HOME → Our Products → Titanium Grade 23 wire

Titanium Grade 23 Wire is a titanium alloy grade Ti-6Al-4V ELI wire made with stringent specifications on the interstitial element levels like oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and iron. It has the mechanical properties of Ti-6Al-4V and enhanced fracture toughness and ductility compared to ordinary Grade 5 titanium wire. Grade 23 titanium wire is covered under the specification ASTM B863 that applies to titanium and titanium alloy wire and can be used in such applications as demand controlled chemistry, consistent mechanical properties, and resistance to corrosion.

Sachin Steel Centre provides Titanium Grade 23 Wire with the mill test certificate issued for each lot.

Frequently Asked Questions

FAQ – Titanium Grade 23 Wire

What is Titanium Grade 23 Wire?

Titanium Grade 23 Wire is Ti-6Al-4V ELI wire with controlled interstitial chemistry, strength, corrosion resistance, and fracture toughness. ASTM F136 covers specified surgical implant material.

What is the difference between Titanium Grade 23 and Grade 5?

Titanium Grade 23 is the ELI version of Grade 5, with tighter interstitial limits. Ti-6Al-4V ELI wire provides improved ductility and fracture toughness.

What does ELI mean in titanium alloy names?

ELI means Extra Low Interstitial. Ti-6Al-4V ELI wire has tighter limits on oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, and hydrogen to support ductility and toughness.

Is Titanium Grade 23 Wire suitable for medical implants?

Titanium implant-grade wire manufactured to ASTM F136 can be used for specified surgical implant applications, subject to required testing, certification, and application requirements.

What is the minimum tensile strength of Grade 23 titanium wire?

Titanium Grade 23 Wire supplied to applicable ASTM F136 requirements has a minimum tensile strength of 860 MPa, subject to the ordered specification.

What standards apply to Titanium Grade 23 Wire?

ASTM F136 covers wrought Ti-6Al-4V ELI for surgical implants. ISO 5832-3 may also apply to surgical implant material, depending on application requirements.

What sizes of Titanium Grade 23 Wire are available?

Titanium Grade 23 Wire is available in different diameters and dimensions. Required diameter, tolerance, condition, length, and quantity should be specified when requesting availability.

What forms and conditions are available for Grade 23 titanium wire?

Titanium Grade 23 Wire may be supplied as round, shaped, or flat wire in specified conditions such as annealed or drawn, subject to availability.

What is Titanium Grade 23 Wire used for?

Titanium Grade 23 Wire is used for orthopaedic, dental, surgical, aerospace, and precision components where Ti-6Al-4V ELI properties are specified.

Can Titanium Grade 23 Wire be supplied with a Mill Test Certificate?

Yes, Titanium Grade 23 Wire can be supplied with the required material certification. Medical applications should specify applicable testing, traceability, and certification requirements before ordering.
