I know particular countries are buying up all the Ti for military reasons, but why leave one part the same price and double the price of another?
Due to lack of available info and ignorant people I can't determine if it can be attributed to the alloy matrix or not.
Say the valves are chaeper because they ahve a mix of 6/4 AL/V and the locks are more pure with a 3/2.5 mix (just a guess at what alloy mix may be used) which would make them cost a wee bit more. But really, what the hell? Did (fake) oil prices effect the refinery of the Titanium, aluminum or vanadium (amoung the other tinny bits of metals that may make up the alloy like chromium, columbium, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum) that much last year for them to feel the need to double prices on particular parts as has been done?
WTF People just suck! (But don't always inhale as our former douche stated)
