Does anyone know where to find seamless 6al-4v titanium tubing or how to look for it? I googled it and didn't come up with anything of interest. MSC and ebay didn't come up with anything. So far none of the local metal dealers seem to have anything.
I need a wall thickness of around .065" and about 2.5' of it. I also need a 6-8" long tube that's 1.25" OD with ~.100 wall thickness. Also, I need 4 chunks of the stuff 0.625"x3"x1" and some 3/16" plate. One might wonder what I'm making... a unicycle frame. Due to the cost of the ti and my serious wish not to screw up, i'm going to be making two frames. A practice one on 304 stainless, and then the real thing with the Ti.
Might there be someone out there who happens to have this material on hand and would like to sell it?
My boss gave me the stainless, but does anyone have any idea how much the titanium I listed above will cost? I'm guessing around $200-$250. Yes, I'm aware of the fact that cutter costs can quickly exceed that of the material of I'm not careful.
