Title: [IC] - Aerospace grade titanium 60% plates - GB starting shortly!!!!!!!
Post by: The_Beast on Thu, 02 January 2014, 17:48:58
So in collaboration with mkawa, I'll have access to some 14 gauge/.08" CP4 grade (aerospace grade) titanium. That means some custom 60% sized plates out of TITANIUM. I'm thinking any layout you want (if jdcarpe doesn't mind helping me with design, I have quite a few designs already) with the caveat that you don't mine paying for the programming fee.


Not sure on pricing or time frame but still let me know if you're interested. I think we'll have to order in quantities of 12 due to the sheet size that mkawa can get


Also, switch tools......

Laser guy got back to me, he can only fit 8-9 plates per kawa sheet. He did also get back to me with a cutting fee with material provided. The final cost of the plate is looking to be around $75 + shipping to you. As for tools, it depends on how many he can fit onto the remaining scrap metal (no cutting fee quoted)


Here's a list of those interested:

Interest noted, you'll be first in line. The first 12 plates cut are kind of a prototype because my guy CAN cut Ti, but he hasn't before. So the first plate cut will be mine to calibrate settings, but I can't guarantee them turning out perfectly

it will get somewhere between a 36 and 40-ish mil finish. think stainless steel 4B. not polished down to a shine, but a little matte.

What properties does Ti have over stainless steel which make it better for plates?  I could be interested once we get an idea on price.
Title: Re: [IC] - Aerospace grade titanium 60% plates
Post by: mkawa on Fri, 03 January 2014, 00:36:29
titanium is as strong as stainless steel but weighs about 1/10 as much, roughly. stainless steel refers to a huge number of alloys, whereas titanium is generally judged on purity, (CP grades). this is CP material, and not an alloy such as 16av. as such, this material offers many of the benefits of very low carbon martensitic stainless with a fraction of the weight and about 10-15% more dimensional stability.

If these plates allow switch top removal I'll bump my order to 2 plates. Not fussed if it costs more, I've got two plates here already but they're just universal plates and I know I'll wind up wanting to change springs or stems some time in the future.

also re: finish, titanium has fantastic bulk material properties and low weight but doesn't have a ton of surface hardness, so you can really finish the sheet however you want to with pretty basic tools. part of my mockup for the project this material is for involves a brushed and wetsanded CP grade 2 plate that i've been trying to get mostly flat for conductivity experiments. i can take some pictures tomorrow if there's interest. titan has a pretty unique look to it for metallurgic  reasons i don't understand in the least.

Yeah pics would be awesome! I love the look of titanium, as soon as I saw the IC I knew I was in regardless of what was on offer.

here's a picture of a cp2 sheet brushed at ~400 grit then given a rough lap at 2000 grit with alumina wetsanding

you can see how it desn't quite do shine; it's always a bit matte and has a dark tint to it. the surface tends more towards luster than stainless.

I'm waffling. I'd love the Ti plate just for the geek cred but the cost ...? Hmm.

But the 60% I'm hoping for is Spirit's ALPs project, hopefully coming out soon. Let's assume I drew up a file (I think I have the necessary information to do that) I'd like to know the cost of the thing before I say no I'm not in.

Also if TKL support grows to the right region I'd like to hear about that ... a phantom Ti plate in 7bit layout would make me giddy. As much for the hit to my wallet as anything but still.

Count me as interested but broke, hmm?

right now we're kind of scrambling to see what else can cut with the drawings we have ready. if the_beast has a 75% drawing ready then it might be possible to get one cut.

the trick here is that you pay for your material and cuts before we order the material from the supplier. we're trying to maximize the amount of material we order from the supplier for volume discounts, so the more the merrier _as long as a drawing exists or is made_.

One problem is that my laser guy hasn't cut Ti before, he can, his laser is 4000 watts. But since this is his first time, I can't say that these are going to be perfect....

Also, I emailed him for a quote, but I'm not sure he can give me one since he hasn't worked with the material. I should hear back from him Monday

If you can put links to or pictures of the plates that you already have available.  Even if you just link to this page (http://geekhack.org/index.php?topic=41464.msg828888#msg828888) with the name associated.  I understand that it may not be exactly the same thing that will go to production (you might do cutouts differently for example), but at least we can get some interest numbers associated with layouts you have available.

