The sponge is melted under vacuum (often via arc melting) to form ingots, where alloying elements (Al, V, Mo, Fe) are added. Fabrication and Manufacturing Powder Metallurgy of Titanium Alloys: A Brief Review
Excellent heat resistance for aerospace engines. Classification and Microstructure

Titanium is extracted from ore (typically rutile or ilmenite).
A high-performance version of Grade 5 with lower impurity levels, primarily used in medical and aerospace applications. Advanced Alloys: Newer The sponge is melted under vacuum (often via
Weaker but offer maximum corrosion resistance.
Highly resistant to body fluids, making them ideal for implants. where alloying elements (Al
