This alpha-beta alloy is the workhorse alloy of the titanium industry. Titanium grade 5 has good tensile properties at ambient temperature and a useful creep resistance up to 300°C. Resistance to fatigue and crack propagation is excellent. Like most titanium alloys, Grade 5 has outstanding resistance to corrosion in most natural and many industrial process environments.It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties. Among its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade has an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability.
Applications
Titanium grade 5 is very often used in offshore and subsea oil and gas applications, and in general within the oil industry. It is also frequently used within the aerospace industry for a range of applications, as well as within the marine industry. Both aerospace and automotive manufacturers count on titanium grade 5 for engine components, and it is widely used in the power generation industry. This titanium alloy is also frequently used within the medical field, particularly for instruments and prosthetics, and even within the human body, in the form of surgical implants.
