BS TA11, TITANIUM 6AL4V BAR | AMS 4928

BS TA11 TITANIUM 6AL4V BAR

6AL4V, also known as titanium alloy 6-4, is a high-performance material which is known for its exceptional strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility. The typical applications of Titanium 6AL4V are aerospace for structural components, motorsport and medical implants.

At its core, 6AL4V is a titanium alloy, composed of titanium alloyed with 6% aluminium and 4% vanadium, the addition of aluminium enhances the alloy's strength and resistance to creep deformation, while vanadium further bolsters its strength and improves its resistance to corrosion and oxidation.

A notable characteristic of the 6AL4V alloy is its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This means that it is particularly well suited for applications where minimizing weight is critical, as is often the case in the aerospace sector. Though relatively lightweight, 6AL4V demonstrates impressive mechanical properties that allow it to endure substantial forces and stresses without any detriment to its structural integrity.

Furthermore, 6AL4V has exceptional corrosion resistance, this characteristic makes it a preferred choice for marine applications, chemical processing equipment, and medical implants, where resistance to bodily fluids and biological environments is essential.

A key attribute of the 6AL4V alloy is its notable biocompatibility. When combined with its impressive strength properties and robust corrosion resistance, this biocompatibility makes 6AL4V highly suitable for biomedical applications. As a result, Ti-6Al-4V is used widely in the production of orthopaedic implants, dental implants, and a diverse range of surgical instrumentation.
