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
Element | Content (wt%) | Role |
---|---|---|
Titanium (Ti) | Balance | Base 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
Property | Value | Comparison |
---|---|---|
Density | 4.43 g/cm³ | 43% lighter than steel |
Tensile Strength | 900–1100 MPa (annealed) | Comparable to high-strength steel |
Yield Strength | 830–950 MPa | Higher than stainless steel 316L |
Elongation | 10–15% | Good ductility |
Corrosion Resistance | Excellent (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
Grade | Composition | Pros | Cons |
---|---|---|---|
GR5 (Ti-6Al-4V) | 6Al-4V | Best all-around performance | Moderate cost |
GR2 (Commercially Pure Ti) | 99% Ti | Excellent corrosion resistance | Low strength (~350 MPa) |
GR23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) | Extra-low interstitials | Superior 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).
