Grade 23/6AL-4V Eli Sheet is ideal for surgical implants, salt water applications, and other similar applications. Like all titanium, it still provides incredible strength and durability along with a resistance to corrosives like acids and gasses. Titanium Grade 23 Eli Sheet is an alloyed Grade of Titanium. It is strengthened by the inclusion of roughly 6% Aluminum and 4% Vanadium. It is known to be of higher purity than its cousin, 6AL-4V Grade 5, because it has lower inclusions of Iron, Carbon, and Oxygen (ELI = Extra Low Interstitial). Titanium Grade 23 Eli Sheet typically comes in the annealed condition, but can be found in beta annealed condition as well. Titanium Grade 23 Eli Sheet shows high strength and toughness, as well as good corrosion resistance. As a biocompatible Grade of Titanium, it is well known for its applications in medical and dental industries. It is also found in aerospace applications.
The development of many different alloys has extended the application of titanium in industries ranging from industrial and chemical processing to power generation. This grade possesses good weldability, strength, ductility and formability.

Titanium's outstanding corrosion resistance is due to the formation of a tightly adherent oxide film on its surface. When damaged, this thin invisible layer immediately reforms, maintaining a surface which is completely resistant to corrosive attack in sea water and all natural environments. This oxide is so resistant to corrosion that titanium components often look brand new even after years of service.
