Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V): A Buyer Guide

Grade 5 Titanium (Ti-6Al-4V): A Buyer Guide

Short answer: Grade 5 titanium, also called Ti-6Al-4V, is the most used titanium alloy with a tensile strength near 950 MPa at a density of only 4.43 grams per cubic centimetre and excellent corrosion resistance, so it replaces steel where weight matters and beats aluminum where strength matters in aerospace, medical and marine parts, supplied as certified billet, bar, plate and tube.
