Russian made ti valves

Another interesting story is how nasa spent major bucks to find a pen that would write in the zero gravity of space,the Russian solution -send a pencil.

Good story, but not true. First, nasa didn't spend anything, Fisher developed the pressurized "space pen" on their own and gave them to nasa for the free advertising. Second, pencils aren't the perfect answer because what do you do with the dust and shavings when you have to sharpen one in space? How do you catch it all so they don't cause problems? Not insurmountable, but often ignored when repeating the story .

When D.A.R.Y.L. borrowed the SR-71 (made from Russian Titanium -- see the connection?) he used chewing gum to block the in-cabin camera. Chewing gum can also be used to cover the opening on the pencil sharpener.

you use a mechanical pencil no sharpener needed.

Two jokes on the Soviet goods quality.

A Chinese man used a hand grenade as a nut cracker for 25 years. Fortunately, the hand grenade was made in Soviet Union.

Before we get all 'high and mighty', just look around at our crumbling infrastructure ...
Roads, bridges, buildings ... and our social institutions.
We just finished a crushing election cycle, and look what we wound up with ...

Looks like the Russians are going to be our new BFF ...

Don't like my political comments?
Don't blame me, someone else opened the door here.
I prefer to discuss 'Speed Talk' issues, there are forums on this Board where politics are OK.

If you think Russia is a better place to live, have at it.

Russia has been ass backwards for centuries. The only technology they have was either stolen from US, or WE gave it to them through turds like FDR, TRUMAN and the joker known as Eisenhower.

Russia can't feed itself, even though it has some on the best agricultural land on the planet. It can't produce even the most menial of devices for the population to this day.

Facts hurt. But they are still facts.

Russia invented the AK-47 which is regarded as the best gun ever invented and has been kicking our asses since the Vietnam war. The Mig-15 was also regarded as the best fighter aircraft in the late 40's. They beat us into space.

Of course now China is kicking every one's asses with an annual growth rate over 10% a year. Hopefully Trump can get some of our jobs and industry back from them.

X-Ti LLC manufactures valves from mil-spec certified titanium alloys used in the aerospace industry, and also from special heatproof titanium alloys which we employ for especially severe valve operating conditions.

X-Ti LLC technology enables us to produce titanium valves from a single blank without resorting to weld joints. Thanks to this we obtain the optimum structure of metal in the valve and this gives us an advantage over other manufacturers.

X-Ti LLC utilises PVD and CVD coatings as well as a traditional CRN and also new coatings which possess unique properties that are specially developed for titanium valves.

We produce titanium valves to any specification according to our clients’ requirements and ensure complete confidentiality.

The use of advanced technologies, high-precision equipment and modern control methods as well as X-Ti LLC’s unique experience of working with titanium alloys and our business ties with the leading research institutes result in the high quality and reliability of the valves we manufacture.

I don't think Russia is a better place to live, I want to make sure we don't become them.

But the guy who just conned his way into the white house, who promised to "Make us Great Again"
and his GOP buddies are moving quickly to make us Just as Great as Russia is now, by turning us into exactly the same thing.

So yes, facts DO hurt.
Wake up, I suggest that you look around, and maybe see them for yourself.
Or maybe it's YOU that thinks Russia is better, and we ought to become like them?

BTW, if you are looking to place some blame, add Fred Koch to your list, Russia is where he made his fortune.

When I visited Moscow it did not inspire me to live there but I met many extremely intelligent and warm-hearted people.

I was there for a conference on Soviet information warfare techniques. It is very evident they have not lost their touch.

Germans got there first.

The post said 'best gun', not 'first assault rifle'.
AK-47 is crude and unsophisticated.
It's also brutally effective, even in the worst conditions, and will deliver lethality to your enemy, while they are busy trying to keep their weapons working.

The best vacuum tubes currently manufactured come from former soviet bloc countries. I don't think I'd buy an intake valve from them though.

I hope we as a race can stop measuring the worth of a nation by how many brilliant weapons of war they create or invent. We can certainly say that at one time the Russians defeated more sophisticated weapons of war and warfare that the Germans threw at them in WWII. The only problem in their success at doing that was they had sacrifice about 20 MILLION of their men killed to achieve the goal!
In my opinion way to big of a price to pay to prove the point of how successful the Russian war machine has been! Lets hope they can build and provide us with better TI valves and less Kalashnikovs!
