I remember a thread on this in one of the various forums I have hung in, maybe within the last couple of years. I can't find it quickly but recall that the responses were don't do it unless you know what's going on. (Or if you have to ask you don't know enough). The alloy, it's thermal treatment, the wall thickness, the radius of the mandrel, the radius of the dimple edges (and likely more) were mentioned.
Ti is a wonderful material but it can and does corrode, crack, dent and fail. Andy
