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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Titanium Grade 5 Round Bars

1. What is Titanium Grade 5 and why is it called Ti-6Al-4V?

Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) is the world's most widely used titanium alloy, accounting for over 50% of global titanium alloy production. The name comes from its composition: 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium added to titanium. This alpha-beta alloy delivers an outstanding combination of high strength (950 MPa minimum), low density (4.43 g/cm³), corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility.

2. What is the difference between ASTM B348 Grade 5 and AMS 4928?

Both specifications cover Ti-6Al-4V round bars. ASTM B348 is generally used for industrial, marine, and medical applications, while AMS 4928 is preferred for aerospace applications. AMS 4928 includes tighter compositional controls, ultrasonic inspection requirements, macro-etch testing, and stricter surface condition standards.

3. What sizes are available for Titanium Grade 5 Round Bars?

Jade Alloys stocks Titanium Grade 5 Round Bars from 3 mm to 800 mm diameter. We also supply hex bars, square bars, flat bars, hollow bars, and threaded bars with custom cutting and machining services. Over 200 size variants are available from ready stock in Mumbai.

4. Is Titanium Grade 5 suitable for medical implants?

Yes. When supplied as ASTM F136 Grade 5 ELI (Extra Low Interstitial), Ti-6Al-4V is one of the most widely used materials for orthopedic implants, dental implants, spinal devices, and cardiovascular applications. Its excellent biocompatibility and corrosion resistance make it ideal for permanent implantation.

5. How does Grade 5 compare with 316L stainless steel?

Titanium Grade 5 significantly outperforms 316L stainless steel in chloride-rich environments such as seawater and brine. It offers superior resistance to pitting, crevice corrosion, and stress corrosion cracking while providing a much higher strength-to-weight ratio.

6. What is the maximum service temperature for Titanium Grade 5?

Titanium Grade 5 maintains useful mechanical properties up to approximately 315°C (600°F) for continuous service. Short-term exposure up to 427°C (800°F) is possible. For temperatures above 315°C, nickel alloys or titanium aluminides are generally preferred.

7. What factors affect Titanium Grade 5 Round Bar pricing?

Pricing depends on diameter, surface finish, heat treatment condition (Annealed or STA), certification requirements (ASTM B348, AMS 4928, ASTM F136), order quantity, and current titanium market prices. Contact Jade Alloys for same-day quotations and stock availability.

8. Can Titanium Grade 5 be welded?

Yes. Grade 5 is readily weldable using GTAW (TIG) welding with ERTi-5 filler metal. Complete shielding with argon or helium is required during welding and cooling to prevent contamination from oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen.

9. What certifications are supplied with Titanium Grade 5 bars?

Standard documentation includes EN 10204 3.1 MTC, Certificate of Conformance, Chemical Analysis Report, Mechanical Test Report, Heat Number Traceability, and Country of Origin Certificate. Additional SGS, BV, TÜV, PMI, UT, ET, and DPT reports are available on request.

10. What is the delivery time for Titanium Grade 5 Round Bars?

Ready-stock sizes are typically dispatched within 3 business days from Mumbai. Export transit times range from 5–7 days for the Middle East to approximately 12–18 days for Europe, USA, and Australia. Non-stock sizes generally require 3–6 weeks.

11. What is the difference between Grade 5 and Grade 5 ELI?

Grade 5 ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) has lower oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and iron content than standard Grade 5. This improves ductility, fracture toughness, and fatigue resistance, making it the preferred choice for medical implants and cryogenic service.

12. When should I specify Annealed vs STA Titanium Grade 5?

Annealed Grade 5 is ideal for structural, marine, and medical applications requiring good weldability and formability. Solution Treated & Aged (STA) material offers higher strength (up to 1170 MPa UTS) and is typically specified for aerospace fasteners, structural components, and fatigue-critical applications.
