Thread 23142594

China sold me these titanium cans from real titanium for cheap. These products aren't even made in America? How can I support the Empire of Evil when they don't even make shit I want?

>>23142594 (OP)
no mini pc 2 yet?

How do you know they’re actually titanium?

>>23142596

Right. Most likely it is chinesium-plated rice flour.

>>23142594 (OP)
China just makes whatever globohomo wants, it’s shipped to globohomo country, new labels and stickers added for multiple tiers of price points: Walmart, higher end outdoor goods, then college boi tier premium possibly yeti.

>titanium cans
how'd you know that

>China sold me these titanium cans from real titanium
lol
lmfao

Ah yes, just like china sells real stainless steel that comes pre-rusted from the factory.

>>23142594 (OP)
Try bending it, or sit on it

That is just painted corn cobs

>>23142594 (OP)
Why do you even need titanium cans for? Are you some kind of terrorist?

>>23142596
grab a magnet
if it's there's 0 interaction we know it's not steel (or nickel, or cobalt)
grab file and file the material for a bit. Try to ignite the filings with butane torch. If it burns very brightly, it's most likely titanium
alternatively grab angle grinder and do pic related
as far as I know only magnesium and titanium make sparks like this when grinded but titanium is way stronger (and heavier)

>>23142604
he just wants to show off but he doesn't have any friends

>>23142604
He weighs 150kg so it's not like he's planning an ultralight hiking build

>>23142605
Titanium shavings are way harder than Magnesium to ignite, even though the fire might be harder to stop.

>>23142596
I have a stainless steel one to compare and the titanium one is lighter.

>>23142594 (OP)
Most likely substandard but will be highly subsidized by the ccp, enjoy while you can.

>>23142595
They refunded me and told me to come back in a month when they actually have it!

>>23142594 (OP)
Japan makes the best titanium products

Love me snowpeak (although they have been starting to outsource to china too, so fuck them. Old stuff still good though)

>>23142600
The weight is right and heat distribution is correct. Things have density you know?

>>23142605
still could be stainless steel if its not magnetic
he could also try to anodize it to see if it is titanium and what grade it might be too.

>>23142604
Higher melting point than steel :)

>>23142607
I'm down to 148 today and going down!

>>23142614
stainless usually is faintly magnetic, just enough to hold the weight of neodymium magnet
also induction kitchenware stainless steel is very magnetic or else it wouldn't heat trough induction

>>23142614
>titanium cans
If it's stainless steel it will be slightly magnetic especially around sharp corners where it's been forged

>>23142618
They sell both steel and titanium. You can just compare them. I trust tomshoo.

>>23142609

Doesn't mean it's titanium. Titanium is by weight like 500x more expensive than iron, even in China.

It's probably fake, like everything from China.

>>23142605

Stainless steel.
You could also determine the density pretty easily.
-- put pot of water on scale
-- zero it
-- tie thread to lid of box
-- suspend lid entirely in water
-- scale now reads mass of displaced water
-- this gives you volume of lid
-- etc
If you wind up with 4.5g/cc it's possibly titanium.

>>23142620
Oh, it was more expensive.

>>23142594 (OP)
china stronk, no smol peepee!

>>23142617
>>23142618
ok fair enough, lets get op to anodize this thing and see if it will get to green at around 90vdc
then we will know for sure if its titanium, and maybe the grade

>>23142624
Do you know how expensive this can was? I'd have to kake a youtube video about it to get even after damaging it.

>>23142627
How much is it in your cunt?

>>23142625
if its titanium, putting it in some water with borax in it and running a bit of dc voltage through it wont hurt it at all.
it will just turn it nice colors

>>23142629

This. You can also just take a blow torch to it and it will change colours too.
If it doesn't then it's not titanium.

>>23142594 (OP)
i wouldnt put anything in that holy shit thats going to make your teeth fall out
