In practice a uniform distribution of the working stress cannot be achieved, but it may be approached by various methods of constmction such as compound shrinkage, tape winding, and autofrettage which have their origin in the design of ordnance. 

In consumer appHcations, titanium is used in golf club heads, jewelry, eyeglass frames, and watches. The Japanese have promoted the use of titanium in roofing and monuments. Other appHcation areas include nuclear-waste storage canisters, pacemaker castings, medical implants, high performance automotive appHcations, and ordnance armor. 

The heat peUet used for activation in these batteries is usually a mixture of a reactive metal such as iron or zirconium [7440-67-7] and an oxidant such as potassium perchlorate [7778-74-7]. An electrical or mechanical signal ignites a primer which then ignites the heat peUet which melts the electrolyte. Sufficient heat is given off by the high current to sustain the necessary temperature during the lifetime of the appHcation. Many millions of these batteries have been manufactured for military ordnance as they have been employed in rockets, bombs, missiles, etc. 

Boron mixed with an oxidizer is used as a pyrotechnic. This ordnance appHcation for missiles and rockets is predominandy military. However, boron is also used in air bags, placed in automobiles as safety devices, for initiating the sodium azide [26628-22-8] which fiHs the bag with nitrogen (13). Other boron compounds are also used in the air-bag pyrotechnic appHcation. 

On a fresh surface the metal has a steely lustre but rapidly tarnishes in air as a result of surface formation of oxide and carbonate species. For protection against oxidation the metal is usually stored in a light mineral oil. When made finely divided, eg, on being cut, it can be strongly pyrophoric, and, for this reason is used, as the ferro-alloy mischmetal, in lighter flints and ordnance. Cerium reacts steadily with water, readily dissolves in mineral acids, and is also attacked by alkafl it reacts with most nonmetals on heating.
