Message	From what I saw, Titanium needs to be heated to about 500 Celcius in order to reach its peak maleability point (depending on the alloy used). Five hundred Celcius is not that big of a deal, but the tricky part is that it needs to be heated in a Oxygen and Hydrogen-free atmosphere in order to prevent the material from absorbing it and becoming brittle. I'm screwed! =) George
