Product Detail
Product Introduction
Source Grade 23 Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium sheet and plate for medical and aerospace production, with controlled certification. Final supply is controlled by the grade, specification revision, dimensions, condition, tolerance, inspection and documentation stated on the approved order.
How should Ti-6Al-4V ELI sheet and plate be specified?
Selection answer: Use ASTM B265 Grade 23 / UNS R56407 for the applicable annealed flat-product order. For surgical implant manufacture, invoke ASTM F136 / UNS R56401 and the required medical quality and documentation controls.
Selection boundary: Do not substitute Grade 5, ASTM B265 Grade 23 and ASTM F136 material from alloy-family similarity alone. Interstitial limits, UNS, condition, product form, testing and certificate system govern acceptance.
RFQ data to confirm: Send the exact specification and revision, UNS, product form, thickness, dimensions, condition, surface, test orientation, microstructure or NDT requirements, application, quantity and traceability for technical review.
Product Specifications
| Product | Grade 23 Ti-6Al-4V ELI Sheet & Plate | Grade | Grade 23 / Ti-6Al-4V ELI / UNS R56407 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Standard | ASTM B265 covers annealed titanium strip, sheet and plate and identifies Grade 23 Ti-6Al-4V ELI as UNS R56407. ASTM F136 covers wrought annealed Ti-6Al-4V ELI for surgical implant manufacture as UNS R56401. These are separate order descriptions; state the exact standard, revision, UNS, product form and application rather than relying only on “Grade 23” or “ELI”. | Size & Form | Sheet, plate and cut blanks; thickness and dimensions are reviewed against the RFQ |
| Tolerance | Material standard or customer drawing, including surface requirements | Supply Condition | Annealed sheet or plate with protected, traceable packaging |
| Inspection | Review the invoked standard and revision, UNS and heat identity, aluminum and vanadium plus interstitial chemistry, mechanical and metallurgical results, thickness, width, length, flatness, surface, edges and marking. For ASTM F136 work, define implant-manufacturing quality-system, microstructure, cleanliness, traceability and any customer or regulatory requirements; add UT or penetrant examination only with an agreed method and acceptance criteria. | Documents | MTC, heat/lot traceability and agreed inspection reports |

Product Packaging
Sheet and plate surfaces are interleaved or wrapped as required, protected at edges and secured on pallets or in export cases with grade, heat and dimensional identification. Typical export packaging for the same physical product form is shown below; final packing is confirmed for each order.
Application Scenarios
Medical device manufacturing
Material grade, dimensions, condition and inspection must be matched to the application requirements.
Aerospace components
Material grade, dimensions, condition and inspection must be matched to the application requirements.
High-integrity fabricated parts
Material grade, dimensions, condition and inspection must be matched to the application requirements.
FAQ
Is ASTM B265 Grade 23 the same as ASTM F136 material?
No. ASTM B265 Grade 23 is identified as UNS R56407 for strip, sheet and plate. ASTM F136 covers wrought annealed Ti-6Al-4V ELI for surgical implant manufacture as UNS R56401. Similar alloy naming does not make the specifications or certificates interchangeable.
Can Grade 23 sheet or plate be used for a medical implant?
Only when the material, product form, processing, quality system, tests and traceability meet the expressly required medical specification and regulatory controls. A generic Grade 23 or ASTM B265 certificate is not sufficient by itself.
What information is needed to quote Grade 23 sheet or plate?
Provide ASTM B265, ASTM F136 or another exact specification and revision, UNS if required, sheet, plate or cut-blank form, thickness, width, length, condition, surface, flatness, quantity, application, test orientation, NDT, MTC and traceability.
