Titanium material in barrel
Not sure if this has been posted but F1 has a "coming soon" barrel that uses titanium in the process. I've never heard of this and am curious of opinions. I figured this was a appropriate WEVO topic.

Using the F-1 Firearms state-of-the-art barrel cell, blanks are drilled, reamed and button rifled in-house to ensure quality, straightness of the boreline, and QA/QC. The blanks are then contoured in house and sent to our partner who applies a patented Cold Spray Titanium to the OD of the 416RSS pencil barrel. The Titanium is actually metallurgically bonded to the 4164SS. The Barrels are brought back in-house and contoured to the F-1 Firearms Med Contour standard yielding up to 45% in weight reduction while maintaining a full-auto rating.

The "OD" is a clue...

I was just thinking to myself the other day, "I wish there was a more expensive way to make barrels"

It's likely a dynamic gas deposition spray so it's basically a surface treatment. Think shooting metal so hard at another metal it bonds. That description of their process makes no sense at all. Says they profile it twice for instance. And it would make no sense to apply a surface treatment just the machine it off. If they expect me to believe it's affecting the parent metal deep enough to cut a standard profile down to a pencil after application I'd like to see the proof. i won't hold my breath waiting.

It sounds like a really pathetically worded way of saying "We wrap a steel liner in Ti for weight reduction".
Think aluminum .22 barrels from Tac
Think CF wrapped barrels from PROOF
This sounds like "Ti sleeved" to me.
Might be wrong though.

Ha...ha..ha..ha.. I ask myself that question about a lot of gun stuff. To feed the insatiable desire of gun people, and lacking any real improvement over existing products, how do the aftermarket folks come up with something obscure, is this weeks hot topic, yesterday's news, and cost 50% more than the product they are replacing.

Chrome lining is used for increased bore hardness, and therefore a longer lasting barrel.
