What's the main properties of TI-6AL-4V titanium?

Main properties of TI-6AL-4V titanium

TI-6AL-4V titanium alloy (also known as is a high-performance titanium alloy with high strength, high toughness, and good corrosion resistance. Its chemical composition mainly includes titanium (Ti), aluminum (Al), and vanadium (V), with aluminum accounting for about 6% and vanadium accounting for about 4%. It also contains small amounts of impurity elements such as iron (Fe), carbon (C), nitrogen (N), hydrogen (H), and oxygen (O), but the content of these elements is strictly controlled.

physical property

The density of TI-6AL-4V titanium plate is about 4.51g/cm ³, which is lighter than many other metal materials. Its elastic modulus is between 105 and 116 GPa, and it has good thermal and electrical conductivity.

Mechanical performance

TI-6AL-4V titanium plate has high strength and toughness, with a tensile strength usually above 925 MPa, a yield strength above 870 MPa, and an elongation of over 10%. These excellent mechanical properties enable GR5 titanium plates to perform well under high loads and complex stress environments.

Corrosion resistance

Titanium exhibits excellent performance in many media, especially being highly stable in oxidizing, neutral, and weakly reducing media. Titanium has a strong affinity for oxygen and can form a dense oxide film on the surface to protect the substrate from corrosion. Even if the surface is subjected to mechanical wear, this oxide film can quickly self heal or regenerate, thereby enhancing its corrosion resistance.

Application of TI-6AL-4V titanium Alloy 

TI-6AL-4V titanium alloy is widely used in multiple fields:

Aerospace: Used for aircraft structural components, engine parts, spacecraft components, etc., due to its high strength, low density, and good heat resistance, it reduces structural weight and improves performance.

Biomedical: Used for manufacturing artificial joints, bone implants, surgical instruments, etc., ensuring patient safety and comfort due to its biocompatibility and corrosion resistance.

Chemical and marine engineering: suitable for heat exchangers, pump bodies, valves, and seawater desalination equipment, due to its good corrosion resistance and ability to maintain stability under high temperature and high pressure conditions.

Other fields, such as the automotive industry, military, energy, electronics, and high vacuum technology, utilize their advantages of high strength, lightweight, and corrosion resistance.
