Cool. Titanic was a good choice IMO. The name seems to conjure up images of indestructible barrels. Much unlike other names, Bernard, Acme, Whitworth for example. Even Vulcan, a fictional Star Trek being I think. Of course the Titanic did sink

“Vulcan” actually conjures up ‘from the furnaces of Hell’ or some such volcanic beginning.

Vulcan is the Roman god of fire. He was associated with and including the fire of volcanoes, deserts, metalworking, and the forge in ancient Roman religion and myth. He is often depicted with a blacksmith's hammer.

I don't have a Parker with Titanic steel barrels.....yet. Working on it.
Vulcan was a planet in the Star Trek universe inhabited by pointy-eared green people who prided themselves on their use of logic, referred to as Vulcans. Mr. Spock was the most famous Vulcan character of the series. "Live long and Prosper." |

Thanks to Dave Suponski, and published in the Summer 2014 Parker Pages, we know Titanic, post-WWI Vulcan, and Trojan steel were essentially the same; AISI 1030 and 1035 Medium Carbon steels. Titanic did have low levels of both nickel and chromium compared to the others, but it would not be an “alloy steel”. Tensile strength testing was not performed on Dave's samples for comparison.
Pre-WWI Vulcan was AISI 1015. Many pre-WWI U.S. maker's tubes were AISI 1020.
