Titanium alloy 6AL4V
6AL4V material is a specific titanium alloy that is manufactured according to ASTM B265 and ASTM F136. It is also sometimes referred to as Ti-6Al-4V or Grade 5. This alloy is one of the most widely used types of titanium due to its exceptional properties. Here is some key information about 6AL4V material:
Composition:
6AL4V means that the alloy contains 6% aluminium (Al) and 4% vanadium (V). These additions contribute to the improved strength and corrosion resistance of titanium.
Temperature resistance:
Titanium alloy 6AL4V has good temperature resistance, which means it can operate at high temperatures. This property is important in industries such as aerospace and energy.
Biocompatibility:
6AL4V is biocompatible, making it a suitable material for surgical implants such as orthopedic implants and dental restorations.
Processability:
Titanium alloy 6AL4V is highly processable and can be used for a variety of manufacturing techniques including machining, welding and forming.
Due to its properties and advantages, 6AL4V is widely used in the aerospace, medical, sports equipment and many other industries where a combination of high strength, low weight and corrosion resistance is required.
