• 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 carries high quality Grade 5 titanium sheets. (Gr2 or "commercially pure" titanium is much weaker and not what you want for combat robots!)

• Thick 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 0.6mm (0.024") for wrapping around wheels and making springy, shock-absorbing armor.

- Use the medium sizes for rigid panels and wedges.

- Use 3mm (0.12") for weapon bars and blades. (Or impenetrable armor!)

- 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.
