Yes you can make soldering clamps from any metals, before I started using titanium I used stainless steel, before stainless steel I used steel cotter pins, before using steel cotter pins I used iron wires. The benefit of using these ttanium strips is that they do not degrade through a lot of heat use, they cannot be soldered to an item and they do not distract heat from the soldering join. So to me they are well worth the investment. Sorry if I have posted this photo before, but it shows the variation of clamps that I use.
