ASTM B265 Gr5 Titanium Sheet
LINHUI TITANIUM manufactures ASTM B265 Gr5 Titanium Sheet (Ti-6Al-4V) with controlled cold rolling precision, maintaining thickness tolerance within ±0.05mm for superior forming stability. Our Grade 5 sheets deliver a minimum tensile strength of 895 MPa and yield strength of 828 MPa, with aluminum content at 5.5-6.75% and vanadium at 3.5-4.5%. Available in sheet, coil, strip, foil, and plate forms, this aerospace-grade material undergoes 100% NDT inspection to ensure zero-defect delivery. With 200+ tons in stock and production lead times of 15–25 days, we support both standard and rush orders for your critical applications.
Key Features & Benefits
High Ratio of Strength to Weight
When compared to steel, our ASTM B265 Gr5 Titanium Sheet reduces weight by 60% without sacrificing mechanical performance. This directly translates into better handling in motorsport components and fuel savings for aircraft applications.
Superior Resistance to Corrosion
You develop total resistance to oxidizing acids, chloride conditions, and saltwater. In maritime and offshore facilities, the material removes expensive maintenance cycles related to stainless steel failures.
Accurate Cold-Rolled Surface
During stamping and hydroforming operations, a thickness tolerance of ±0.05mm guarantees constant forming behavior. This accuracy cuts down on production setup times and lowers your scrap rates.

Manufacturing Process
VAR, or vacuum arc remelting
To obtain uniform microstructure and remove macro-segregation, we begin with double or triple VAR ingots.
This process removes trace impurities that could compromise fatigue performance.
Hot Rolling & Beta Forging
Ingots are heated above beta transus and hot-rolled in multiple passes. This refines grain structure and establishes favorable texture for subsequent cold work.
Cold Rolling with Intermediate Annealing
Multiple cold-rolling passes achieve final gauge. Intermediate annealing at 700–800°C relieves work hardening. Final thickness tolerance of ±0.05mm is maintained through precision roll gap control.
Solution Treatment & Aging
Sheets undergo solution treatment followed by controlled aging cycles to optimize alpha-beta phase distribution, maximizing both strength and fracture toughness.
Quality Inspection
Chemical Analysis (ASTM E1409)
Every heat lot is tested via optical emission spectroscopy to verify aluminum, vanadium, and interstitial content compliance. Hydrogen levels are confirmed below 0.015% to prevent delayed cracking.
Mechanical Testing (ASTM E8)
To verify yield strength ≥828 MPa, tensile strength ≥895 MPa, and elongation ≥10%, tensile specimens are extracted from each coil. Stress-strain curves are included in test certifications.
Completely Ultrasonic Examination
According to ASTM E1447, automated UT scanning is performed on all plates thicker than 3 mm. Laminations, inclusions, and porosity are marked and rejected before shipment.
Verification of Surface and Dimensions
Visual examination verifies the absence of contaminants, pits, and cracks. Thickness, flatness, and squareness are verified by CMM measurement against ASTM B265 tolerances.
Applications
Structural Elements of Aerospace
Our sheets are reliable for landing gear parts, nacelle parts, and fuselage skins. Aircraft weight is reduced by 15–20% because to the high specific strength, which directly increases payload capacity and fuel efficiency.
Offshore and Marine Equipment
Perfect for subsea manifold housings, riser clamps, and desalination heat exchangers. The maintenance issues associated with duplex stainless steels are eliminated by the material's resistance to crevice corrosion in stagnant seawater.
High-Performance Automotive
Our Sheet is used by motorsport teams to connect suspension links, valve springs, and rods. Sharper throttle response and greater engine RPMs are made possible by less reciprocating mass.
Equipment for Chemical Processing
used in process pipes and reactor vessels that are in contact with hot chloride solutions. The alloy resists stress corrosion cracking caused by chloride and can tolerate temperatures as high as 315°C.

FAQ
Q: What is the ASTM B265 Gr5 Titanium Sheet minimum order quantity?
A: The starting weight for stock items is 100 kg. Due to rolling mill setup requirements, custom sizes must weigh at least 500 kg per specification.
Q: Are third-party inspections and material test certificates available?
A: Yes. EN 10204 3.1 certificates with complete chemical and mechanical data are included with every shipment. You can request inspections by SGS, BV, TÜV, or other third parties.
Q: What options are there for surface finishes?
A: We provide polished (bright mirror), sandblasted, and pickled (matte gray) finishes. For bonding or coating applications, particular surface roughness requirements can be met.
Q: How can a thickness tolerance of ±0.05mm be guaranteed?
A: Laser thickness gauges with closed-loop feedback are a hallmark of our precision cold-rolling mills. Tolerance is maintained throughout the whole coil length by real-time modifications.
Q: How long does it usually take to get custom orders?
A: After order confirmation, standard production takes 15 to 25 days. Depending on the quantity and current mill schedule, rush orders may be expedited to 10–15 days.---
