Titanium Damascus is introduced
The timascus is made by placing these two different alloys of titanium into a metal box, filling the enclosure with inert gas and
applying both heat and pressure to have the two alloys to forge laminated together. hen coloring, the current formulation seems to
show more contrast using heat rather than anodizing. All current safe coloring techniques can be applied to Timascus. Future alloy
combinations will have different color profiles. (It is only meant for knife furniture as titanium does not form carbides and
doesn't harden enough for a sound blade.)
working Timascus is essentially the same as any other titanium alloy except when milling. The blended types of titanium have
different hardnesses sandwiched throughout the barstock. The varying hard and soft areas can cause wear on the cutting edges of
tools. Use round-cornered cutters as they hold up better under machining.
Timascus is a beautiful fusion of old world decorative techniques and modern metal-smithing.

Timascus can be dyed by heating and/or anodizing. Current alloy mixtures appear to show more contrast by heating than anodizing. Although anodization shows contrast in the higher voltage range. A highly polished finish will produce the brightest colors, as a satin finish can produce the most visually contrasting look.
