Question:

Could a thin titanium sheet bend like a (plastic) playing card?

Titanium sheet, lets say thickness 250 microns (0,010''), and size 3.5 x 2.5. How far could it bend so when you release it it goes back to its original shape (without any shape change or damage)? Could it act same as/close to a (plastic) playing card? Shuffle, bend half of the card when you are looking at it while its laying on the table?

Answer:

In alloyed condition it’s as strong as steel but 45% lighter and also ductile Under mentioned conditions, it will not behave as you mentioned
