Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23)
R56401Extra Low Interstitial version of Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) — the gold standard for surgical implants. Reduced O (≤0.13%), Fe (≤0.25%), and C (≤0.08%) versus Grade 5 enhance ductility, fracture toughness, and fatigue strength with some strength reduction. Biocompatible (ASTM F136), MRI-compatible, and spontaneously passivating. Used for orthopedic implants (hip/knee replacements, spinal fixation), dental implants, bone plates/screws, aerospace structural components requiring high damage tolerance, and cryogenic vessels down to -320°C. W.Nr. 3.7165.

Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5)
3.7164The most widely used titanium alloy — accounts for ~50% of all titanium production. Alpha-beta alloy with exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. Used for jet engine components, airframe structures, medical implants (hip/knee), fasteners, and racing components. Biocompatible.
Titanium Grade 2 (CP)
3.7035The workhorse commercially pure titanium grade. Best balance of strength, ductility, and corrosion resistance among CP grades. Excellent resistance to seawater, chlorides, and oxidizing acids. Used for heat exchangers, chemical processing, marine hardware, desalination, and medical implants.
Titanium Grade 1
3.7025The softest and most ductile commercially pure titanium grade. Lowest O content (0.18% max) for maximum formability. Used for plate heat exchangers, chemical plant vessels, explosive cladding, deep-drawn parts, and anodizing applications. Lower strength than Grade 2 but superior formability.
