Field experience consistently demonstrates that copper-titanium performs worse than both aluminum bronze and beryllium copper in non-sparking applications. Aluminum bronze tools, despite being older technology, continue functioning reliably years after copper-titanium tools have failed. Beryllium copper offers superior strength and durability without the brittleness problems plaguing copper-titanium. The actual performance gap between copper-titanium and established alloys contradicts marketing claims of revolutionary advancement. Industry professionals recommend avoiding copper-titanium in favor of proven aluminum bronze or beryllium copper alternatives.

There’s no magic in tech anymore. It’s mostly syncing data and cleaning up messes.