I think this will help with interest and making the metal more affordable.

Oh, and put 'The_Beast Switch Tool' in the title and the thread will get a lot more traffic.  :P

the switch tools should be pretty plug and play. the plates are experimental. large plates are even more experimental. the point of this exercise is to have fun with a cool new material. keep that in mind.

I guessed it would be more than the aluminum ones.

Can you give an estimate on how much more they will cost?

asssuming one sheet of this material to be cut only with switch tools, can you give a rough estimate on how much would a single switch tool cost?

Switch tools are just going to be fillers since they are small. Plates are the main thing being cut

no, we can't. the laser has never cut Ti before and the cutting shop has absolutely no idea what tolerances, setup time and rough finishing it going to cost or look it.

the finish will be something like a 4B matte. no options, as we aren't sending anything to a finishing shop as most finishing shops will not deal with titanium and the cost would be very large

I was thinking of trying to anodize the titanium plate, I've seen some small items made of titanium that were absolutely gorgeous in a multi-colored green/purple hue.  One of my garage sale finds last year was a regulated DC power supply, sounds like exactly what I'd need to try making hydrogen bombs colored titanium at home.

Someone reading this may be able to help...

I would like to get a plate which allows you to take the tops of switches off without desoldering each time. I know they exist but I don't know how they differ from a standard plate? Are they manufactured completely differently or just with extra holes where you would press to remove the switch tops?

Ideally a 60% ISO poker 2 plate that does this would be my ideal plate :)

I'm adding up the costs now; right on the fence about it.

I may not get a chance to remake the file but I'm certain I want my 60%, to be an ALPs kbd -- and I'm also on the fence about the layout. Half of me says Pure1 (http://imsto.cn/image/data/Pure.jpg) for dedicated arrows, the other half says I haven't seen Spirit's PCB so choose WKL/1.75 for increased compatibility. Another half says heck go lowpoly and save $50 so you can focus on having this thing, and another half says I've never done anything even remotely like that.

Almost all custom plates are cut with a cutout that allows for plate mount cherry, costar and well as PCB mount cherry (if they PCB supports PCB mounting)

I use this cutout so all of those stabilizers should work

so i'm thinking of hand finishing the raw material to a really fine mirror finish. basically what's going to happen now is that there is a certain amount of material that's going to go to a grinder whose mission in life is going to make it meet very fine mechanical tolerances. our material is going to skip that because it's expensive and unnecessary. all we really care about is how it looks, frankly, and that's best done by smaller hand tools.

if we're going to do it ourselves, a tooling investment will be needed though. a random orbital sander, polishing compound and some abrasives should do it.. the cutter may also be able to surface it quite nicely. i suspect it will be cheaper for us to do it ourselves though.

Presumably this would increase the final price a bit? Not a deal-breaker at all for me, but my wallet needs to prepare for the abuse to come.

Edit: I actually agree with some later posters that I'd rather have this done myself later if I decide on it. I was kinda looking forward to the look of unfinished titanium

In my opinion getting the best quality plate possible should be the aim of this buy and if that is what you think would result in a good quality plate I it should be done regardless of the price increase. (within reason!)

For me it's already quite an expensive (and potentially risky) investment. I have polishing facilities here so can do this stage.

I guess you would polish the large sheet all in one go so let me know if this becomes the new plan and what this means with regard to pricing.

Fingers crossed this all goes well as it would be fantastic!

at the moment, we're looking at completely unfinished. meaning there will be stamps and scale and weird crap on it. the first level of finish would be something like a 100 uinch RMS, which is pretty easy to do by hand with a quick pass of a random orbital. that won't necessarily pull enough material off to get rid of the stamping and scale though. the CP2 sheet i was playing around with i brushed at around 400 grit, then did a hand lap at 600 then 2000 grit carbide. and it still left quite a bit of junk on the surface. it was very very far from a mirror finish though.

there will be a a fair amount of time to play with the material once it comes in. this is something we can definitely play by ear.

