What is titanium 6Al-4V ELI?

Description: 6AL-4V Eli is an alloyed Grade of Titanium. It is strengthened by the inclusion of roughly 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium. Titanium 6AL-4V Eli (Extra-Low Interstitial) is considered a higher purity than 6AL-4V Grade 5 due to its lower inclusions of Iron, and the interstitial elements, Carbon and Oxygen.

What is Ti 6Al-4V material?

Commonly referred to as Ti-6AL-4V (or Ti 6-4), this designation refers to its chemical composition of almost 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (max) iron and 0.2% (max) oxygen. It features excellent strength, low modulus of elasticity, high corrosion resistance, good weldability and it is heat treatable.

Is 6al4v titanium good?

The titanium alloy Ti-6Al-4V is widely used in joint replacement because of its good mechanical properties. This versatile material offers high fatigue resistance, good biocompatibility, and osseoconductivity.

What is the difference between TI 6Al 4V and Ti 6Al 4V ELI?

The main difference between Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) and Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) is that in ELI (Extra Low Interstitials) the maximum oxygen content is lowered to 0.13%. This gives the material an improved fracture toughness. Among it’s uses in the medical industry are: Orthopedic implants.

What are the different grades of titanium?

Titanium is available in commercially pure grades and titanium alloy grades. Alloys can be alpha titanium, beta titanium, or alpha-beta titanium. Alpha and beta are the two different phases of titanium. The commercially pure grades are grades 1 through 4.

What is a Grade 5 titanium?

Titanium Grade 5 is an alloyed titanium and is considered to be an alpha-beta alloy. Titanium Grade 5 is alloyed with 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium and is commonly known as Ti 6Al-4V. Titanium Engineers produces titanium bar, seamless tube and titanium machined components in Titanium Grade 5.
