What Are Titanium Grade 23 Wires?

Titanium Grade 23 wires, also known as Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitials), are a high-purity titanium alloy variant of Grade 5. Grade 23 is engineered with enhanced ductility, fatigue strength, and corrosion resistance, particularly suitable for biomedical and high-performance industrial applications.

The alloy contains 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, and trace amounts of iron and oxygen, providing an excellent balance of strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness. The ELI version (Extra Low Interstitials) reduces interstitial impurities such as oxygen, carbon, nitrogen, and iron, making the wires biocompatible and highly suitable for implants and surgical devices.

Titanium Grade 23 wires combine the mechanical strength of Ti-6Al-4V with enhanced fatigue resistance, making them ideal for aerospace, marine, chemical, and medical industries.

Key Features of Titanium Grade 23 Wires

  • Excellent corrosion resistance in seawater, oxidizing, and reducing chemical environments
  • Biocompatible for medical and surgical applications
  • High tensile strength with superior fatigue resistance
  • Lightweight with high strength-to-weight ratio
  • Exceptional ductility and formability for bending, drawing, and shaping
  • Weldable with inert gas shielding
  • Thermal and dimensional stability under mechanical and environmental stress

These features make Titanium Grade 23 wires ideal for aerospace, marine, chemical, and biomedical industries where durability, corrosion resistance, and biocompatibility are critical.


Chemical Composition of Titanium Grade 23 (%)

Element Composition (%)
Titanium (Ti) Balance (~90–91%)
Aluminum (Al) 5.5–6.75
Vanadium (V) 3.5–4.5
Iron (Fe) 0.25 max
Oxygen (O) 0.13 max
Carbon (C) 0.08 max
Nitrogen (N) 0.03 max
Hydrogen (H) 0.015 max

Role of Key Elements

  • Titanium: Provides corrosion resistance, strength, and lightweight properties
  • Aluminum: Strengthens the α-phase and enhances mechanical properties
  • Vanadium: Stabilizes the β-phase, improving toughness and fatigue resistance
  • Low interstitials (O, C, N, H): Ensure biocompatibility and superior ductility
  • Iron: Controlled to maintain corrosion resistance and mechanical stability

The low interstitial content makes Grade 23 ideal for biomedical applications while maintaining high strength and fatigue resistance.


Mechanical Properties

  • Tensile Strength: 860 – 950 MPa
  • Yield Strength: 795 – 875 MPa
  • Elongation: 10 – 15%
  • Hardness: 320 – 360 HV
  • Density: 4.43 g/cm³

Titanium Grade 23 wires offer high strength, excellent fatigue resistance, and sufficient ductility for dynamic and structural applications in demanding environments.


Physical Properties

  • Melting Range: 1660 – 1670°C
  • Modulus of Elasticity: 113.8 GPa
  • Thermal Conductivity: 6.7 – 7.2 W/m·K
  • Electrical Resistivity: 0.42 µΩ·m
  • Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 8.9 µm/m°C

These physical properties provide dimensional stability and reliable performance in high-temperature and mechanically stressed applications.


Corrosion Resistance

Titanium Grade 23 wires are highly resistant to:

  • Seawater, brine, and marine atmospheres
  • Oxidizing acids (nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid)
  • Reducing acids and alkalis
  • Industrial chemical environments
  • Stress corrosion cracking

This makes Titanium Grade 23 wires suitable for marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, surgical implants, and aerospace components.


Heat Treatment

Titanium Grade 23 wires are α–β titanium alloy wires and can be strengthened through solution treatment and aging.

Typical Heat Treatment:

  • Solution Annealing: Heat to 800 – 850°C, hold, then water quench
  • Aging: Heat to 480 – 600°C, hold, then air cool

This ensures optimal tensile strength, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance, suitable for high-performance and biomedical applications.


Weldability

Titanium Grade 23 wires are weldable, with proper precautions:

  • TIG (GTAW) welding recommended
  • Shielding with inert gas (argon or helium) to avoid contamination
  • Avoid oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen exposure during welding
  • Post-weld heat treatment may be applied for maximum fatigue performance

Correct welding maintains mechanical integrity and corrosion resistance.


Machinability

Titanium Grade 23 has moderate machinability. Recommended practices:

  • Use sharp carbide or high-speed steel tools
  • Low to moderate cutting speeds
  • Apply adequate coolant to prevent overheating
  • Avoid excessive dwell time to prevent work hardening

Proper machining ensures precision, surface finish, and long-term durability.
