NEW Titanium Sheets - Grade 5 (6AL-4V)
NEW Titanium Sheets - Grade 5 (6AL-4V)
New Supplier! We now have a new supplier for these sheets, which has allowed us to import it more easily. Still the same great quality alloy, and the sheets are now slightly larger for the same price! (A4 size instead of smaller size 8x10 sheets from fingertech)
This stuff can't be beat for armor and even weapons.
Currently we're only carrying the 0.5mm 1mm, 2mm, and 3mm sheets in A4 Size.
NEW: We now also have 5mm thick plates in A3 Size! (For that extra chonky wedge, or for feather parts!)
Additional sizes hopefully coming soon!
Tips
- Use 0.5mm for wrapping around wheels and making springy, shock-absorbing armor.
- Use the medium sizes for rigid panels and wedges.
- 2mm makes nearly impenetrable armor. and 3mm and up can even make decent weapon bars.
- Thin sizes can be cut with aviation snips and metal shears, thicker sizes with rotary tools (dremel discs, angle grinder zip discs, metal-cutting chop saw), and bandsaws (using metal-cutting blade).
- Can be bent by hand tools or a brake (thicker sizes should be cautiously heated to glowing orange with a propane torch to prevent cracking). Larger radius bends work better!
- Use cutting fluid when drilling, with slow RPM and high pressure. Titanium will work-harden if you let the tool rub on the metal.
