Titanium is a metalic element on it's own. It has nothing to do with steel, which is based on the element iron. Like most metals, there are many alloys based on titanium that are more suitable for most purposes than pure titanium.

Can you have a gold titanium alloy?

Well Titanium is harder than steel and can be alloyed with different metals. Gold and Titanium can be alloyed together in various percentage. There is a brittle alloy of Gold and Titanium with 90% Gold and 10% Titanium. This alloy is used in dentistry, as this is really hard alloy of Titanium and Gold. This is shown in movies very easy to make, but it isn't. Well in Movies everything is possible... That's why they are called Movies.


Ring that has 316L TMA and China on it What does this mean?

316L refers to the metal of the ring. That is a grade of stainless steel. L Stands for max .03% Carbon. TMA stands for: Titanium Molybdenum Alloy. It looks to me that the ring is made of 316L (stainless steel) coated with TMA (Titanium Alloy) and is made in China.

Is a steel alloy a compound?

Steel is an alloy of Iron which usually contains carbon and smaller quantities of other metals such as chromium or molbdenum, depending on the particular steel alloy. Steel is an alloy, which is essentially a mixture.

Is titanium the hardest or is stainless steel the hardest?

Titanium is usually an alloy just like aluminum. It is impossible to harden a titanium alloy beyond Rockwell C in the mid 40s. Most knives are also alloys of steel. Usually stainless steel and heat treated to a hardness of high 50s to low 60s. But a sword needs to treated to the low 50s because of the shock they will receive from a strike. The answer is to use a titanium alloy coating over steel to give hardness while limiting brittleness. Titanium alloys such as titanium-carbide, titanium-nitride or titanium-carbo-nitride (black coating) can be used. An example would be the gold drill bits. They are usually titanium alloy or more commonly a tungsten alloy. These alloys can reach a hardness of Rockwell C 85, but when used as a coating, it merely allows the blade to hold an edge and does not strengthen the overall structure. Although a full titanium alloy blade would be possible, it must consist of a softer inner core. This would not strenghthen the blade but would reduce weight.
