@fcguy7 Thats not what i meant, this is one of the simpler processes toward making titanium. However this method contaminates the Ti really bad. But I see what you mean with the sparks. I couldnt tell just by looking, it just looks like the titanium and impurities may have alloyed or reacted otherwise, making the sparks a different color. I guess the objective here was to explore the science, rather than giving a solution to someone who wants a lot of Ti.

@MrDimebagdarell Do explain because it seems like your trying to tell me that the hyper expensive titanium refining process is unnecessary. Also, titanium sparks from grinding are white. In this video it appears yellow. I know videos can mislead on colors but everything to iron ... not Ti

@fcguy7 This is a simple redux reaction, reducing the Titanium dioxide (white paste) to titanium.

to me this does not look like Ti at all ... it looks like a reaction of termite and resulting iron

titanium is used in most commercial aircraft these days. Not to mention it makes one hell of an exhaust for cars ;)

@lamboroghini lol....last

@Breathor im pretty sure that he is hammering it to remove the peices or pottery attached to it. and you cannot "hammer" out the impurities. he just used aluminum to reduce titanium dioxide to make titanium metal. its just like a thermite reaction. but there is no practical use for the titanium metal that he produces.

@1crazyfocker exactly.....
