Thermal Expansion in Titanium: An "Illuminating" Demonstration Media

In our pursuit to put more content out there and get back to the basics of why we do what we do, we thought it would be fun to show the expansion and contraction of 6AL4V (Grade 5) titanium. This demonstration shows titanium expanding to complete a very simple circuit with an LED. The thermal expansion and contraction of materials plays a large role in setting "tolerances". This video will lead into another video where we revisit tolerances and break down what they are and how they apply to knives.
