\A note of caution:  you're assuming that nitrogen is an inert gas.  This
/isn't necessarily true when hot metals are involved.  I'm not sure about
\aluminum, but I know titanium will burn fiercely in nitrogen (in fact,
/the ash from titanium burning in air is about 80% titanium nitride).
\Without an ignition source, the combination might be stable enough.

Titanium nitride... is that Ti N
                              x y
or something along the lines of     Ti N O   ?
                                      x y z 

In short, is this something that will happen without oxygen whatsoever?
