That little c behind the 600 stands for Centigrade not Fahrenheit......600 degrees Centigrade = 1112 degrees Fahrenheit. 30 years in the Hi Temp Steel industry

I know what the little c is. I also know how hot they get after running them. One full auto mag dump on a 90 degree got a titanium can to 719 degrees. Most manufacturers rate them at semi, limited full auto for a reason. Glad you made it that long. Remember guys, do your own research there's a lot of experts out there.
Here's the reason..............
The natural properties of titanium allow for a superior strength to weight ratio compared to steel. It will also cool faster than steel and has a higher melting temperature. However, it's tolerance for heat also causes problems when used in suppressors. While the suppressor itself can operate just fine at very high temperatures, projectiles passing through it will not. Lead and jacketed bullets have the potential to fragment at such temperatures which can increase the possibility of baffle strikes. Therefore, most manufacturers suggest allowing titanium suppressors to cool after automatic fire or very quick semi-automatic fire.

Yes, those are some things to watch for as well as increased erosion due to high temps. Also I personally would not want to run one that hot. You could get close to it's failure rate within another mag or two if you're already over 700.
A good read about suppressors for those that want to read it.

You'll be glad you went with titanium once you screw it on the end of your rifle, will take some getting used to as the balance point of your rifle moves very much towards the muzzle. You should never wear out a titanium can on a bolt rifle...
