Excellent, thank you for that, it'll come in very useful indeed.

 

In the main golf club titanium is the same stuff but just re-melted
and therefore not certified as being suitable for aircraft engine
components.

 

So it's certified the right purity, and when re-melted anything could
have gotten in to it. So, in other words, it may be the same stuff, it
may not... depends. For aircraft, this would not be a good thing, as it
could only take only one little bolt to fail.

 

That's about it. We used to do a lot of work at a titanium plant and
one of their production engineers spent ages telling me where their
product ended up. It didn't take much to **** up the first melt which
in a way was a good thing for all the titanium fans out there because
they certainly didn't set out to produce anything but 'aircraft spec'
titanium and if it was all perfect then we'd never see it.
