Why wouldn't it be, and what would you use it for? Here's a whole bunch of hits from google for places to buy it (and titanium dioxide, and other stuff). |

It's a flammable metal much like magnesium. But it is alot more flammable i belive. I've heard of static setting it up. Many finely divided metals will do that. Aluminum under a certain mesh is controlled like an explosive..... aluminum powder is a key component in explosives or used as a flash powder. A poster above mentioned Titanium dioxide- this is a white pigment either rutile or anatase and unless your making paint or using it as a "filler" in pharmaceuticals I dont think you would find any practical use for it. |

I've heard of static setting it up. negative, I worked in a machine shop, we took powdered tungsten and made a lot of things. then ran it into a 4000 degree oven to sinter it. the only thing we worried about was the hydrogen gas that fired the sintering oven. |

Tungsten and Titanium are two different things. I think ti is what gives the flash in .50 spotter rounds. Tungsten is what my TIG electrode is alloyed with. Gets pretty hot.  |
