HEAT TREATMENT
- When high hardness, tensile strength, and fatigue strength are paramount, annealing can be performed at 1,700-1,900°F (927 - 1,038°C).
DAXUN 6-4™ Grade 5 alloy offers versatile heat treatment options. - 1. Anneal: 1,275 -1,400°F; (691 - 760°C), ½ to 2 hours, air or furnace cool
- 2. Stress Relief Anneal: 1,000 -1,200°F; (538 - 649°C), 1 to 8 hours, air or furnace cool
- 3. Solution Heat Treat: 1,675 -1,750°F; (913 - 954°C), 1 hour, water quench
- 4. Aging: 975 -1,025°F; (524 - 552°C), 4 to 8 hours - air cool
In the solution-treated and aged condition, rapid quenching of small sections yields optimal properties. For larger sections and/or delayed quenching, properties may be less than optimal.
HARDNESS
Typical hardness in the annealed state is Rockwell C 30-34, and around Rockwell C 35-39 in the solution-treated and aged condition.
Forgeability/Formability
- Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 alloy bar is forged at 1,750°F (954°C) with a final forging temperature of 1,450°F (788°C). A minimum reduction of 35% is recommended for optimal properties.
- Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 alloy bar poses challenges in cold forming, even when annealed. Thus, severe forming operations like bending or stretching should be conducted on annealed material at temperatures up to 1,200°F (649°C) to maintain mechanical integrity. Hot sizing or forming can be achieved via creep forming within 1,000 - 1,200°F (538 - 649°C).
Machinability
Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 alloy bar is machinable using techniques suited for austenitic stainless steel. This includes low machining speeds, high feeds, rigid tooling, and copious non-chlorinated cutting fluids.
Weldability
The Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 alloy rod is highly versatile, offering excellent weldability in both the annealed condition or when solution and partially aged. Aging is effectively achieved during post-weld heat treatment. It is crucial to prevent the contamination of the rod with oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. Fusion welding should be performed in an inert gas-filled chamber or with inert gas to protect the molten metal and adjacent heated zones, typically using a tail shield. Spot, seam, and flash welding are also possible without a protective atmosphere.
Special Considerations
The Ti-6Al-4V, Grade 5 titanium alloy rod is susceptible to contamination with hydrogen from improper pickling and with oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon during processes like forging, heat treating, and brazing. Such contamination can decrease ductility, leading to increased notch sensitivity and compromised forming characteristics.

Grade 2 Titanium Rod
Corrosion resistance
Titanium should not be used with strong reducing acids, fluoride solutions, pure oxygen, or anhydrous ***.
General corrosion
The general corrosion rates for Grade 2 titanium in a variety of media are shown in Table 1. CP titanium exhibits good corrosion resistance to a wide variety of environments including:
- Seawater and brines
- Inorganic salts
- Moist *** gas
- Alkaline solutions
- Oxidizing acids
- Organics and organic acids
- Sulfur compounds
Crevice corrosion
CP titanium exhibits good resistance to crevice corrosion in salt solutions compared to stainless steels. CP titanium will not exhibit crevice corrosion at temperatures under 80 °C ( 176°F) regardless of pH, even under super chlorinated conditions.
Stress corrosion cracking
Grade 2 titanium shows excellent resistance to stress corrosion (SCC) cracking in hot chloride solutions and is immune to sec in seawater.
Erosion corrosion
Titanium shows excellent resistance to erosion in flowing
seawater with velocities up to 130 ft/sec ( 40 m/sec) showing negligible effect on the material. The presence of abrasive particles, such as sand, has only a small effect on corrosion.
Hydrogen embrittlement
There is no significant absorption of hydrogen into titanium exposed to seawater, even at higher temperatures. Normally hydrogen absorption occurs only when the three following conditions are met:
- pH is < 3 or > 12
- Temperature is above l 76F (80C)
- A mechanism exists for hydrogen generation such as a galvanic couple or impressed current.
Bio-corrosion
Titanium alloys exhibit an exceptional resistance to all types of microbiologically influenced corrosion. Their non-toxic nature towards marine organisms means biofouling can occur in seawater, but this can be effectively minimized through chlorination or by increasing water velocity through the heat exchanger.
Corrosion Fatigue
Titanium uniquely maintains its fatigue performance even when exposed to seawater. Fatigue endurance limits and *** growth rates remain consistent whether in air or seawater, making it a superior material.
Galvanic Corrosion
In the galvanic series, titanium is positioned near the noble end, close to stainless steels, typically acting as the cathode when paired with other metals. This ensures titanium remains unaffected by galvanic corrosion, though it may accelerate corrosion in the other metal. When coupled with noble metals like graphite, titanium's passivity is further enhanced.
Fatigue Properties
Grade 2 Titanium Rod stands out by maintaining its fatigue properties in seawater. Both fatigue endurance limits and *** growth rates stay the same, whether tested in air or seawater, ensuring its durability.
Weldability
CP2 Grade Titanium Rod boasts excellent weldability provided the necessary precautions are taken. Due to titanium's reactivity, an inert gas shield must be applied to both the OD and ID of the rod. The material should also be devoid of any grease or oil contaminants.
Grade 2 Titanium Rod is usually welded using manual or automatic TIG welding, with or without filler wire. To minimize the size of the heat-affected zone, a low heat input is recommended. Post-weld heat treatment is typically not required.
