Ti

Ti6Al4V, also known as grade 5, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used titanium alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum) oxygen, and the remainder titanium. It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties (excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti). Among its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabric ability. This alpha-beta alloy is the workhorse alloy of the titanium industry. The alloy is fully heat treatable in section sizes up to 15mm and is used up to approximately 400°C (750°F). Over 70% of all alloy grades melted are a sub-grade of Ti6Al4V, its uses vary in many aerospace airframe and engine component uses and also major non-aerospace applications in the marine, offshore and power generation industries in particular.

Generally, Ti-6Al-4V is used in applications up to 400 degrees Celsius. It has a density of roughly 4420 kg/m3, Young's modulus of 110 GPa, and tensile strength of 1000 Mpa. By comparison, annealed type 316 stainless steel has a density of 8000 kg/m3, modulus of 193 GPa, and tensile strength of only 570 Mpa. While tempered 6061 aluminum alloy has 2700 kg/m3, 69 GPa, and 310 MPa, respectively.
