Titanium alloy rod TI 3AL 2.5 V

platesheetgrade 5

Titanium Grade 9 is sometimes referred to as 'half 6-4'. This alloy of titanium with 3% aluminium and 2.5% vanadium offers 20 to 50% greater mechanical strength than the commercially pure (CP) titanium grades, but is more formable and weldable than Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5). INCREASED PALLADIUM Titanium Grade 18 (UNS R56322) is identical to Grade 9 in all respects with the exception of the additional 0.04 – 0.08% palladium to increase corrosion resistance. Titanium Grades 9 and 18 have a density of 4.48 g/cc - less than 60% that of steel. CORROSION RESISTANCE This material offers good corrosion resistance in oxidising, neutral and mildly reducing media, including chlorides. Titanium Grade 18 with the addition of palladium offers greater resistance to corrosion. The alloy resists oxidation up to 600°F (316°C). TYPICAL APPLICATIONS Commercial applications for this engineering material include: Tubing in aircraft and hydraulic systemsCorrosion resistant pipes and vesselsRecreational products - golf clubs shafts, tennis racquets, bicycle framesOffshore Oil & Gas EquipmentFoil in honey-comb We stock Grade 9 in a variety of shapes.
