Ti sheet

[Kev L]

I have a sheet of Ti, only lightly licked and stroked, which I was going to use for some exhaust hangers. Now much as I love the stuff it turns out Ti doesn't like me working on it with hand tools. Hey ho back to stainless steel.

Now the reason for my post, I can't see me using this so its up for grabs should anyone want it -

Titanium Grade.5 6AL-4V Sheet Thickness: 2.15mm 301mm x 501mm Weight : 1440g

I got it from E Bay, yours for what I paid £65.

Yep, you can't whittle titanium.

I even tried my best penknife, giving it a stern talking to and my best "do you want some? I'll give it ya!" Look. Nowt works. Never mind I'll have to talk the Mrs into buying me one of them there water cutter tings. Might need an extension on the garage (lounge maybe!).

Can you not draw on it what you want and then take it to get aqua jetted cut ?

You want to get some carbide tools for working on Ti. Carbide burrs will get through it no problem, with a slow spindle speed and plenty of lubricant.
