Description
Ti6Al4V (5 grade or 23 grade) is titanium alloy mostly used for medical needs, which amount to 80% of this application. These alloys are well known for their high strength and weight ratio, as well as they have great resistance to corrosion. The remaining part is used in the industries of defence, marine, space, racing cars, chemistry and other industries.
