Titanium TI6Al4V ASTM GR5 - Annealed

Component WT%:
Al: 6;    Fe Max: 0.25;    O Max: 0.2;    Ti: 90;   V: 4

Physical Properties: (please see below chart):

Material Notes:
Annealing Temperature 700-785℃。 Alpha-Beta Alloy

Subcategory: Alpha/Beta Titanium Alloy; Metal; Nonferrous Metal; Titanium Alloy

Key Words: Ti-6-4; UNS R56400; ASTM Grade5 titanium; UNS R56401(ELI), Ti6Al4V, biomaterials, biomedical implants, biocompatibility.

Applications: Blades, discs, rings, airframes, fasteners, components. Vessels, Cases, Hubs, Forgings.

Biocompatibility: Excellent, especially when direct contact with tissue or bone is required. Ti-6Al-4V's poor shear strength makes it undesirable for bone screws or plates. It also has poor surface wear properties and tends to seize when in sliding contact with itself and other metals. Surface treatments such as nitriding and oxidizing can improve the surface wear properties.

General Characteristics: The high strength, low weight ratio and outstanding corrosion resistance inherent to titanium and its alloys has led to a wide and diversified range of successful applications which demand high levels of reliable performance in surgery and medicine as well as in aerospace, automotive, chemical plant, power generation, oil and gas extraction, sports, and other major industries.

In the majority of these and other engineering applications titanium has replaced heavier, less serviceable or less cost-effective materials. Designing with titanium taking all factors into account has resulted in reliable, economic and more durable systems and components, which in many situations have substantially exceeded performance and service life expectations.

Titanium is available in several different grades. Pure titanium is not as strong as the different titanium alloys are.

Special characteristics: Ti6Al4V is the most widely used titanium alloys. It features good machinability and excellent mechanical properties. The Ti6Al4V alloy offers the best all-round performance for a variety of weight reduction applications in aerospace, automotive and marine equipment.

Ti6Al4V also has numerous applications in the medical industry. Biocompatibility of Ti6Al4V is excellent, especially when direct contact with tissue or bone is required.

Applications: Ti6Al4V is typically used for：

--Direct manufacturing of parts and prototypes for racing and aerospace industry
--Biomechanical applications, such as implants and prosthesis
--Marine applications
--Chemical industry
--Gas turbines

Titanium for sale / titanium metal supply / titanium metal supplier / titanium sales

Titanium Color: Silver

Talk about titanium supply or sales, I want to share an old article as below:

I believe, there are so many people worked in aerospace manufacturing, chemical industry, power generation, oil & gas industry, Nuclear plant, often have dealing with titanium, tantalum, niobium, nickel, zirconium and its alloys. maybe it has made you headache.

Now let me detail introduce the notes when you planed to purchase or buy titanium materials.

First, you  need to clear the common shape of titanium materials, there are several common shapes:

Bars/Rods

Plates/Sheets

Pipe Fittings: Elbows, Tees, Reduces, Flanges

Forgings

Fasteners: Nuts, Bolts, Screws, Washers

Custom Designed Parts

Second, you need know the materials.

Pure Titanium and Titanium Alloys

Common Pure Titanium Materials: Gr1, Gr2

Common Titanium Alloy Materials: Gr5, Gr7, Gr9, Gr12

Third: Characteristic of titanium materials

You can decide which materials will be suitable for you once you know about the characteristic of titanium materials.

1. Corrosion resistance, so this material is widely used in chemical industry and water desalination and shipbuilding industry.

2. Low density with high strength. density of titanium is 4.51 and density of stainless steel is 7.8. this feature make titanium materials widely used in aerospace manufacturing.

3. Non-toxic and no-magnetic. strong affability with body, so it is widely used in medical industry, such as medical device and implant materials.

Fourth, How to express. you can clearly express the specification for your supplier. (unit:mm)

Bars: OD * Length    Eg: OD10*1000mm

Plates: Thickness * width * length   Eg: 5*1000*2000mm

Tube: OD * ID * Length   Eg: OD50*ID40*1000mm

Fifth, How to calculate weight

Bars: π*r*r*ρ*L/1000000 (kgs) 

           Eg: OD10*1000mm    0.354kgs

Plate: Width*Length*Thickness*ρ/1000000 (kgs)

           Eg: 5*1000*2000mm     45.1kgs

Tube: (OD-TK)*TK*ρ*π*L/1000000 (kgs)

           Eg: OD50*ID40*1000mm       3.186kgs

Sixth: Standard

Bars: ASTM B348

Plates: ASTM B265

Seamless Tube:  ASTM B861

Welded Pipes: ASTM B862

Heat Exchanger & Condensers Tube: ASTM B338

Elbows, Tees, Reducers: ASTM B363

Forgings:  ASTM B381

So, if you want to buy or import titanium materials, you need

know the details, including:

Materials (eg: Gr1), 

Specifications, Quantities,  Standards. For examples:

I need a GRADE2 BARS, its specification is OD10X1000mm

quantity is 100kgs. standard is ASTM B348.

So this is very clear to supplier, and you will get your price 

very soon！

3. Titanium Price / Price of Titanium / Titanium Cost / Cost of Titanium / Titanium price per kg / titanium metal price

I believe, titanium price is the major concern for most of people.

I talked with a lot of client & friend, they always told me that titanium is too expensive. although titanium is very light and corrosion resistance, but face to price, they have to give up titanium to choose other alternative materials, like Stainless Steel. 

Like one latest thing, one of my client from Norway, we talked a project for a very long time, it ask titanium foils, but finally, the client choose stainless steel foils, he told me that this changed save appex 1 million dollars to him.

Of course, there are also a lot of people choose titanium. although titanium with high price. but it with excellent corrosion resistant, based on the same product, for stainless steel plate, you maybe use 10mm thickness can meet your require, but for titanium maybe only 5-6mm thickness can meet your require. and for stainless steel equipment, you  maybe have to change new equipment per 3 month, but titanium's service life can last 3+ years. at the same time, titanium can reduce very lot of weight compare than stainless steel.

Now, let's see the trends of titanium sponge in China as below:

At here, I will show some price for titanium plate, bars, tubes.

Titanium Plate / Grade2 / 3-6mm thickness / USD 20/kg
Titanium Bars / Grade2 / 20mm-50mm Dia / USD 20/kg
Titanium Tubes / Grade2 25.4x1mm / USD 25/kg
