Some buyers need it because a drawing calls out ASTM F136 \u2014 a surgical implant material specification with strict chemical, mechanical, metallurgical, and traceability requirements. Others need it because they simply want the lower-interstitial, higher-toughness version of Ti-6Al-4V for a cryogenic, marine, or aerospace fitting, and they&#8217;re using &#8220;Grade 23&#8221; as shorthand without any implant intent at all.<\/p>\n<p>Both are legitimate, but they are not the same product, and a supplier who blurs the line is doing the buyer a disservice. This article explains what ELI titanium actually is, how the commercial-industrial route (ASTM B348 Grade 23 bar) differs from the surgical-implant route (ASTM F136), what the composition and mechanical data really mean, and what you should confirm before you place an order \u2014 regardless of which route your project needs.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone  wp-image-19253\" src=\"https:\/\/daxuns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a181b6e-aeaf-4cdd-b86f-e3c4331e37dc.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"813\" height=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/daxuns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a181b6e-aeaf-4cdd-b86f-e3c4331e37dc.jpg 650w, https:\/\/daxuns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/3a181b6e-aeaf-4cdd-b86f-e3c4331e37dc-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>What Is Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Grade 23) Titanium Bar?<\/h2>\n<p>Ti-6Al-4V ELI is the extra-low-interstitial version of the standard Ti-6Al-4V (Grade 5) alloy. &#8220;ELI&#8221; refers to tighter limits on oxygen, iron, and other interstitial elements compared to regular Grade 5. Lower interstitial content generally improves ductility, fracture toughness, and damage tolerance, while reducing the strengthening effect provided by oxygen \u2014 which is exactly why the alloy is used both in demanding structural applications and in the human body.<\/p>\n<p>Two ASTM specifications cover materials with this composition, and buyers need to know which one their project actually requires:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>ASTM B348<\/strong> \u2014 covers <a href=\"https:\/\/daxuns.com\/tr\/grade-23-titanium-alloy-rod-and-bar\/\">Grade 23 titanium bar<\/a> and billet for general industrial, aerospace, and marine use (UNS R56407).

If your project is medical and implant-facing, the material must be ordered, tested, and certified against F136 itself \u2014 not assumed equivalent because the grade name matches.<\/p>\n<h3>ASTM F136 vs. Grade 23 (ASTM B348) \u2014 Quick Comparison<\/h3>\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th><\/th>\n<th>ASTM F136<\/th>\n<th>Grade 23 (ASTM B348)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Main use<\/td>\n<td>Surgical implant<\/td>\n<td>Industrial, aerospace, marine<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>UNS number<\/td>\n<td>R56401<\/td>\n<td>R56407<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Product form covered<\/td>\n<td>Wrought bar, wire, strip, sheet, plate, forging bar (implant route)<\/td>\n<td>Bar and billet<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Certification route<\/td>\n<td>Material certification route: implant-oriented chemical, mechanical, metallurgical, and traceability requirements<\/td>\n<td>General industrial mill certification<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Traceability<\/td>\n<td>Heat and lot traceability required by the applicable specification and quality system<\/td>\n<td>Specification- and customer-dependent<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Typical buyers<\/td>\n<td>Medical device manufacturers, orthopedic OEMs<\/td>\n<td>Aerospace, marine, and general engineering buyers<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>This table is a quick-reference summary, not a substitute for the full standard text \u2014 always confirm the exact clause against the current paid edition of F136 or B348 for a live order.<\/p>\n<h2>Key Specifications<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ala\u015f\u0131m<\/strong>: Ti-6Al-4V ELI<\/li>\n<li><strong>UNS designation<\/strong>: R56401 for ASTM F136 wrought implant material; R56407 for ASTM B348 Grade 23 bar and billet<\/li>\n<li><strong>Common descriptions<\/strong>: Ti-6Al-4V ELI; &#8220;Grade 23&#8221; is the name commonly used for the ASTM B348 industrial bar route, not for ASTM F136 itself<\/li>\n<li><strong>Standart<\/strong>: ASTM F136 (surgical implant) or ASTM B348 (industrial bar and billet), depending on end use<\/li>\n<li><strong>Durum<\/strong>: ASTM F136 implant material is normally supplied wrought annealed.
