We Sell 6AL-4V ELI (Gr 23) Titanium in rod, sheet, and cut plate.

6Al-4V ELI is one of the most widely used Titanium alloys in the medical industry. It is certified to ASTM F136, and commonly referred to as implant grade 6-4 Titanium. It's properties of biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, high strength, and toughness make it especially suitable for implants and other medical devices.

The main difference between Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) and Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) is that in ELI (Extra Low Interstitials) the maximum oxygen content is lowered to 0.13%. This gives the material an improved fracture toughness.

Among it's uses in the medical industry are:

  • Orthopedic implants
  • Bone and Joint Replacement
  • Dental root implants
  • Surgical Clips
  • Cryogenic Vessels

6AL-4V ELI is also referred to as:

  • Grade 23 Titanium
  • ASTM F136
