True or False: Titanium can be a challenging material that may easily dull or damage drill bits.

Titanium is known for its unique properties, including high strength-to-weight ratio, excellent corrosion resistance, and heat resistance. However, these same properties make machining titanium quite challenging. When drilling into titanium, the material tends to work-hardening, which means that as it is cut, the friction and heat cause it to strengthen and become harder at the cutting interface. This can lead to rapid dulling or damage of drill bits if the proper techniques and tools are not used.

Additionally, titanium has a tendency to produce heat during the drilling process, which can exacerbate wear on drill bits. High-speed steel bits can dull quickly in titanium, and specialized carbide bits are often recommended for improved durability and effective cutting. The combination of work-hardening and heat generation presents difficulties that can easily lead to drill bit damage, confirming that titanium can be challenging to work with in terms of machining. Thus, the statement is true.
