Titanium Grade 5 : Titanium alloy. 6% aluminium, 4% vanadium. Grade 5 is the most widely used titanium alloy. It has very high strength but relatively low ductility. The main application of this alloy is in aircraft and spacecraft. Offshore use is growing. The alloy is weldable and can be precipitation hardened.

What is Titanium Grade 5, Ti-6Al-4V , UNS R56400 Alloy?
Ti-6Al-4V alloy is the most widely used titanium alloy of the alpha-plus-beta class, and is also the most common of all titanium alloys. The alloy is castable and is utilized “as cast” in sporting goods. The wrought material is used in aerospace, medical, and other applications where moderate strength, good strength to weight, and favorable corrosion properties are required.
Ti 6Al/4V is the most widely used of all the alpha-beta titanium alloys accounting for more than 50% of total titanium usuage. It is typically used in the annealed condition, at service temperatures through 400°C (750°F). Ti 6Al/4V is welded with matching or with ELI filler wire.
Ti 6Al/4V is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti. Amongst its many advantages, it is heat treatable.
This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability. In consequence, its uses are numerous such as for military aircraft or turbines. It is also used in surgical implants. Generally, it is used in applications up to 400°C to improve ductility and toughness in cold-worked condition.
