Agreed. The original paper states that they have a technique to remove oxygen from the surface of titanium. If that is the case, grinding could be viable. How hard is it to grind titanium?

…Very hard. It’s titanium. Every work process has to be done with special carbide bits, at half speed, underwater.
Tungsten carbide isn’t it?
I think the titanium on the outside in the slag is the easy part, and not included in the 1% figure, which is on the inside.