I would be happy with the unfinished plate if finishing ramps the cost up more but, yeh, play it by ear for now I guess.

I'm actually more in favor of reduced finishing, or no finishing. Mirror plates would be an odd, but cool thing, but a plate with random stamps under the cutouts? Way cool -- it would look like something out of the Fallout video game series. Put some Commando set keycaps over the top of it and make that your survivalist keyboard!

Agreed, though very different,  both will look good.

Unpolished can be polished in the future...but you can't go back to the original look. Thinking a low profile case (some plate exposure) coupled with this and the old school round 5 honeywell's GB would be a great retro combination...that's my planned egro-clear build for 2014.

I'd take at least one plate if not two. Also if the switch tools are titanium I will want a set and give my current stainless steel set away. If they are V2 of stainless steel I'm in if help is needed for MOQ, otherwise I'll pass.

Does the Use of CP4 in aerospace make it special?

I mean.. these specs are designed to fulfill specific purposes. differences in hardness, ductility, operational temperatures, etc. The Titanium grades is not a scale of rarity or quality.

So.. even though CP4 is commonly used in Aerospace, that doesn't mean it'd be the ideal choice for a keyboard plate..

Grade 5 is also extensively used "in aerospace" and it's much harder than 4, because it's alloyed.

I'd say since all titanium grade would be "hard enough"  why not use Grade 7 ?.. it is the most corrosion resistent.. given the sweat from our hands and oils.. that property seems more attractive..

I agree cp4 aerospace keyboard plate sounds super cool.. but i hope people arn't going into this JUST on that.. and make a fool of themselves when they meet a titanium xpert.

Titanium is already very corrosion resistant. As well as very reactive. That's why you don't find the stuff in nature. It's everywhere.
The good thing is that as soon as it reacts with anything, it forms titanium oxide, which is virtually unreactive and much harder than pure titanium.
I wouldn't worry about the type of titanium too much.

Kawa said he had some titanium, I love titanium and know someone who can have it cut. That's pretty much why I'm buying a plate or two. It really isn't about the properties of the material, it's just ****ing cool to have a goddamn titanium plate!

i can get this material to the laser with a couple days lead time, but we need a better idea of what the demand for switch tools is. so, speak up! if you want switch tools, please say so and how many!

more plates are cool too, as long as you or the_beast have a drawing for them.

it would be cool to get full 40% cases into this cutting job, but jd would have to revise his drawings, and it would delay the buy significantly. we need to get this material out to the laser and give him time to work with the material before we go too crazy. hence, we're trying to get as many switch tools made and purchased so that we can continue to get Ti plates cut with different drawings.

Kawa is partially right. Plates are the main part of this buy, tools are just to file space so we're not wasting an expensive material.

I need to figure out how many plates will fit onto the sheet, how many tools I can get out of the scrap and at what price GH is willing to buy them for.

I don't believe the tools will be $30, and I'd be quite disappointed if they were.

I understand that the material is expensive, but the surface area required for a plate makes up more than 10 sets of switch tools (they're not very big), and the plate is only about $75. Additionally, the switch tools are being produced from the scrap left over from cutting plates, which would be waste otherwise.

A nice price on the switch tools would be a nice gesture to those of us jumping into this :). (I understand if that can't happen, though.)

Wasn't there a bit of manual labor involved with the previous switch tools?

They have to be bent and the ends filed down right?

How much more difficult would it be with titanium?

That would add to the costs and even the feasibility of getting them done considering The_Beast is primarily focused on his education at the moment.

That's certainly true. I was actually assuming that most of the $15 cost of the last round of tools was labor compensation, not materials. Of course I could be wrong about this.

The_Beast, do you expect this to go to GB/invoicing phase this week? (Want to make sure funds are in the right places.)

Getting everything figured out. Once I start GB, payments will be taken right away, kawa gets Ti, ships to laser, gets cut, ships to me and I ship to you

I doubt it will be more than 2 weeks to GB starting

This would be ideal for me - Universal plate with 1800 shift and 1x key to the right also with ability to do winkey or winkeyless (1.5 1 1.5 7 1.5 1 1.5 layout most important), center or stepped caps, and 2x backspace or two 1x.
