6Al-4V Titanium Round Bar, Unpolished (Mill) Finish, Annealed, MIL T-9047/AMS 4928, 0.25" Diameter, 12" Length, OnlineMetals

The grade 5 titanium round rod is annealed and unpolished, meets United States Military Standard MIL-SPEC T-9047 and SAE Aerospace Material Specifications AMS 4928 standards, and has a standard tolerance. The grade 5 titanium alloy, also known as Ti-6Al-4V, is stronger than grade 2 titanium and has both formability and corrosion resistance. The material has been annealed, a method of heating and cooling metal to modify its properties, such as increasing its formability and toughness or decreasing its strength, after it has been shaped.

Titanium is a corrosion-resistant material that has one of the highest strength-to-weight ratios of all metals. It can be alloyed with elements such as aluminum, vanadium, iron, and molybdenum to increase properties such as strength, corrosion resistance, and toughness.

Tensile strength, used to indicate the material's overall strength, is the peak stress it can withstand before it breaks. Corrosion resistance describes the material's ability to prevent deterioration caused by atmosphere, moisture, or other medium. Toughness describes the material's ability to absorb energy before breaking, while hardness (commonly measured as indentation hardness) describes its resistance to permanent surface deformation. Formability indicates how easily the material can be permanently shaped.
