Titanium Metal Sheeting: Hard Stainless

Treated metal is made in a Chemical Bath. Tongs are recommended too, to get the treated metal out of the bath.

This is a very easy treatment. Here is a basic recipe:

• 100 Titanium
• 2 Lime to increase strength and lower corrosion
• 1 Coal to increase strength further, will also unfortunately increase corrosion back
• 2 Cactus Sap to peak strength to Hard, will also lower corrosion
• 1 Gravel to lower corrosion, will lower strength a little
• 2 Potash to push corrosion down to Stainless, will hardly affect strength

First add 100 Titanium to the bath. Then run 10s each for the ingredients above, like this:

• Lime 20s
• Coal 10s
• Cactus Sap 20s
• Gravel 10s
• Potash 20s

Different Chemical Baths behave slightly different, but the basic idea above still applies. Here is how to modify the recipe:

• If, after applying the Cactus Sap, strength is not almost fully "Hard", it might drop too low when applying Gravel later. Increase Cactus Sap to 30s in that case.
• If 20s of Potash treatment is not enough to get "Stainless", add another 10s of Potash.
• It is possible to replace 1 unit/10 seconds of Potash with 1 unit/10 seconds of Arsenic directly after the Gravel.
• It is possible to skip Lime and instead increase the time using Coal or Cactus Sap to get the strength up, although very slowly in the beginning
• It might be possible to run first a lot of Cactus Sap, or Coal and then Cactus Sap, to peak strength and then a lot of Potash to push down corrosion, but Potash is expensive, and this has not been tested yet.

Sheetings take 2 units of treated metal and take 2 minutes to cool in a Forge upgraded with a pair of Pinch Rollers
