    I have recently discovered that my boss has been grinding titaniun
    rings out at my bench, using my tools. 

    I have been getting a very large failure rate on my solder joints
    (50%) for the last few months, and despite the obvious going back to
    cleanliness standard, joint failures have continued. 

    During the last week, after discovering this,  I have used different
    tools that I now keep hidden and I have not had a single failure.  I
    have tried to talk to him about this and he says he doesn't see the
    conection or the danger!!!!  Please, has anyone else had any
    cross-contamination issues between gold and titanium???
