Could you electroplate titanium onto a magnet?

What I wonder is why we can’t keep going with this process until there’s a sufficient coat of that alone. Too slow? Too uneven? Can’t build up multiple layers?

Again, high temps… but also it’s not a hermetic seal. The particles do not bond together well at the atomic level, they just mash together, but that does not keep water out and bodily fluids will eventually attack it. This is exactly what we tried with the m31… check the video about “DT isn’t doing magnets anymore”… I cover a lot in there… and rest assured I spent tens of thousands of dollars working on magnet designs and coatings that all failed.

That’s not to say that more research shouldn’t be done. Titan is discontinued because of the expensive process to make it. Nearly all of the suppliers involved raised prices considerably to the point I couldn’t see making another batch… so research needs to continue.

I assume the hermetic seal argument is the same here?
