LTKJ 5pcs Titanium Ti Grade 5 Gr.5 GR5 Metal Rod Diameter 3mm, Length 25cm 10 Inches

I have recently discovered making large prints in smaller sections and using these titanium rods as a press fit. You can also use aluminum. We are doing our own forms of testing on strength, but you might be surprised by how strong a couple of these rods can make plastic. They also work great when you want to print pieces that would print better in a different orientation, then flipped for assembly.

Nice price!

I'm only writing this review so that people will know that as of this date, at least the rods I ordered were all solid as advertised (contrary to what another reviewer said they received). I have been cutting these rods into 1-inch lengths, for a special electrolysis project, and so far all have been solid.

I used these for hinge-pins for a RC drift car’s suspension arms. I created 4 pieces 46mm in length and two pieces 27mm in length with a notch in the middle for a set screw. They are indeed solid, stiff and light. They are quite hard, and slightly difficult to machine with hand tools. To cut them i used my Dremel with a cutoff wheel, then changed to a sanding drum to flatten the ends. I used my dial-caliper to check length and chucked them into my drill with a wrap of masking tape. I spun them and took off a little material at a time until the correct length was achieved. The only reason they get a 4-star instead of 5 is that they are actually oversized a bit at about 3.04mm diameter. This required chucking them into the drill again and sanding them down - very time consuming. It was an interesting experience, and I am satisfied with the results. However, for my next build, I’ll probably just order stock steel hinge-pins.

It worked lol

Use it as anodizing rods for aluminum and is definitely acid and anodizing resistant

Almost certain this isn't grade 5 as it did not anodize like grade 5 does. It is titanium, and it is solid (I cut it in half to check), but again, pretty sure it's grade 1 (it anodized the exact same as the grade 1 wire I was using, unlike the TC4 knives)

I dont know how these could be titanium they're so much easier to bend than a steel rod of the same size. it's like putty
