The question starts off under the assumption that Titanium is hard which is incorrect. Titanium is not very hard as far as metals are concerned, it has about the same hardness as Stainless Steel. Titanium is not regarded for its hardness but rather its light weight, tensile strength, and non corrosive properties.
I believe you may have Titanium confused with Tungsten Carbide which is an extremely hard and heavy metal. Tungsten is generally considered scratch proof; additionally the only naturally occurring element that is harder then Tungsten is Diamond.

∙ 10y agotitanium has the highest strength to weight ratio of all metals. the feed rate of a milling machine for aluminum or steal, and the thickness of chips will be approximately equal. titanium due to its strength will have chips about half as thick as the feed rate. another reason titanium is difficult to machine is as the tool cuts it generates significantly more heat than aluminum or steel and this heat will heat treat the titanium making it much harder than carbide cutting tools resulting in breakage of the tool.

What is a titanium ingot?
Titanium ingot is kind of a hard steel produced by different countries and exported and imported.
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.
Is titanium soft or hard?
In annealed condition, the hardness will be similar to stainless steel.
When titanium is burning can it be put out?
Titanium will burn if it is heated to a high enough temperature in air, You need a higher temperature than a match or candle flame, it also helps of the surface area to volume ratio is high, e.g. if you are setting fire to thin strips or swarf. The Oxygen and Nitrogen will then react with the Titanium which leaves behind a very hard Titanium Nitride or Titanium Oxide. It is difficult to extingush Titanium which is already on fire, CO2, water and foam will only feed it with more oxygen. It also burns with a very high temperature (sometimes it is used in fireworks). To melt titanium, you have to put it into a chamber where you can extract all of the Nitrogen and Oxygen (often back filling with some non-reactive Argon gas).
How is titanium powder cast into titanium objects?
I assume that the titanium powder you are talking about is when it is in its natural form; called rutile. It is then sent through a process where it is combined with chlorine to form TiCl4. Then, Mag. is used to isolate the titanium to one side of a cell, leaving a hard, moon rock like crust. It is then chopped down and melted to the customers specs.
