They are titanium so I doubt they'll be less money but they'll probably last for years.Originally Posted by Jipes
Too bad titanium rusts so quickly.

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
Titanium rusts ?!? Please tell me more, it's the first time I hear that.Originally Posted by Spudman
Titanium does not rust as it contains virtually no iron and is not subject to oxidation, (which is what rust is... iron oxide).
Titanium also does not tarnish or corrode... also non ferrous, non-magnetic.

Mild Steel

Order of metal/alloy that corrode the fastest.Top is fastest.
Although one of the softest alloy it is stain free,stronger,lighter than regular stainless steel. Can handle over 800 degrees for those who are so fast they set the strings on fire or pull a Jimi:
I wouldnt say spuds is wrong,maybe mistaken which we all make mistakes fo-sho.
This caught my eys also any opinions??B.S. or legit.
"Enhancing the inherent string quality and freshness is Ernie Ball's new string packaging - the company's first new string packaging concept in more than 45 years. Produced and now hermetically sealed into their packages at Ernie Ball's desert headquarters in Coachella, CA, the Slinky Acoustic strings are exposed to minimal moisture and humidity from factory to retailer - ensuring that all strings are as fresh upon opening as they were the day they were made."

That's what I thought too, but I've already been wrong once in my life so I'm willing to doubt...Originally Posted by Rocket
So Mud, what does corrosion on titanium look like?
In most cases it is rust resistant, but some alloys will rust. It depends on what metal is mixed in with it. So the statement of titanium doesn't rust is true, but if mixed with other metals the probability increases. Since we are talking guitar strings, I would doubt (but not positive) that they are pure titanium.

* Loud is good, good is better!
Corrosion shown happened when an aerospace alloy (titanium - 6 aluminum - 4 vanadium) was used instead of a more corrosion-resistant grade of titanium.
I've been in the aerospace business for 26 years (yes, I started when I was 10) things like this is why I remain to have a fear of flying. Plus I've seen what goes on at large assembly sites for commercial jets - take the train.Originally Posted by Rocket

Thanks MudMan. Heh-heh... Rockette said same thing about my front!Originally Posted by mrmudcat
I'll be off again in couple weeks. Enjoy the turmoil!
I'm impressed... Did that part break from the corrosion (missing section of outer disk) or is the corrosion visible in the ''inner", unbroken ring?
It may have a bushing in it and that could be the point where the corrosion started.Originally Posted by spt

Thanks Strum. I guess I'm trying to find what titanium corrosion looks like...
Titanium corrosion looks very similar to aluminum corrosion.
