Columbia Metals has comprehensive stocks of Grade 5/Ti6Al4V titanium alloy. This is the most widely used of all the titanium grades and is supplied in the annealed condition as per the AMS 4928R or BS2TA11 for ease of machinability. This can be strengthened with a relatively simple heat treatment to offer very high mechanical properties. The combination of these good mechanical properties (maintained up to ~400^oC),a low density of 4.42 g/cm³ and a very good corrosion resistance make Ti6Al4V ideal for applications in the aerospace, marine, offshore oil and gas and motorsport industries.

Titanium is a low density, strong, lustrous and corrosion-resistant material with a silvery colouration. It has the highest strength-to-weight ratio of any metal and in its unalloyed condition titanium is as strong as some steels but it is also 45% lighter whilst retaining a good ductility.
