3.0Al-2.5V (AMS 4944)

3AI-2.5V (Grade 9) titanium tube offers 20 - 50% greater mechanical strength when compared to commercially pure titanium alloys at room and elevated temperatures. 3Al-2.5V, as a cold-worked and heat-treated titanium alloy, provides excellent properties in aggressive chloride-containing environments. The alloy finds use in hydraulic tubes found in aerospace applications and the manufacture of high-performance bicycle frames. This material offers good ductility, toughness and corrosion resistance.

Stock Availability

Smiths Advanced Metals stocks 3Al-2.5V (Grade 9) titanium tubes in various sizes and seamless forms.

Thermal Expansion

3AI-2.5V (Grade 9) titanium tube has very low thermal expansion. As a result of such low expansion rates, weldability and formability is excellent. The alloy is more malleable when compared to Grade 5 titanium (6Al-4V). The material also benefits from excellent resistance to pitting, crevice and erosion-corrosion. Smiths Advanced Metals also add further value by processing your titanium tubes in-house.
