I am not sure about Ti6...

Yves007 -- 09/11/2009 4:30 am

In that case... Ti6Al4V ELI :) At least that is what I found when looking up "surgical grade"...

Greg v -- 09/11/2009 4:09 pm

In such case, two options: Grade 5 or Grade 23

Yves007 -- 10/11/2009 4:03 am

Getting off-topic... Is 'grade 5' the same as Ti5? I use that in racing engines!
