Must be aluminum or mild steel because it seems to spread like butter. If that was titanium you'd see the tiny grains of ti in aluminum viking helmets attacking the cutter with vanadium swords and axes until it just gave out. Looks kinda like this.

At least that's what I remember from my metallurgy books.
