Ti 6Al/4V Titanium Alloy Tube Grade 5 Titanium Tube Straight/Seamless Tubing for Pressure Tubing
Introduction of Titanium Seamless Tube and Titanium Tube:
Ti 6Al/4V stands out as the most extensively utilized among all alpha-beta titanium alloys, constituting over half of total titanium usage worldwide. Typically employed in its annealed state, it remains effective at service temperatures reaching up to 400°C (750°F). Welding of Ti 6Al/4V is facilitated using either matching filler wire or ELI filler wire.
In terms of mechanical properties, Ti 6Al/4V boasts significantly greater strength than commercially pure titanium, while maintaining comparable stiffness and thermal characteristics—excluding its lower thermal conductivity, which is approximately 60% less than CP Ti. One of its key advantages lies in its ability to undergo heat treatment, enhancing its overall performance.
Renowned for its robust combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weldability, and fabricability, Ti 6Al/4V finds widespread application in diverse fields such as military aircraft, turbines, and surgical implants. Its versatility extends to applications requiring temperatures up to 400°C, where it improves ductility and toughness, especially in cold-worked conditions.
This grade of titanium alloy thus remains pivotal across industries that demand high-performance materials capable of withstanding challenging environments and stringent mechanical requirements.
Different Specifications:
- ASTM F1472: Specifies the standard specification for wrought titanium-6 aluminum-4 vanadium alloy (Grade 5) for surgical implant applications.
- ASTM F620: Defines the standard practice for titanium alloy forgings for surgical implants in biomedical applications.
- ASTM B543: Covers the standard specification for welding electrodes and rods for use with titanium and titanium alloys.
These standards ensure that Ti 6Al/4V meets specific requirements related to its chemical composition, mechanical properties, fabrication processes (such as forging and welding), and suitability for various applications, including biomedical implants and industrial components. Additionally, adherence to individual customer specifications ensures that the alloy meets unique performance and quality criteria as needed by specific end-users or applications.
