0.5mm thick (210x300mm) Titanium Sheet – Grade 2

Description

0.5mm thick (210x300mm) Titanium Sheet – Grade 2
Ant Weight, BattleBot Armour/Chassis Material.

0.5mm Grade 2 Titanium is the ultimate antweight armour or even chassis material, strong, light and easy to work with using hand tools.  eg:

It can be cut with tin snips, drilled without special bits, bent with hand pliers and still take a beating from most weapons with ease.  It has a good combination of strength, formability, ductility and weldability.

Its lighter than common steel and relatively harder.
Density – 4.506 g/cm³  (compared to common stainless steel 304, ~8g/cm³)

TIPS:
– When bending try not to re-bend back and forth as this will cause cracking.
– Expect slight spring back when bending, so over-bend by +-3degrees.
– When drilling use slow RPM and high pressure.

Note – not to be confused with more commonly used,  Grade 5, Gr5 (6AL-4V) ASTM B265,  which contains Titanium alloy. 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium. This type is “harder” and  #1 choice for armouring combat robots, especially in heavy weight classes. It’s overkill in armouring ant-weights and very difficult to work with.
