    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is Titanium Grade 5 / Ti-6Al-4V (R56400)?

    Grade 5 is an alpha-beta titanium alloy (~90 Ti, 6 Al, 4 V) - the workhorse high-strength titanium across aerospace, medical, and chemical-process nut per ASTM F467. Tensile 130 ksi min, yield 120 ksi min, elongation 10% min. Roughly 3x stronger than CP titanium with most of titanium's intrinsic corrosion resistance.

    What heat treatment applies to Grade 5 bolts?

    F467 permits annealed or solution-treated + aged (STA) condition. Annealed: tensile 130 ksi, yield 120 ksi, ductile and weld-friendly. STA: tensile 165-170 ksi, yield 155 ksi, used for cold-end aerospace nut and high-fatigue applications. TorqBolt supplies both with full F467 mill certification + heat-treat traceability.

    Is Grade 5 titanium acceptable for medical implant bolting?

    Grade 5 is widely used for surgical implants (orthopedic plates, dental abutments), but for the most biocompatible long-term implants Grade 23 (R56401 - Ti-6Al-4V ELI, extra-low-interstitial) is preferred. Both are F467-covered.

    Sour-service status?

    Yes. R56400 is NACE MR0175-listed. Most Grade 5 oilfield demand is downhole tools and high-strength wellhead fasteners.
