R56320 is a medium-strength titanium alloy containing about 3% aluminium and 2.5% vanadium (Ti-3Al-2.5V). This datasheet presents the material within the American (ASTM / ASME / UNS) standard system.
Often called the "half-alloy", R56320 is intermediate in strength between the commercially pure grades and Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5), with strength 30–50% higher than unalloyed titanium. It was developed specifically for tubing and foil because it combines this raised strength with excellent cold formability — the cold-forming characteristics that Ti-6Al-4V lacks — and it can be further strengthened by cold work. The aluminium stabilises and strengthens the alpha phase while the vanadium stabilises the beta phase, improving formability, toughness and weldability. It offers an excellent strength-to-weight ratio and the good corrosion resistance characteristic of titanium, and is readily welded by inert-gas processes.
Typical applications include aircraft hydraulic and fuel tubing, foil, honeycomb, sporting goods (bicycle frames, golf shafts), and pressure-tubing for aerospace and industrial use.

Annealed condition, per ASTM B265 for UNS R56320.
| Condition | Property | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Annealed | Tensile strength (UTS) | ≥620 MPa (90 ksi) |
| Annealed | 0.2% yield strength | ≥483 MPa (70 ksi) |

Confirm against the mill test report. Strengthened by cold work; cold-worked stress-relieved tubing has higher strength than the annealed values.
| Environment | Performance | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Atmospheric / general | Excellent | Titanium oxide film |
| Seawater / marine | Excellent | Resists chloride attack |
| Oxidizing acids | Excellent | Stable passive film |
| Chloride stress-corrosion cracking | Very Good | Generally resistant |
| Elevated temperature | Good | Useful to moderate temperatures |
Corrosion resistance is characteristic of titanium — excellent in seawater, chlorides and oxidizing media — combined with a high strength-to-weight ratio.
A medium-strength titanium alloy; primarily strengthened by cold work rather than heat treatment. Properties are set by annealing and cold work.
Anneal Anneal at approximately 650–760 °C and air cool. Cold-worked, stress-relieved tubing is given a lower-temperature stress relief (~370–480 °C). Protect from oxygen, nitrogen and hydrogen pickup at temperature.
Readily welded by inert-gas processes; the weld pool and cooling weld must be fully shielded from atmospheric contamination, which causes embrittlement. Matching filler is used.
| Welding Process | Applicability | Filler / Consumable |
|---|---|---|
| GTAW / TIG | Excellent | AWS A5.16 ERTi-9 (matching) |
| GMAW / MIG | Good | ERTi-9 |
| Automatic tube welding | Excellent | With built-in gas-purge chambers |
Use full inert-gas shielding and clean, contamination-free surfaces; avoid hydrogen, oxygen and nitrogen pickup.
Machining Guidelines
