TA6V is a titanium alloy made up of 90% titanium, 6% aluminum, and 4% vanadium. There are different versions of this alloy with slightly different compositions, including the TA6V-ELI (Extra Low Interstitial) variant which has reduced interstitial elements for improved ductility and toughness.
Ti-6Al-4V (TA6V material) and Ti-6Al-4V ELI (TA6V ELI) are both popular titanium alloys that possess excellent mechanical properties. Here are the composition and mechanical properties of both alloys in different forms:
TA6V Composition: 6% Aluminum, 4% Vanadium, Balance Titanium
TA6V Mechanical Properties:
Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS): 880 - 1100 MPa (depending on the form)
Yield Strength: 830 - 1000 MPa (depending on the form)
Elongation: 10 - 25% (depending on the form)
Modulus of Elasticity: 110 - 120 GPa
Density: 4.43 - 4.51 g/cc (depending on the form)
TA6V ELI Composition: 6% Aluminum, 4% Vanadium, 0.13% - 0.20% Interstitial Elements (Oxygen, Nitrogen, Carbon, Hydrogen), Balance Titanium
TA6V ELI Mechanical Properties:
Ultimate Tensile Strength (UTS): 880 - 1100 MPa (depending on the form)
Yield Strength: 830 - 1000 MPa (depending on the form)
Elongation: 10 - 25% (depending on the form)
Modulus of Elasticity: 110 - 120 GPa
Density: 4.43 - 4.51 g/cc (depending on the form)
Mechanical properties of TA6V include high strength-to-weight ratio, good corrosion resistance, and excellent biocompatibility for medical applications. For example, at room temperature TA6V has a tensile strength of around 900 MPa, a yield strength of around 800 MPa, and an elongation at break of around 15%.
Overall, TA6V is a highly versatile and sought-after material due to its unique combination of physical and mechanical properties.
