They haven't any at B+Q or Screwfix, so who can supply a 18" x 3 " x
18 gauge strip of titanium ?


Firstly, as I understand it, titanium comes in a variety of
grades. Are you attempting something like rocket science or does
this not matter as you only want the appearance? Titanium wa
quite expensive a few years back because so much of it was going
into sporting bats of one sort or another and the law of supply
and demand came into play. Depending on purity and grade you are
looking at UKP 1 per gram upwards in small quantity.

do all sorts of exotic metals. Depending on the metal, they go up
to six nines purity. Small orders no problem.


John, Thanks for your help. The application is an ornamental one, so the
exact grade and putity is unimportant. Mostly I have been offered G5,
but I have no idea if that is good bad or indifferent. I want to
decorate the piece by anodising.

Why get Titanium then coat it?
