Rison Titanium GR5 Titanium Alloy – Technical Overview

GR5 (Grade 5) is the most widely used titanium alloy, with a nominal composition of Ti-6Al-4V 

(6% aluminum, 4% vanadium). What’s more, It is an alpha-beta (α-β) alloy that offers an

excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and lightweight properties and so on.

1. Composition & Standards

ElementContent (wt%)Role
Titanium (Ti)BalanceBase material
Aluminum (Al)5.5–6.75%Strengthens α-phase, improves creep resistance
Vanadium (V)3.5–4.5%Stabilizes β-phase, enhances workability
Iron (Fe)≤0.30%Impurity control
Oxygen (O)≤0.20%Affects ductility and strength

International Standards:

  • ASTM B348 (Bar, wire and so on)
  • AMS 4928 (Aerospace grade)
  • ISO 5832-3 (Medical implants)

2. Key Properties

PropertyValueComparison
Density4.43 g/cm³43% lighter than steel
Tensile Strength900–1100 MPa (annealed)Comparable to high-strength steel
Yield Strength830–950 MPaHigher than stainless steel 316L
Elongation10–15%Good ductility
Corrosion ResistanceExcellent (seawater, chlorine, body fluids)Better than stainless steel
Max Service Temp.400°C (long-term)Lower than nickel alloys

3. Applications

  • Aerospace: Jet engine components, airframe structures (e.g., Boeing 787 uses ~15% Ti).
  • Medical: Hip implants, bone screws (biocompatible).
  • Marine: Submarine hulls, offshore piping.
  • Automotive: High-performance connecting rods, suspension parts.
  • Industrial: Chemical processing equipment.

4. Processing Notes

  • Machining: Low thermal conductivity requires slow speeds and sharp tools.
  • Welding: Requires argon shielding (TIG preferred).
  • Heat Treatment:
    • Annealing: 700–800°C (stress relief).
    • Solution Treatment + Aging: Increases strength (for critical parts).

5. Advantages vs. Other Titanium Grades

GradeCompositionProsCons
GR5 (Ti-6Al-4V)6Al-4VBest all-around performanceModerate cost
GR2 (Commercially Pure Ti)99% TiExcellent corrosion resistanceLow strength (~350 MPa)
GR23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI)Extra-low interstitialsSuperior toughness (medical use)Higher cost

6. Why Choose GR5 Titanium?

✔ High strength-to-weight ratio (ideal for weight-sensitive designs).
✔ Excellent corrosion resistance (outperforms stainless steel).
✔ Biocompatibility (safe for medical implants).
