TA6V Titanium Bars - An Overview

TA6V, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, is a titanium alloy that contains 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium. It is one of the most commonly used titanium alloys and has many applications in the aerospace, medical, and other industries.

TA6V offers an excellent combination of high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. Some key properties and applications of TA6V titanium bars include:

High strength - TA6V has a tensile strength of around 130,000 psi, which is significantly higher than commercially pure titanium. This makes it suitable for highly loaded applications. titanium rod grade 5

Lightweight - With a density of 4.43 g/cm3, TA6V titanium is nearly 50% lighter than steel and 60% lighter than nickel alloys. This makes it ideal for reducing weight in aircraft, prosthetics, and other components.

Corrosion resistance - The addition of aluminum improves corrosion resistance compared to pure titanium. TA6V can withstand exposure to saltwater and other harsh environments. Gr5 Titanium Bar

Biocompatibility - TA6V has high biocompatibility and is used to make surgical implants like hip joints that integrate well with the body.

Aerospace applications - Landing gear, turbine blades, and other critical components are made from TA6V due to its strength, temperature resistance, and lightweight properties.

Medical uses - Surgical tools, implants, and prosthetics utilize TA6V titanium for its combination of mechanical properties and biocompatibility.

TA6V is available in bar, sheet, plate, wire and other mill product forms to suit various manufacturing and fabrication needs. Its unique properties make it a versatile and commonly used titanium alloy for critical, high-performance applications.
