Titanium Grade 5 Sheets & Plates

Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) Sheet, Plate and Strip to ASTM B265

Dinesh Tube India supplies and exports titanium Grade 5 sheets and plates from Mumbai. Grade 5, also called Ti-6Al-4V (UNS R56400, Werkstoff 3.7165), is supplied as sheet, strip and plate to ASTM B265 / ASME SB265, with AMS 4911 material on request, in the annealed condition with EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificates.

Grade 5 is the most widely used titanium alloy. With 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium it is about 2.6 times as strong as Grade 2 while weighing about 45% less than steel. It is chosen for strength-to-weight, not for chemical corrosion service. For corrosion-resistant plate, see Grade 12 and Grade 7, or all grades on our titanium sheets and plates page.

Corrosion Resistance of Grade 5

Grade 5 resists seawater, marine atmospheres and many oxidising media much like commercially pure titanium. It is less resistant than Grade 2, 7 or 12 in reducing acids and hot-chloride crevices, so it is not the usual choice for chemical-plant linings, exchangers or piping. Like all titanium, it is not suitable for hydrofluoric acid or dry chlorine gas.

Grade 5 Sheet Weight Calculation

Weight (kg) = Length (m) × Width (m) × Thickness (mm) × 4.43

For example, a 2000 × 1000 × 3 mm Grade 5 sheet weighs about 2 × 1 × 3 × 4.43 = 26.6 kg. Grade 5 is slightly lighter than CP titanium (4.51 g/cm³).

Fabrication Notes

  •   Forming: cold forming is limited and needs generous bend radii; hot forming is often used for tighter shapes. Allow for spring-back.
  •   Machining: low cutting speeds, sharp carbide tools, rigid set-ups and plenty of coolant; avoid rubbing, which work-hardens the surface.
  •   Welding: GTAW with full argon shielding and back purge, using ERTi-5 filler (or ERTi-23 where higher weld ductility is needed).
  •   Heat treatment: supplied mill annealed; stress relieving and solution treating and ageing are possible but change the properties, so follow your drawing.

Titanium Grade 5 Sheet & Plate Applications

  •   Aerospace structural parts (AMS 4911 material)

Titanium Grade 5 Sheets & Plates: FAQs

What is titanium Grade 5?

Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V, UNS R56400, Werkstoff 3.7165) is a titanium alloy with about 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium. It is the most widely used titanium alloy and offers the highest strength-to-weight ratio of the common grades.

Which standard covers Grade 5 sheet and plate?

Industrial Grade 5 sheet, strip and plate is supplied to ASTM B265 / ASME SB265. Aerospace sheet and plate is ordered to AMS 4911, which has higher minimums for thin sheet and extra test requirements.

What is the difference between Grade 5 and Grade 23?

Grade 23 is Ti-6Al-4V ELI (extra low interstitial). It has lower oxygen and iron limits, giving better toughness and ductility, and is used for medical implants and fracture-critical parts. Grade 5 is stronger and is the standard grade for industrial and aerospace parts.

Is titanium Grade 5 stronger than Grade 2?

Yes. Grade 5 has a minimum tensile strength of 895 MPa and yield strength of 828 MPa, about 2.6 times that of Grade 2 (345 / 275 MPa). Grade 2 is easier to form and weld and is preferred for corrosion service.

Is Grade 5 good for corrosion service?

Grade 5 resists seawater and marine atmospheres well, but it is less resistant than Grade 2, 7 or 12 in reducing acids and hot-chloride crevices. For chemical-plant equipment, Grade 2, 12 or 7 is usually chosen.

What is the price of titanium Grade 5 plate?

The price depends on thickness, size, specification (ASTM B265 or AMS 4911), cutting, quantity and certification. Send your requirement to kamlesh@dineshtube-india.com or call +91 83559 10913 for a current quote.

Which certificates come with Grade 5 sheets and plates?

Every supply comes with an EN 10204 3.1 mill test certificate showing heat number, chemical analysis and mechanical properties to the ordered specification. EN 10204 3.2 certificates and third-party inspection can be arranged on request.
