Is it more or less magnetic compared to other metals such as steel?

will little clips knock off the sensors at the airport?

or other sensors around normal in-town locations?

Titanium is Paramagnetic. This is a form of magnetism which occurs only in the presence of an externally applied magnetic field. Paramagnetic materials are attracted to magnetic fields, hence have a relative magnetic permeability greater than one (or, equivalently, a positive magnetic susceptibility). However, unlike ferromagnetic which are also attracted to magnetic fields, paramagnets do not retain any magnetization in the absence of an externally applied magnetic field.
Hope this helps you!! Good Luck!!!
I do beleive it will set off the sensors especially at airports. They are turning the sensitivity up on these units to the point of the titanium in my knee replacement sets them off!!!

Is Titanium Magnetic

Titanium is classified as paramagnetic, but it has a very low K-value. This means that it is weakly attracted to magnetic fields, but when the field is removed, it does not retain any magnetic properties.

Pure titanium metal is mildy paramagnetic, +150.0x10^6 cgs units. It causes substantial MRI artifacts. Titanium metal is commonly contaminated with trace iron. It is much less magnetic than common steels, down to non-magnetic stainless alloys.

Titanium isn't magnetic on its own but usually contains an amount of iron which may alter its magnetic propeties.

It is magnetic, so it would stick to another magnet if it was near by. Iron is more magnetic and is called ferromagnetic, while titanium is paramagnetic. Zinc is diamagnetic, which is different from those two. Platinum is paramagnetic. All transition metals are magnetic in some way.

No. It's considered nonmagnetic, especially in comparison to such metals as steel.
We use titanium rods as strength members in our magnetic assemblies (large Nd-Fe-B and Sm-Co magnets) and there is no noticeable magnetic attraction.
Friends who have titanium implants in their bodies say that they normally do not have trouble at the airport metal detectors.
Ummmmmm... just what are you planning?

It's got a fan club, yes.
