Pure titanium is paramagnetic. It may be an alloy that can affect any
properties though. Magnetic field decreases rapidly with distance so I doubt
it would be a problem. You need mass

Furthermore, because its energy is transferred only to relatively massive
magnetic materials, you can turn an induction element to "maximum" and place
your hand flat over it with no consequences whatever--it will not roast your
non-ferrous hand! (Nor any rings or bracelets--the units all have sensors
that detect how much ferrous metal is in the area that the magnetic field
would occupy, and if it isn't at least as much as a small pot, they don't
turn on.)
