When titanium is combined with another chemical element, the resulting product is known as a titanium alloy. Titanium alloys are necessary because in its purist form, titanium is quite reactive. The most common mixtures of titanium include iron, aluminum, molybdenum, or vanadium. Titanium alloys come in various grades of mixtures. Titanium 6AL-4V is the most common titanium alloy and is a Grade 5. It contains 90 percent titanium, followed by 6 percent aluminum and the remaining 4 percent is vanadium. This particular grade can withstand temperatures nearing 400 degrees Celsius or 752 degrees Fahrenheit! Such allows are used in materials we use every day. They are used in everything from glass frames, aircraft parts and medical replacement parts and supplies.
