It's a medium hardness, so it's a lot easier to cut than stainless steel wire, and it's also more expensive. However, anodizing titanium wire in various colors is a neat feature.
I don't see why you couldn't use it for this; it doesn't contain any traces of nickel or other skin-irritating metals that I'm aware of, and I mostly use it for anodizing aluminum parts.
I'd say at least 100lb, but if you're going to do any repetitive bending back and forth, I'd go with a thicker gauge wire, which I'm currently using for anodizing.

The 5- When the Titanium wire did not perform as expected for some unknown reason, TEMCo's customer service responded quickly via email and offered a refund. To be honest, I'm still not sure if it was the wire or the application that caused the problem. I made a hypochlorous acid generator out of 304 stainless steel wire, which works well but adds a little iron to the solution. The Titanium wire, when used in the same design, corroded badly in less than 0. I tried switching polarity after 5 hours and found that one electrode turned blue while the other corroded. For a starting pH of 4, 1 gram sea salt was mixed with 500mL distilled water and a few drops of distilled white vinegar. I used 30V and 750mA for Titanium, and 1A and around 12V for Stainless Steel. I'm still not sure what caused the corrosion, but it wasn't what I had anticipated from Titanium. I'm now using 316 stainless wire instead of 304 stainless to see if it performs better. In any case, the wire didn't work for my application, but TEMCo's customer service is outstanding.
This titanium wire was used to anodize some small aluminum parts as well as a rifle receiver set. For a good connection, I sanded each strand with 180 grit sandpaper. The only major flaw I see is that the wire is annealed rather than springy, which is required for anodizing. I'm still pleased with the product's performance, and the wire hold shape was exactly what I needed for the small components I was working with.
When suspending parts in the battery acid bath when electrical current is applied, this wire works well with anodizing aluminum parts because it does not absorb excess dyes during the oxidizing process of the aluminum. It can also be used repeatedly, unlike other wire types.
The wire is of good quality, and it's exactly what I'm looking for when it comes to making rings. br>A friend recommended this vendor, and she was also pleased with the wire.
I use it to use sulfuric acid to anodize forged 7075 aluminum lower receivers. It really works.
I made jewelry out of the wire. It was a success. The process of annealing proved to be extremely beneficial.
DO NOT USE FOR VAPE MODS despite the fact that this is a good wire. I'm returning this wire and replacing it with thinner wire because it's too thick for vape mods. The highest resistance I could get this wire to was 0. 04 ohms is simply too difficult to work with.
A+++. I'm making a hypochlorous acid generator at home. I'm looking for non-alcoholic beverages. This was exactly what the project required in terms of reactive wiring. The tensile strength of this wire is incredible.
