Titanium has an elastic modulus of about 5/8 times that of steel so for a given force
it will deflect 8/5 time as much as steel.

Just a hint if you want to bend a joiner (metal) get a piece of thick rubber (20mm)
and place the rod on it. put a round bar say 25mm dia. across where you want to
bend it and put the whole lot in a vice or in a press and compress until you get the
right angle. This produces a bar that has a small bend radius at the centre and
all else is straight.
