    I removed myself from the trash company I worked for as of 2 years ago

    I have heard if you hit it with a torch it turns really blue... if anyone can confirm this as it was just word of mouth from a semi reliable source.

    You semi reliable source just scored a point.

    Yes it turns blue.

    Also another poster said may have sold titanium as aluminum. There is no mistaking ti for aluminum.

    The best test IS the spark test. Titanium sparks extremely bright when compared to steel. Fast forward to 8m and 54s.
