Titanium Alloys Titanium Alloys Supplier & Features Titanium Alloys Titanium Alloys are known for their remarkable strength, making them a top choice in various industries. In comparison to other metals, titanium boasts an impressive balance of density and tensile strength. At Stainless Shapes, we are a trusted distributor of top-quality titanium products. Whereas, we have products ranging from medical and marine to aerospace and automotive. Titanium alloys are a mixture of titanium, aluminum, vanadium, iron, and other chemical elements. The elements added to titanium can enhance certain characteristics of the product, making them suitable for a particular application. Titanium mixed with other metals results in titanium alloys with high tensile strength and low density, making them lightweight yet remarkably durable. Our inventory includes a wide range of titanium alloys in various grades and sizes. Furthermore, all of these strict domestic and DFAR compliance standards. Moreover, as an ISO 9001:2008 certified company, we ensure all of our products adhere to MIL-Q-985, MIL-I-A-45208A, and ANSI/NCSL Z540-I-1994 quality requirements. In addition to offering mill products such as plate, sheet, coil, strip, foil, bar, wire, and billet, our experienced team can help you find the right titanium steel alloy solution for your specific application. Titanium Alloy Grades Available: 3AL-2.5V – Good mix of formability and strength 6AL-4V – High strength, light weight, easily formable titanium steel alloy. Therefore it is perfect for corrosion resistant 6AL- 4V ELI – Very low interstitial version of 6AL-4V. However, excellent fracture toughness 6AL-4V STA –– (Solution Treated and Aged) is a heat treated version of Ti 6Al-4V with higher strength. Furthermore, Ti-6Al-4V steel titanium alloy has excellent hardenability. 6AL/6V/2SN – Higher strength alternative to 6AL-4V 6AL/2SN/4ZR/2MO – Best used at elevated temperatures. In addition, resistance up to 800 deg F 15V-3Cr-35N-3Al – Great cold formability. Moreover, highly heat-treatable grade CP-GR 1 – High level of purity. In addition to the lowest strength and best ductility CP-GR 2 – High resistance to corrosion CP-GR 3 – More tolerable oxygen level, with higher minimum strength requirements CP-GR 4 – Highest strength. At the same time, moderate formability Stainless Shapes is also proud to offer a wide range of titanium alloys in different grades so that you can choose the ideal material for your project. Our team of experts will work with you to understand your needs and recommend the most suitable titanium steel alloy for your specific application.

Call - 800-748-9811 Frequently Asked Questions What is 1 lb of titanium worth? + Titanium commands premium value -- commercial grades range from approximately $10-30 per pound depending on alloy, form, and quantity. Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) commands a premium over Grade 2 commercially pure titanium. Contact Stainless Shapes for current pricing on specific titanium grades and dimensions. How much is a 10 oz bar of titanium worth? + A 10-ounce bar of titanium at current commercial prices (approximately $10-20/lb for Grade 2 bar) would be worth roughly $6-13 at material cost. The exact value depends on the specific grade, form, and whether it is new or scrap. Is titanium worth anything at the scrap yard? + Yes, titanium scrap has real market value -- typically $2-8/lb for clean turnings and $4-10/lb for solid scrap, depending on grade and market conditions. Titanium scrap is valued separately from steel scrap due to its high per-pound worth. What is the cost of 1 oz of titanium? + Titanium is priced per pound in commercial quantities. At approximately $10-20/lb for Grade 2 or $15-30+/lb for Grade 5, the per-ounce equivalent is roughly $0.60-$1.90/oz -- far less expensive than precious metals but significantly more than stainless steel. Is titanium costly than gold? + Titanium alloys are used in aerospace structures (airframes, engine components), medical implants (orthopedic and dental), marine hardware, chemical processing equipment, offshore oil and gas components, sports equipment (bicycle frames, golf clubs), and high-performance automotive parts. How much is 5 pounds of titanium worth today? + The most widely used titanium alloys are Grade 2 (commercially pure, best corrosion resistance), Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V, the most widely produced alloy), Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI, medical grade), and Grade 9 (Ti-3Al-2.5V, used in tubing and aerospace). Stainless Shapes distributes Grade 2 and Grade 5 titanium. Is titanium stronger than steel? + Titanium Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) has a tensile strength of approximately 130-140 ksi -- comparable to 17-4 PH stainless in H1025 condition. However, titanium weighs only 0.163 lb/in3 versus 0.289 lb/in3 for stainless, giving titanium a significantly better strength-to-weight ratio for weight-critical applications. How heavy is 1 pound of titanium? + Yes, titanium can be welded using TIG (GTAW) in a fully inert atmosphere (argon back-purged and shielded). Titanium is highly reactive with oxygen and nitrogen at welding temperatures, so complete shielding of the weld pool and heat-affected zone is essential. Do people invest in titanium? + Stainless Shapes distributes titanium in Grade 2 (commercially pure, excellent corrosion resistance) and Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V, maximum strength-to-weight ratio). Both are available in round bar, flat bar, plate, and other forms with full material certifications. What are the disadvantages of titanium alloy? + Grade 2 (commercially pure titanium, UNS R50400) has excellent corrosion resistance in seawater and oxidizing acids, but lower strength (~50-70 ksi tensile). Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V, UNS R56400) adds aluminum and vanadium for significantly higher strength (~130-140 ksi), making it the aerospace and structural standard.
