Chemicals to dissolve titanium for fine art?

Are there readily available chemicals which dissolve titanium at room temperature? I would appreciate any advice- please respond privately if this is too dumb a question for this expert forum! I also would like to know if any of the readers can electroform Ti. Both questions relate to a fine art fabrication project.

Thanks!

letter 13432 addresses etching of titanium. Titanium cannot be electroformed, sorry.
