Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy Wire Description
Ti-6Al-4V Titanium Alloy Wire is one of the most popular alloys in the titanium industry and makes up almost half of the titanium used in the world. It features high-strength, good corrosion resistance, good weldability, and low elasticity modulus. It consists of 6% Al, 4% V, and balanced Ti. The addition of Al and V deeply improves titanium’s physical and mechanical properties.
