 600 word limit to outline refinement process titanium, treatment of its alloys and the uses of its alloys. i've currently just basically blocked out my main points and its 300 words, 150 of which are just the fact that the USSR sold titanium to the US under the impression that it'd be used for pizza ovens

 really interesting reading abt hard titanium is to work with when they’re building SR-71s. 

machina labs modern approach to titanium is really cool too.
