INGOTTITANIUM
Ti Gr.5 (Ti-6Al-4V)
Ti Gr.5 (Ti-6Al-4V, UNS R56400) is the most widely used titanium alloy, combining high strength, low density (4.43 g/cm³) and excellent corrosion resistance, with useful strength up to approximately 400°C (750°F). DASM produces Ti-6Al-4V ingots lot by lot through its PAM-ISM hybrid continuous melting process: plasma arc melting refines and alloys the charge, and induction skull melting in a water-cooled copper crucible homogenizes the melt before continuous vertical withdrawal, with no crucible contamination.
Standard ingots measure Ø230 mm × 700-2,800 mm, with chemistry verified by OES, O/N and C/S analysis and full traceability from raw material lot to heat and ingot number. The ingots are suited to R&D, trial melting and qualification programs, and as input stock for VAR remelting, forging and hot rolling; customer approval and downstream validation depend on the application.
