Description
What Is Gr6 Titanium?
Gr6 titanium, also known as Ti-5Al-2.5Sn or TA7, is an alpha-phase titanium alloy containing 5% aluminum and 2.5% tin. Unlike commercially pure titanium grades (Gr1–Gr4), Gr6 is a high-strength alloy designed for applications requiring:
Superior strength-to-weight ratio
Excellent weldability
Good stability at elevated temperatures (up to 480°C / 900°F)
High fracture toughness

| Carbon | ≤ 0.10 |
| Nitrogen | ≤ 0.05 |
| Hydrogen | ≤ 0.015 |

Manufacturing: Seamless Tube Production
Gr6 titanium seamless tubes are produced via:
Process Flow:
Billet preparation – Forged and conditioned Ti-5Al-2.5Sn round billet
Rotary piercing – Billet heated to beta transus range (1020–1060°C)
Cold rolling / pilgering – Multiple passes with intermediate annealing
Vacuum annealing – Stress relief and recrystallization
Straightening & cutting
NDT inspection – Ultrasonic or eddy current
Surface finishing – Pickled or ground OD
Size Range:
OD: 6 mm – 114 mm
Wall: 0.5 mm – 10 mm
Length: Up to 12,000 mm (custom cut)

Is Gr6 Right for Your Project?
Choose Gr6 titanium seamless tube if:
Your operating temperature exceeds 300°C continuously
You need aerospace-grade traceability and testing
Weight savings justify higher material cost
You are designing for cryogenic or elevated-temperature service
Choose another grade if:
You are building a seawater heat exchanger
You need ASME code stamping
Your primary concern is chloride corrosion
Budget is constrained
