Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23)
R56401Extra Low Interstitial version of Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) — the gold standard for surgical implants. Reduced O (≤0.13%), Fe (≤0.25%), and C (≤0.08%) versus Grade 5 enhance ductility, fracture toughness, and fatigue strength with some strength reduction. Biocompatible (ASTM F136), MRI-compatible, and spontaneously passivating. Used for orthopedic implants (hip/knee replacements, spinal fixation), dental implants, bone plates/screws, aerospace structural components requiring high damage tolerance, and cryogenic vessels down to -320°C. W.Nr. 3.7165.

Related materials
Titanium Grade 1
3.7025The softest and most ductile commercially pure titanium grade. Lowest O content (0.18% max) for maximum formability. Used for plate heat exchangers, chemical plant vessels, explosive cladding, deep-drawn parts, and anodizing applications. Lower strength than Grade 2 but superior formability.
Titanium Grade 4
3.7065The strongest commercially pure titanium grade. Highest oxygen content (0.40% max) for maximum strength among CP grades. UTS min 550 MPa — approaches some Ti alloys. Used for airframe skins, marine hardware, surgical implants, and chemical plant components requiring higher strength than Grade 2.
Ti Grade 9 / Ti-3Al-2.5V
3.7195Medium-strength alpha-beta titanium alloy — the standard for seamless tubing. 50% stronger than CP Grade 2 with better cold formability than Ti-6Al-4V. The go-to alloy for hydraulic tubing in aerospace and bicycle frames. Used for aircraft hydraulic lines, offshore risers, and sporting goods.
