Titanium Sheets - Grade 5 (6AL-4V)
Titanium Sheets - Grade 5 (6AL-4V)
Currently imported from FingerTech, this stuff can't be beat for armor and even weapons. Currently we're only carrying the 0.5mm 1mm and 2mm sheets, but we are seeking a more affordable option to import very soon, which may allow us to carry a slightly better assortment, and bring the price down.
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.
