Related materials
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.
Titanium Grade 4
3.7065The strongest commercially pure titanium grade. Highest oxygen content (0.40% max) for maximum strength among CP grades. UTS min 550 MPa — approaches some Ti alloys. Used for airframe skins, marine hardware, surgical implants, and chemical plant components requiring higher strength than Grade 2.
Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 5 ELI)
3.7165Extra Low Interstitial version of Ti-6Al-4V — the standard titanium for surgical implants. Reduced O, N, C, Fe for improved ductility, fracture toughness, and biocompatibility. Used for hip and knee implants, bone screws, dental implants, spinal fusion devices, and cardiovascular stents. Also called Grade 23.
