Sometimes we encounter this kind of problem, how to distinguish between titanium rods and stainless steel rods that are relatively long?
It is very challenging to tell apart from looks. I advise everyone to use a fairly straightforward technique called polishing, which can be recognized by sparks.
In fact, there are other simple ways to distinguish between stainless steel and titanium alloy:
1) From the color point of view. Titanium appears dark and steel appears white.
2) Soak it with nitric acid, you will find that titanium does not react, and stainless steel will react strongly once it is put down.
3) The density of titanium is 4.51, which is light in weight, while stainless steel is heavy. It is easy to distinguish it after careful weighing. This should be the biggest difference.
4) Titanium can draw gray-black marks on ceramic tiles, but stainless steel cannot draw marks.
The above is a simple and easy-to-operate method to distinguish between stainless steel rods and titanium rods. As a professional titanium rods supplier, Shaanxi Etermetal Co., Ltd. can provide you with a lot of knowledge about titanium products, welcome to consult!
