Titanium Grade 5 ASTM B 265 / 348
Titanium Grade 5 ASTM B 265 / 348
This alpha-beta alloy is the workhorse alloy of the titanium industry. The alloy is fully heat-treatable in section
sizes up to one inch, and is used up to approximately 400° C (750°F). Since it is the most commonly used alloy -
over 50 per cent of all alloy grades melted are a sub-grade of Ti-6-4 - its applications span many turbine and
airframes and also several industrial applications.
This Grade 23 is basically a Grade 5 with the reduction of oxygen, iron and nitrogen content. To become an Extra
Low Interstitial Alloy. This confers improved ductility and fracture toughness, with some reduction in strength. ELI
has been widely used in fracture critical airframe structures and for offshore tubulars. Work is continuing to
optimize mechanical properties through processing and heat treatment.
Only ASTM F 136 and 1472 are Standard Specifications for Wrought Titanium-6Aluminum-4Vanadium ELI (Extra
Low Interstitial) Alloy for Surgical Implant Applications.
The above Grade 5 and 23 are listed in the Industrial Specification of ASTM B 265 (flats) and B 348 (Rounds).
