Titanium - Chlorine fires are even more magnificent than titanium-oxygen fires. Wet chlorine (>150ppm water) is too corrosive for ferrous metals and titanium is often used for pipes carrying wet chlorine. If something happens that ignites one of these pipelines there’s absolutely no way to put it out - it has the fuel (titanium) and oxidizer (chlorine) and burns mega-hot until one of them is fully consumed along the entire length of the pipeline. The pipelines can sometimes be shockingly long (1 mile-ish). |
