What I know about metallurgy wouldn't fill a thimble, but...I was
reading a bike magazine about the making of titanium frames, and there
was mention of how the cuts in the drop-outs are made with a machine
that cuts titanium with water under lots of pressure (which would mean
hot water). Yes, I know it's being cut, not dissolved. Perhaps this
was what they were alluding to ?
