium is produced by reacting titanium(IV) chloride, TiCl4 - NOT the oxide - with either sodium or magnesium. That means that you first have to convert the oxide into the chloride. That in turn means that you have the expense of the chlorine as well as the energy costs of the conversion.Titanium(IV) chloride reacts violently with water. Handling it therefore needs care.Traces of oxygen or nitrogen in the titanium tend to make the metal brittle. The reduction has to be carried out in an inert argon atmosphere rather than in air. That also adds to costs.High temperatures are needed in both stages of the reaction.Titanium is made by a batch process. In the production of iron, for example, there is a continuous flow through the Blast Furnace. Iron ore and coke and limestone are added to the top, and iron and slag removed from the bottom. This is a very efficient way of making something.With titanium, however, you make it one batch at a time. Titanium(IV) chloride is heated with sodium or magnesium to produce titanium. The titanium is then separated from the waste products, and an entirely new reaction is set up in the same reactor. This is a slow and inefficient way of doing things.Titanium extractionConversion of titanium(IV) oxide, TiO2, into titanium(IV) chloride, TiCl4The ore rutile (impure titanium(IV) oxide) is heated with chlorine and coke at a temperature of about 900°C.

Should a katana ordered online have oil on the blade when it arrives?

Blades have oil on them to protect from rusting. Rust is a reaction between the metal an oxygen in the air. I would fully expect the blade to have some amount of oil on it to protect it.

What do you use as a lubricant for hair clippers?

Short answer: 3-In-One Multi Purpose Oil. It's a light weight oil (low viscosity) that allows it to seep in between the blades and do the job. Make sure you get some on the back anvil area of the blades as well. Wherever there's metal to metal contact there must be lubricant to avoid premature wear and overheating. Blot up any excess with a paper towel. Do NOT use WD-40. It does not have the "staying power" to keep protecting the blades. It also does not have the same resistance to heat that 3-In-One has. Others have suggested cooking oil. I'm not sure about how well it would work, but it certainly has enough heat resistance to give it a try if you have nothing else. I just picked up a spray can of Slick50 lubricant at Ace Hardware. It's in a bright red can. I used it on an old computer cooling fan that was not spinning freely and it did an amazing job of fixing it. I will try it on my clippers next time I groom my dog and post an update. It is best to use the branded clipper oil that is designed for clippers. An important part of the work done by clipper oil is that it cleans out the small hairs that are very abrasive.
