Ti6Al4V(Grade 5)Titanium alloy

It is generally considered that ti-6-al-4-v is the "base" of titanium industry, because it is the most widely used titanium alloy so far, more than 50% of the total amount of titanium. It is a kind of α + β alloy, which can achieve moderate strength through heat treatment. Titanium 6 aluminum 4 vanadium is recommended for use at temperatures not exceeding 350 ° C / 660 ° F. Titanium 6 aluminum 4 vanadium is widely used in aviation industry because of its good hardness, light weight, malleability and corrosion resistance.

Application

Ti-6-al-4-v can be used in low to medium temperature environment, which requires high strength, light weight and excellent corrosion resistance. Such as parts of aircraft turbine engine, structural parts of aircraft, aviation fasteners, high-performance automatic parts, ships, medical equipment and sports equipment.

When exposed to oxygen in air or water, ti-6-al-4-v forms a stable, continuous and tight attached oxide film. This is due to its good corrosion resistance in different media. Titanium 6 aluminum 4 vanadium has excellent corrosion resistance in general corrosive solutions such as seawater, acid oxide, chlorine (in water), rocket propellant and alkali. But in weak acid or dry chlorine, Ti 6 al 4 V is susceptible to general corrosion. Due to the pressure corrosion cracks and corrosion cracks in the environment containing chlorine or other halogen ions, chlorine solvent and cutting oil are usually avoided in titanium processing.

Titanium 6 aluminum 4 vanadium can be hot worked by general methods such as hot drawing, forging and hot pressing.

Although the cold workability of Ti 6 al 4 V is limited, it can also be cold drawn and molded. Cold work is mainly used for bracket and clamp
