Titanium 6AL-4V Sheet, Bar, and Tubing

Titanium 6AL-4V Sheet can be welded in the annealed condition or in the solution-treated and partially aged condition, with aging completed during postweld stress relieving. In contrast to unalloyed titanium and the alpha alloys, which can be strengthened only by cold work, Titanium 6AL-4V Sheet can be strengthened by heat treatment. The low weld ductility of most Titanium 6AL-4V Sheet is caused by phase transformation in the weld zone or in the HAZ. Titanium 6AL-4V Sheet can be welded autogenously or with various filler metals.

Titanium 6AL-4V Bar

It is common to weld some of the lower alloyed materials with matching filler metals. Filler metal of an equivalent grade or one grade lower than Titanium 6AL-4V Bar is used to ensure good weld strength and ductility. Filler metal of matching composition is used to weld Titanium 6AL-4V Bar. This extra low-interstitial (ELI) grade Titanium 6AL-4V Bar improves ductility and toughness. The use of filler metals that improve ductility may not prevent embrittlement of the Titanium 6AL-4V Bar in susceptible alloys. In addition, Titanium 6AL-4V Bar can be embrittled by hydride precipitation.

Titanium 6AL-4V Tubing

However, with proper joint preparation, filler-metal storage, and shielding, hydride precipitation of Titanium 6AL-4V Tubing can be avoided. Titanium 6AL-4V Tubing is weldable in the annealed or solution heat treated condition. In the as-welded condition, welds are 1ow in strength but ductile. Titanium 6AL-4V Tubing weldments are sometimes used in the as-welded condition. Welds in the Titanium 6AL-4V embrittle more severely when age hardened. To obtain full strength, the metastable beta alloys are welded in the annealed condition; the weld is cold worked by planishing, and the weldment is then solution treated and aged.

We also have Titanium Beta 21S Foil and Titanium Beta 21S Coil.
