Bear in mind that you wont be abele to bend grade 5 ti. If you want to bend it then you'll need grade 1 or 2peterwaller wrote:Here is a small piece 99mm x 296mm x 1mm on ebay.

If you're talking bending as in stick the bending dies in the vice and then get a straight and accurate bend in it you can forget it with grade 5. As Dave says you can 'form' it to a degree but not much more. That is however the same with most materials and the thinner the material and the wider the span the better you can form it.razerdave wrote:Grade 5 can be bent, its just an absolute sod to
I bought a sheet of grade 5 1mm thick ti from eBay, and it got used to make the flipper on Terrior, but that has a very gradual bend in it to fit the form of the robot, bending it to beyond 45 degrees would likely make it snap unless you can form it over a sizeable radius
