Description
Ti Gr.5 (UNS R56400)
This alloy is used to make more than half of all titanium products in the world, either by casting or by using a powder metal or hot forming process. Because of how they were made and how they were heated, a lot of different types of products are available. A lot of people work with the alloy in its mill-annealed (soft annealed) state, which is what gives it the best combination of strength, toughness, and ductility. But only in thicknesses of (wall) thicknesses up to 25 mm.
Titanium Grade 5 is made of a Ti6Al4V alloy, which is known for having good mechanical properties such as low density, high strength, and good corrosion resistance. The alloy is lighter than superalloys and steels, and it has better fatigue resistance than other light alloys. There is a certain amount of anisotropy in the parts because of the layer-by-layer method of building. Heat treatment is recommended to reduce internal stress and make the material more ductile.
