Hello Dan

    Tempering titanium is easy, heat it up to just glowing (Dull red) 650
    degrees Celsius In industry the do it under a protection gas but if
    you don't mid some extra oxides to grind of it works well. Also Titanium
    is easier to deform when it is hot above 500 degrees Celsius if you
    want to bend a sharp edge or something 

Good luck
