Titanium is lightweight, strong, corrosion resistant and abundant in nature. Titanium and its alloys possess tensile strengths from 30,000 psi to 200,000 psi (210-1380 MPa), which are equivalent to those strengths found in most of alloy steels. The density of titanium is only 56 percent that of steel, and its corrosion resistance compares well with that of platinum. Of all the elements in the earth’s crust, titanium is the ninth most plentiful. Titanium has a high melting point of 3135°F (1725°C). This melting point is approximately 400°F (220°C) above the melting point of steel and approximately 2000°F (1100°C) above that of aluminum. It also has the advantage of a very thin, conductive oxide surface film, and a hard, smooth surface that limits adhesions of foreign materials.
Common Grades
Titanium Grade 1 is an unalloyed, low strength titanium product containing low oxygen with high form ability; this titanium grade is used in air frames, heat exchanges and desalination units.
Titanium Grade 2 is an unalloyed, medium strength titanium product. This titanium grade is used in air frames, aircraft engines and marine parts; good weld ability and corrosion resistance are its distinguishing characteristics.
Titanium Grade 3 is an unalloyed, high strength, titanium product providing excellent corrosion resistance and good weld ability. This titanium grade is primarily used in air frame and aircraft engine parts.
Titanium Grade 4 is the highest strength pure unalloyed titanium product. This titanium grade is used almost exclusively for air frame, aircraft engine parts, marine, surgical implants, hydraulic tubing. Good form ability and corrosion resistance are its hallmark.
Titanium Grade 5 (6AL-4V)is an alloyed titanium product containing 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium; is a medium strength product. This titanium grade is predominantly used in airframe and turbine engine parts; and for use in surgical implants. Technical Info Titanium 6AL – 4V ELI is an alloyed titanium product containing 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium, ELI (Extra Low Interstitial).
6AL–2Sn–4Zr–2Mo (6-2-4-2)is an alloyed titanium product containing 6% Aluminum, 2% Tin, 4% Zirconium, 2% Molybdenum.
6AL–6V–2Sn (6-6-2) is an alloyed titanium product containing 6% Aluminum, 6% Vanadium, 2% Tin.
5AL–2.5Sn & ELI (5-2.5) is an alloyed titanium product containing 5% Aluminum and 2.5% Tin. Also ELI (Extra Low Interstitial).
8AL–1V–1Mo (8-1-1) is an alloyed titanium product containing 8% Aluminum, 1% Molybdenum and 1% Vanadium.
15V–3Cr–4AL–3Sn (15-3-4-3) is an alloyed titanium product containing 15% Vanadium, 3% Chromium, 4% Aluminum, 3% Tin.
