UNS R56407 (Titanium Grade 5 ELI)
Grade 23 is also known as Ti-6Al-4V ELI or simply Ti 6-4 ELI. ELI stands for Extra Low Interstitials. Titanium Grade 23 is very similar to Grade 5 except that Grade 23 has less oxygen, nitrogen and iron. This makes the alloy more ductility and better fracture resistance (but slightly less strength) than Grade 5th Titanium Grade 23 is used, to chemical processes, medical applications and in the aerospace industry
FAQ
What is Titanium Grade 23 used for?
Titanium Grade 23 is used in medical applications, chemical processes, and the aerospace industry.
How does Titanium Grade 23 compare to Grade 5?
Grade 23 has less oxygen, nitrogen, and iron than Grade 5, resulting in improved ductility and fracture resistance, though it has slightly less strength.
What does ELI stand for in Titanium Grade 23?
ELI stands for Extra Low Interstitials, indicating lower levels of interstitial elements in the alloy.
EXPERT ADVICE: When selecting Titanium Grade 23 for applications, consider its superior ductility and fracture resistance, especially in environments where stress and fatigue are concerns.
