Description
Technical Parameters
Products Description
Titanium Grade 5 round rod is solid cylindrical bar stock made from Ti-6Al-4V, the most widely used alpha-beta titanium alloy. It occupies over 50% of global titanium alloy consumption.
Titanium Grade 5 round rod is the most widely used alpha-beta titanium alloy bar. Its chemical composition contains 6% aluminum and 4% vanadium as main alloy elements, processed into solid cylindrical round bar stock via forging, rolling, drawing or extrusion. It balances high strength, low density, excellent corrosion resistance and good machinability.
RUIHANG focus on titanium and titanium alloy products, with 13 years of deep experience in Grade5 titanium products. Our technical team supports material selection, heat treatment, machining advice and customized solutions. Full understanding of international standards: ASTM B348, AMS 4928, GB/T 2965, DIN standards.

Manufacturing Process of Titanium Grade 5 Round Rods
1.Raw Material Compounding and Electrode Fabrication
High-purity titanium sponge is blended with aluminum and vanadium alloys in standard ratios, then pressed and welded into integrated electrodes for melting.
2.Vacuum Arc Remelting and Ingot Casting
High-vacuum VAR melting (double or triple times) removes impurities and avoids composition segregation, producing dense and uniform titanium alloy ingots.
3.Hot Forming and Precision Cold Processing
Billets are shaped to target sizes by hot rolling or rotary swaging. Precision small rods adopt cold drawing with intermediate annealing for high dimensional accuracy and smooth surface.
4.Professional Heat Treatment
Two mainstream heat treatments are applied based on usage demands. Annealing delivers balanced mechanical properties, while solution and aging treatment significantly enhances structural strength for high-load working scenarios.
5.Finishing, Inspection and Packaging
Rods are straightened, ground, cut and deburred. They pass strict non-destructive, chemical and mechanical tests before final packaging and delivery.

FAQ about Titanium Grade 5 Round Rod
01. Is Ti Grade 5 round rod easy to machine?
- Use low cutting speed, abundant coolant to avoid heat buildup
- Sharp carbide tools recommended; avoid high friction to prevent work hardening
- Deep drilling requires peck drilling cycles to clear chips
02. Can it be bent, forged or threaded?
- Forging: Excellent forgeability at 800–950°C for complex component preforms
- Threading: Can be turned for internal/external threads with proper tooling
- Cold bending: Limited ductility; hot bending recommended for large deformation
03. Is Grade 5 titanium rod recyclable?
100% recyclable. Titanium scrap from machining cuttings and offcuts can be remelted and reused without major performance degradation.
04. Any special storage requirements?
Store in dry warehouse; avoid long-term contact with iron/carbon steel to prevent galvanic corrosion. No rust risk itself, but surface scratches should be protected.
