TS6 (Тс6)
TS6 Titanium Alloy for Thermal Equipment and Heavy-Duty Industrial Parts
TS6 Titanium is a high-strength alpha–beta titanium alloy engineered for demanding engineering applications where both strength and corrosion resistance matter. It is commonly selected for thermal equipment, high-load industrial parts, and systems exposed to aggressive environments. Russian Metals supports TS6 requirements with supply options across common product forms used in fabrication and machining.

| Vanadium (V) | 3.5% – 4.5% |
| Oxygen (O) | Max 0.20% |
| Iron (Fe) | Max 0.30% |
| Carbon (C) | Max 0.08% |
What is TS6 Titanium?
TS6 Titanium is an alloy system based on titanium with strengthening additions that improve mechanical performance while maintaining strong corrosion resistance. It is used in applications where components face repeated stress, temperature variation, and corrosive media—such as thermal equipment assemblies, chemical processing hardware, and high-strength structural parts.
In a quenched and aged condition, TS6 is associated with very high strength values, which is why it is chosen for compact, weight-sensitive designs. In many engineering cases, this strength is achieved with a trade-off in ductility, so the final condition should be selected based on fabrication, forming, and service requirements.

Key Features and Benefits of TS6 Titanium
- High Strength: Suitable for compact, high-load parts used in thermal systems and heavy engineering, supporting strong performance under stress.
- Corrosion Resistance: Performs well in corrosive environments, including chemical exposure and marine atmospheres, helping extend service life.
- Lightweight: Titanium’s low density helps reduce overall weight while maintaining strength, useful for mobility, efficiency, and structural optimization.
- Thermal Stability: Maintains mechanical properties under elevated temperatures, supporting use in heat exchangers and thermal equipment components.
- Fatigue Resistance: Helps withstand cyclic loading in parts exposed to vibration, rotation, or repeated stress cycles.
- Weldability: Supports fabrication workflows where welded assemblies are needed, with the right procedures and process controls.
