Titanium Alloys: 3.7165 – UNS R56401- Titanium Gr5 – Ti6Al4V: Chemical Composition and Properties

3.7165 - R56401 - Titanium Gr V - Ti6Al4V

Commercially pure titanium belongs to the group of reactive metals. It provides a very favorable strength-to-density ratio. Depending on the concentration of interstitial elements, Titanium shows good ductility and manufacturing properties. This, combined with good corrosion resistance and creep strength, covers a wide range of applications.

Application : chemical industry, aerospace industry,medical engineering-because of their outstanding boicompatibility.

Corrosion Testing

Due to the formation of a dense oxide layer TiAl6V4 provides good corrosion resistance in an oxidizing environment. In case of damage the new growth of the oxide layer occurs immediately, if oxygen is present.

Welding

TiAl6V4 is welded with matching filler metal or those of commercially pure Titanium. Suitable welding techniques are gas tungsten arc (GTAW) and gas metal arc (GMAW). For example Argon of 99,999 % purity should be used.

Titanium Alloy

General Information

Titanium is a white metal, and has the best strength to weight ratio among the metals. Titanium is very reactive, and because of this it is often used for alloying and deoxidizing other metals. Titanium is a more powerful deoxidizer of steel than silicon or manganese. Titanium is 40% lighter than steel and 60% heavier than aluminum. This combination of high strength and low weight makes titanium a very useful structural metal. Titanium also features excellent corrosion resistance, which stems from a thin oxide surface film which protects it from atmospheric and ocean conditions as well as a wide variety of chemicals.

Fabrication

Titanium is rather difficult to fabricate because of its susceptibility to oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen impurities which cause the titanium to become more brittle. Elevated temperature processing must be used under special conditions in order to avoid diffusion of these gasses into the titanium. Commercially produced titanium products are made in the following mill wrought forms; plate, tubing, sheet, wire, extrusions, and forgings. Titanium can also be cast, which must be done in a vacuum furnace because of titanium's reactive nature.

Applications

Because of its high strength to weight ratio, titanium is used in a variety of applications, including products where weight is of importance such as aircraft, sporting equipment, etc.. Because of its excellent corrosion resistance, titanium is also used for chemical processing, desalination, power generation equipment, valve and pump parts, marine hardware, and prosthetic devices.

Grades


Commercially Pure Alloys:

There are five grades of what is known as commercially pure or unalloyed titanium, ASTM Grades 1 through 4, and 7. Each grade has a different amount of impurity content, with Grade 1 being the most pure. Tensile strengths vary from 172 MPa for Grade 1 to 483 MPa for Grade 4.

Alpha Alloys:

Titanium alpha alloys are alloys that typically contain aluminum and tin, though they can also contain molybdenum, zirconium, nitrogen, vanadium, columbium, tantalum, and silicon. Alpha alloys do not generally respond to heat treatment, but they are weldable and are commonly used for cryogenic applications, airplane parts, and chemical processing equipment.

Alpha-Beta Alloys:

Alpha-beta alloys can be strengthened by heat treatment and aging, and therefore can undergo manufacturing while the material is still ductile, then undergo heat treatment to strengthen the material, which is a big advantage. The alloys are used in aircraft and aircraft turbine parts, chemical processing equipment, marine hardware, and prosthetic devices.

Beta Alloys:

The smallest group of titanium alloys, beta alloys have good hardenability, good cold formability when they are solution-treated, and high strength when they are aged. Beta alloys are slightly more dense than other titanium alloys, having densities ranging from 4840 to 5060 kg/m3. They are the least creep resistant alloys, they are weldable, and can have yield strengths up to 1345 MPa. They are used for heavier duty purposes on aircraft.
