Is there an easy test to tell if a part is titanium?

See if a magnet sticks to it. It won't if Ti.

It won't stick to AL either. Post a pic of it.

Aluminum looks different than Ti. Ti looks darker. What we are calling Ti is actually mostly aluminum anyways, but it is a little dingier in appearance. If you have aluminum you probably would know it just by the way it appears.
