Suitability of Ti for 300 BLK Suppressor Tube

[agBQ08]

Ok, so on a separate thread on the main Silencer Talk forum the question came up about baffle erosion/metal strength/etc. Someone proposed using a Ti suppressor rater for 300 Win Mag for a SBR since it would theoretically be more robust. Ti was not recommended due to increased erosion from semi-auto fire. I then asked if a Ti tube would be affected greatly by heat and wear. Answer is below from JasonAAC. My question is: would the Liberty Mystic, with SS baffles and a Ti tube be fine for 300 BLK even over a couple of mag dumps due to the cartridge not producing brutal pressure and heat or am I better off with a completely SS suppressor?

The erosion would affect the baffles not the tube. That said, Ti loses a lot of it's strength between around 900 degrees. It's weaker than aluminum at that point. For general use, shoot slowly with Ti-anything.

Also, not saying it'll melt away, but as a civilian and the hoops/waiting you've got to go through, it'd suck to wear out a can fast.

According to Liberty, it IS rated for the 300 BLK.

It's on this page in the right margin. http://www.libertycans.net/mystic.html

Wow, can't believe I missed that. Thanks.

I bet you'll be fine with 300 BLK

Thanks Jason. Didn't want to hijack the thread over there anymore than it already was. This can die now.

Ti can be fine. It depends on how it is made and the alloy.
