Titanium Alloys
Titanium is a lustrous, white metal. It has a low density, good strength, is easily fabricated, and has excellent corrosion resistance. It is ductile only when it is free of oxygen. Titanium is as strong as steel, but it is lighter. The metal is heavier than aluminum, but it is twice as strong.

Ti-6Al-4V, Titanium Grade 5 alloy (UNS R56400) is the most widely used titanium grade. It is a two phase α+β titanium alloy, with aluminum as the alpha stabilizer and vanadium as the beta stabilizer. This high-strength alloy can be used at cryogenic temperatures to about 800°F (427°C). Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 alloy is used in the annealed condition and in the solution treated and aged condition. Some applications include: compressor blades, discs, and rings for jet engines; airframe and space capsule components; pressure vessels; rocket engine cases; helicopter rotor hubs; fasteners; critical forgings requiring high strength-to-weight ratios. This alloy is produced by primary melting using vacuum arc (VAR), electron beam (EB), or plasma arc hearth melting (PAM). Remelting is achieved by one or two vacuum arc steps.
