Titanium 6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitials), widely recognized as Grade 23 titanium, is the industry standard for life-critical and high-stress applications. Engineered for environments that demand both exceptional fracture toughness and superior damage tolerance, this premium alloy offers a more resilient alternative to standard Grade 5 titanium.
As a trusted source for medical grade titanium sheet, we manufacture and supply materials that strictly comply with ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3 specifications. Our stringent production process ensures precise control over interstitial elements (such as oxygen, carbon, and iron), resulting in unmatched biocompatibility, corrosion resistance, and fatigue strength.
Whether your engineering project requires reliable raw materials for orthopedic implants, high-precision CNC machining, or specialized surgical instruments, our ASTM F136 titanium sheet solutions are built to perform. From ultra-thin foils (≥0.025mm) to robust plates, we deliver the exact specifications you need to drive your innovation forward.
The designation “ELI” stands for Extra Low Interstitials. By strictly limiting the presence of interstitial elements—specifically oxygen (max 0.13%), carbon, nitrogen, and iron—during the melting process, Grade 23 titanium achieves specialized physical and mechanical properties that standard Grade 5 (Ti-6Al-4V) simply cannot match.
This highly purified matrix makes it the ultimate material of choice for applications where failure is not an option.
For the medical and dental device industries, patient safety and material compatibility are non-negotiable.
Maximum Biocompatibility: The ultra-pure composition significantly minimizes the risk of allergic reactions or tissue rejection by the human body.
Superior Osseointegration: The material’s unique surface characteristics encourage natural bone tissue to grow and bond directly to the implant, making it ideal for long-term or permanent medical implants.
MRI Compatibility: Being entirely non-magnetic, Grade 23 titanium is fully safe for patients who may require Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans post-surgery.
While standard Grade 5 titanium offers high tensile strength, the ELI variant is intentionally engineered to enhance ductility and toughness.
As a direct supplier and processor of medical and aerospace materials, we understand that standard sizes do not always fit specialized engineering needs. Our flexible manufacturing and cutting capabilities are designed to accommodate a wide spectrum of requirements, from high-volume production runs to bespoke R&D projects.

For medical device manufacturers and aerospace engineers, verifiable material data is everything. Our Titanium Grade 23 (Ti-6Al-4V ELI) sheets and plates are rigorously tested to ensure they meet, and often exceed, the stringent requirements of ASTM F136 and ISO 5832-3 standards for surgical implant applications.
Every shipment is accompanied by a comprehensive EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate (MTC), providing 100% traceability from the raw titanium sponge to the finished product.
The true value of Grade 23 lies in its chemical purity. Below is the strict chemical composition limit we adhere to. Notice the significantly lower allowance for Oxygen (O) and Iron (Fe) compared to standard Grade 5 titanium, which is the key to its superior ductility and fracture toughness.

Due to its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and unparalleled human tissue compatibility, our Grade 23 titanium sheet is the foundational material for numerous critical industries. Typical applications include:
Orthopedic Implants: Joint replacements (hip, knee, and shoulder), trauma fixation devices, and bone plates / bone screws.
Dental Applications: Maxillofacial frameworks, orthodontic anchors, and dental implants requiring long-term osseointegration.
Cranial & Surgical: Cranial meshes, spinal fusion cages, and high-precision surgical instruments.
Aerospace & High-Tech: Critical structural components, aerospace fasteners, and cryogenic vessels where extreme fracture toughness is mandated.
When procuring industrial materials, making the right technical and commercial decisions is critical. Here are some of the most common questions our clients ask regarding our pure titanium plates:
The primary difference lies in the purity of the alloy. Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) has significantly lower limits for interstitial elements—specifically oxygen (max 0.13%) and iron (max 0.25%)—compared to standard Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5). This reduction in oxygen slightly lowers absolute tensile strength but dramatically improves ductility, fracture toughness, and fatigue resistance, making ELI mandatory for medical implants and high-stress aerospace parts.
Yes. We understand that R&D and precision machining projects often require non-standard dimensions. In addition to standard full-size sheets and plates, we offer bespoke cutting services. We can supply custom size titanium grade 23 plates, including rectangular blanks, square cuts, and small pieces, all machined to your specific dimensional tolerances to minimize your material waste.
Absolutely. Quality assurance is our top priority. Every batch of our medical grade titanium sheet comes with a complete EN 10204 3.1 Mill Test Certificate (MTC). This provides full traceability of the chemical composition and mechanical properties back to the original titanium ingot. Additional third-party testing, such as Microstructure inspection and Ultrasonic testing (UT), is available upon request.
