Titanium Sheet - 0.5mm Thick - Grade 5 (Gr5, 6AL-4V)

• Does your robot need strong and light armor? (Of course it does!) Titanium is the #1 choice for armoring combat robots thanks to its high strength-to-weight ratio.
• FingerTech's titanium sheets are high quality Grade 5 (Gr2 or "commercially pure" titanium is much weaker and not what you want for combat robots!)
• We carry titanium for weapon blades or impenetrable armor; thin and springy that can be bent around to make wheel guards; and everything in between.

Tips

• Use 0.5mm for wrapping around wheels and making springy, shock-absorbing armor.
• Use the 0.8mm & 1.0mm medium sizes for rigid panels and wedges.
• 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.
