I saw that bit of nonsense in the Servisure catalog; in order for titanium to not "consume current", it would have to be an insulator not a conductor. If titanium was an insulator, it would be worthless to make the anode connections to the parts, right? Fortunately for racking; Ti is a conductor (being a metal) it just doesn't conduct electricity as well as aluminum does. This means it "consumes" less current than aluminum racking.

Servisure's over-simplicification results in their attempting to violate Ohm's Law, and there are no exceptions to a Physical Law.
