Titanium Alloy Solutions by vastmaterial
At vastmaterial, I specialize in high‑performance titanium alloy components that deliver an exceptional strength‑to‑weight ratio, outstanding corrosion resistance, and proven biocompatibility. By focusing on advanced titanium investment casting, I produce precision titanium castings for complex, high‑value parts such as titanium pump housings, titanium pump impellers, titanium centrifugal pump components, and titanium eccentric ball valve bodies.
My alpha‑beta titanium alloys like Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64, Grade 5 titanium) provide the high strength and low density needed for demanding aerospace, chemical processing, marine, and power applications. These high strength titanium alloys offer:
- Corrosion resistant titanium performance in seawater, chlorides, and aggressive chemicals
- Lightweight titanium alloy components that reduce system weight without sacrificing durability
- Biocompatible titanium alloys suitable for select engineered applications
With tightly controlled casting processes, I achieve near‑net‑shape, repeatable quality on intricate geometries, minimizing machining and lead time while ensuring reliable performance for critical titanium alloy components in the United States market.
Key Benefits of Titanium Alloy
Titanium alloys give you a mix of strength, low weight, and corrosion resistance that’s hard to match. Here’s what you actually gain in real-world use.
High Strength, Low Weight
- High strength-to-weight ratio – similar strength to steel at about 40–45% of the weight
- Ideal when you need lighter pumps, impellers, and valve bodies without giving up performance
- Helps boost energy efficiency in rotating equipment and cuts handling and installation costs
| Property | Titanium Alloy (Ti-6Al-4V) | Typical Stainless Steel (316) |
|---|---|---|
| Density | ~4.43 g/cm³ | ~8.0 g/cm³ |
| Strength-to-weight | Very high | Moderate |
Corrosion Resistant in Harsh Media
Titanium alloys stand up well in aggressive environments:
- Seawater and brackish water – excellent for seawater-resistant titanium pump housings and impellers
- Chlorides, many chemicals, and brines – strong option where stainless and even some super duplex grades struggle
- Helps extend service life and cut unplanned downtime in chemical plants, offshore systems, and desalination
For broader background on how alloys are chosen for harsh environments, I also publish a detailed casting alloy guide on types, properties, and selection.
Stable at Extreme Temperatures
- Holds strength and toughness over a wide temperature range
- Performs well in hot process streams and cold service where thermal shock is a concern
- Reduces risk of distortion, creep, or cracking in demanding duty cycles
Superior Fatigue and Creep Resistance
- Handles high-cycle loading in rotating equipment like titanium centrifugal pumps
- Strong creep resistance under long-term load at elevated temperatures
- Ideal for components that see continuous operation, frequent start-stop, or pulsating pressure
Biocompatibility for Select Uses
- Certain titanium grades offer excellent biocompatibility
- Suitable when media may contact potable water or where low metal ion release is important
- Trusted material class already used in medical and implant-grade alloys, making it a safe choice for sensitive applications
Common Titanium Alloy Grades and Compositions
When we talk titanium alloys in real-world service, a few grades do almost all the heavy lifting. At vastmaterial, we focus on the workhorse alloys that US pump, valve, marine, and aerospace customers actually use day in, day out.
Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5 Titanium)
Ti-6Al-4V (Ti64 alloy, Grade 5) is the go-to alpha-beta titanium alloy when you need high strength and low weight in one package.
Why we use Grade 5 titanium for castings:
- High strength with low density for lightweight designs
- Great combination of toughness, fatigue resistance, and corrosion resistance
- Ideal for titanium pump impellers, titanium alloy pump housings, and titanium valve bodies
- Widely used as an aerospace titanium alloy and in high-performance industrial parts
This is our primary choice for precision titanium casting of complex shapes where performance and reliability matter.
Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23 Titanium)
Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) is a cleaner, extra-low interstitial version of Grade 5.
Where Grade 23 makes sense:
- When you need higher ductility and fracture toughness
- For critical or safety-related components
- For thin-wall or complex titanium alloy components that see cyclic loading
It keeps the strength of Grade 5 but adds a safety margin where failure is not an option.
Commercially Pure Titanium (Grades 1–4)
CP titanium Grades 1–4 are all about corrosion resistance over raw strength.
Best use cases:
- Aggressive seawater service and chlorides
- Chemical and desalination systems where maximum corrosion resistant titanium is needed
- Lower to medium strength parts like titanium alloy centrifugal pump casings and low-pressure titanium pump housing components
Lower grade numbers (Grade 1–2) are softer and more ductile; higher (Grade 3–4) are stronger but still very corrosion resistant.
Near-Alpha and Beta Titanium Alloys
For niche or extreme conditions, we also support near-alpha and beta titanium alloys tailored to the job.
Why choose these specialized alloys:
- Near-alpha: better high-temperature performance and creep resistance
- Beta and near-beta: higher strength, good hardenability, and excellent formability
These come into play for demanding applications similar to high-temperature alloys, where customers might otherwise look at solutions like our high-temperature alloy products.
We match each titanium grade to your exact need—whether it’s a titanium alloy impeller, titanium alloy eccentric ball valve body, or complex titanium investment casting for aggressive media and high loads.
Mechanical and Physical Properties of Titanium Alloy
Our titanium alloy castings deliver a high strength-to-weight ratio with very consistent mechanical performance across grades. Below are typical reference values for our most common alloys (room temperature, as-cast or properly heat treated):
Key Mechanical Properties (Typical Values)
| Alloy Grade | Tensile Strength (ksi) | Yield Strength (ksi) | Elongation (%) | Hardness (HRC) | Density (g/cm³) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) | 130–145 | 120–135 | 10–14 | 32–38 | ~4.43 |
| Ti-6Al-4V ELI (G23) | 120–135 | 110–125 | 12–16 | 30–36 | ~4.43 |
| CP Ti Grade 2 | 60–70 | 50–60 | 18–24 | 20–30 (HB) | ~4.51 |
| CP Ti Grade 4 | 80–95 | 70–80 | 14–18 | 25–35 (HB) | ~4.51 |
- High strength titanium (Ti-6Al-4V / Ti64 alloy) supports demanding loads with far lower weight than steel.
- Commercially pure grades deliver outstanding corrosion resistance with moderate strength and high ductility.
Thermal and Physical Behavior
- Low thermal conductivity: Reduces heat transfer in hot fluid service.
- Low thermal expansion: Helps maintain tight tolerances under temperature cycling.
- Stable at elevated temperatures: Alpha-beta titanium alloys hold strength far above typical stainless steels.
If you also work with aluminum or other alloys, you can compare these values to the typical yield strength of aluminum alloys to understand the strength advantage you gain by switching to titanium in critical pump housings, impellers, and valve bodies.
