For decades titanium was considered an “aerospace metal” and was used exclusively in this application. As time went on, the corrosion properties of the metal were explored in non-aerospace applications, specifically as a tubing product used in heat exchangers for power generation. This application proved to be extremely successful and the “industrial” market was created.

All of the Spears Titanium products are Grade 5, also known as Ti6Al4V, Ti-6Al-4V or Ti 6-4, is the most commonly used alloy. It has a chemical composition of 6% aluminum, 4% vanadium, 0.25% (maximum) iron, 0.2% (maximum) oxygen, and the remainder titanium. It is significantly stronger than commercially pure titanium while having the same stiffness and thermal properties (excluding thermal conductivity, which is about 60% lower in Grade 5 Ti than in CP Ti). Among its many advantages, it is heat treatable. This grade is an excellent combination of strength, corrosion resistance, weld and fabricability.
