Its not just aluminum either. Many powedered metals can do this too. And once it starts, theres no good way to extinguish it. You basically have to let it burn out.

Im personalty familiar with the effects of titanium

Very true, I've machined titanium before and a titanium fire is not fun. Its a lot more flammable than aluminum as you can ignite larger chips and ribbons of titanium.

Edit for: words are hard
