For the record, titanium is weaker than steel, and unless there is
something funny about the heat-treatment process on the hubs, the ti hub
should be weaker than the steel hub (possibly by a significant
difference). Also, strong welds in titanium are much harder to do than
in steel (much less tolerant of contaminants), so the welded flanges
have a much bigger risk of breaking at the welds than the steel hubs do.
I believe Tony Melton already broke a hub in this fashion.
