6Al-4V Grade 5 Titanium

6Al-4V is an alpha-beta titanium alloy with low density (4.42 kg/dm³). Also known as Grade 5, the alloy benefits from good mechanical strength combined with excellent corrosion resistance. The material also offers good weldability. The hardness of the material is improved by the introduction of aluminium and vanadium in the alloying process. 6Al-4V benefits from a low modulus of elasticity. Smiths Advanced Metals stocks 6Al-4V titanium alloy sheets in the annealed condition and various incremental sizes.

Lower Density

6Al-4V (Grade 5) is a low-density alloy with half the density of stainless steel and nickel-based alloys. The result is a product with a high strength to weight ratio and consequently finds extensive use in structural components, especially in aerospace and sub-sea / above-sea applications. 6Al-4V (Grade 5) is supplied in the annealed condition.

Commercial Applications

6Al-4V (grade 5) titanium sheet finds use in engineering applications, including aerospace structural components, oil & gas components, medical instruments and implants and marine applications.
