6AL-4V ELI Titanium (ASTM F136) – Superior Biocompatibility & Strength

Introduction to 6AL-4V ELI Titanium (ASTM F136)

6AL-4V ELI Titanium, also known as Grade 23 Titanium, is a high-performance titanium alloy known for its biocompatibility, high strength, and corrosion resistance. As an enhanced version of Grade 5 Titanium, this alloy has a lower level of impurities, making it particularly suited for medical applications such as implants. It's also used in aerospace and marine industries where strength and resistance to harsh environments are essential.

6AL-4V Titanium (Grade 5) – High Strength and Versatility

Introduction to 6AL-4V Grade 5 Titanium

6AL-4V Titanium, also known as Grade 5 Titanium, is the most widely used titanium alloy. It is known for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and versatility. Its properties make it suitable for applications across aerospace, marine, automotive, and medical device manufacturing. As a workhorse alloy, 6AL-4V offers excellent mechanical properties and can withstand extreme conditions, both in terms of stress and temperature.

We sell Grade 2 Titanium in rod, sheet, and cut plate.

Commercially Pure Titanium is ideally suited for a large range of medical applications. It is non-magnetic, biocompatible, and has the inherent ability to osseointegrate. These properties make titanium a logical choice for just about any object meant to be left inside the human body.

Among uses for the Commercially Pure Grades in the medical industry are:

• Bone screws, plates, and other fixation devices
• Joint replacement components
• Dental root implants
• Surgical clips and staples
• Pacemaker (and other implantables) housings

Grade 2 Titanium is the most commonly used and widely available grade of unalloyed titanium. The grade combines excellent corrosion resistance and weldability with good strength, ductility and formability.
