To me the idea that these covers are not solid titanium makes no sense.
What's the point in just doing a Ti covering over an otherwise aluminium
cover? I would think that if the covers were Ti plated aluminium, the whole
strength and lightweight advantages of using Ti would be thrown right
overboard.
I have a 3Ti/4Ti folder in which they talk a bit about the titanium covers,
I would have to look it up to see what it says exactly, but I think they
wrote the covers are 100% Ti.
I'll see if I can find this out, and if so, I'll try to post the results to
the list. I'm deliberately writing "try to" as I'm about to change
jobs/cities/houses, so somewhere today or so I will most likely uns*bscribe
until I'm set-up again in my new environment...
Cheers!
