What Are Titanium Grade 5 Round Bars (Ti-6Al-4V)?
Titanium Grade 5 Round Bars are manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V, the most widely used titanium alloy in the world, accounting for more than 50% of all titanium alloy production globally. The designation “6Al-4V” reflects the alloy’s precise composition: 6% aluminum (Al) and 4% vanadium (V) added to a pure titanium base, with balance elements including iron, oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen controlled to tight tolerances per ASTM B348.
This alloy belongs to the alpha-beta family of titanium alloys, meaning it contains a stable mix of both the hexagonal close-packed (HCP) alpha phase and the body-centered cubic (BCC) beta phase at room temperature. This dual-phase microstructure is what gives Grade 5 its exceptional combination of strength, toughness, and formability, properties that commercially pure (CP) titanium grades 1–4 cannot achieve individually.

Heat Treatment & Processing Guidelines
Titanium Grade 5 can be heat treated to achieve significantly higher mechanical properties than the standard annealed condition. Jade Alloys supplies bars in various heat treatment conditions and can advise on processing parameters for your application.
Standard Heat Treatment Conditions:
| Condition | Temperature (°C) | Temperature (°F) | Time | Cooling | Typical UTS |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Stress Relief (Annealed) | 480–595°C | 900–1100°F | 1–4 hours | Air cool | 950 MPa |
| Full Anneal | 700–785°C | 1300–1450°F | 1–2 hours | Furnace cool | 930 MPa |
| Duplex Anneal | 900°C + 790°C | 1650°F + 1450°F | 2 hrs each | Air cool | 970 MPa |
| Solution Treat (STA) | 900–955°C | 1650–1750°F | 30–60 min | Water/air quench | 1100–1170 MPa |
| Age (after STA) | 480–510°C | 900–950°F | 4–8 hours | Air cool | 1100–1200 MPa |
Critical Processing Notes:
• Working Temperature: Hot working must be performed above 760°C (1400°F) to avoid oxygen embrittlement. Ideal range is 900–1000°C (1652–1832°F).
• Machining: Grade 5 has poor thermal conductivity — use sharp tooling with positive rake angle +5–8°, surface speed 50–80 m/min roughing / 30–50 m/min finishing, carbide (C2/C3) tooling, and flood coolant with water-soluble oil at minimum 15 L/min. Avoid dry cutting.
• Welding: GTAW (TIG) in argon-shielded environment preferred. Recommended filler metal: ERTi-5 (AWS A5.16 / ASTM B863) matching composition. Filler wire available from Jade Alloys on request. Post-weld stress relief at 480–595°C. Grade 5 is weldable in all positions.
• Post-Fabrication Annealing: Stress-relief anneal at 480–595°C (900–1100°F) for 1–4 hours, air cool, is strongly recommended after forming or welding to reduce residual stress and restore corrosion resistance.
• Avoid Contamination: Titanium reacts with iron at elevated temperatures — keep tools, fixtures, and work surfaces clean and dedicated to titanium.
