Just dug up the URL; https://arxiv.org/ftp/physics/papers/0610/0610030.pdf is what I'm drawing most of my approach form. It mostly focuses on 0.1c and above, a bit faster than what I'm looking at, so I've been trying to extrapolate downwards.
Take a look at page 4, table c. That shows penetration in tissue and titanium (penetration appears to be the logarithm of penetration, in centimeters). The curve for penetration depth in titanium appears to hit the bottom of the chart (-2, or 0.1mm) at about 0.1c.
