Grade 23 Titanium Plate | Ti-6Al-4V ELI Plate
Grade 23 titanium plate, also known as Ti-6Al-4V ELI plate, for medical-related, aerospace-related and precision industrial components. RFQs should specify ASTM or AMS requirement, thickness, width, length, tolerance, condition, surface finish and inspection documents.

Acceptance is by the ordered standard. Values are typical references only. Final chemical composition, mechanical properties, inspection scope and documentation are confirmed by the purchase specification and mill test certificate.
Grade 23 Titanium Plate for Precision Industrial Requirements
Grade 23 plate runs in the Beiyu Titanium supply ranges at 0.5 mm to 3 mm thick in widths to 1500 mm for thin plate and sheet, and at 3 mm to 70 mm thick in widths to 2500 mm and lengths to 6000 mm for plate. What separates Grade 23 from Grade 5 on the order is the chemistry and the mechanical minimums rather than the dimensional rows: ASTM B265 carries the extra-low interstitial limits on the mill-product route, and the implant route is ordered as UNS R56401 to ASTM F136, with its own acceptance scope.
Grade 23 titanium plate is Ti-6Al-4V ELI, an extra-low-interstitial version of Grade 5 titanium alloy. Buyers specify Grade 23 when the drawing, customer specification or application requires tighter chemistry control than standard Grade 5. It is often requested for medical-related components, aerospace-related parts, precision machined plates and high-value industrial components.
The material should be quoted according to the exact standard, condition and acceptance requirement. Do not substitute Grade 5 and Grade 23 without buyer approval, because the chemistry and project qualification route may differ.
Grade and Standards
- Material: Grade 23 titanium / Ti-6Al-4V ELI / UNS R56407 to ASTM B265, or UNS R56401 when ASTM F136 is specified.
- Possible references: ASTM B265 for plate, ASTM F136 for implant-related material when specified, or AMS specification required by the buyer.
- Condition: annealed or project-specified heat treatment condition.
- Surface: pickled, polished, machined or project-specified finish.
Dimensions and Processing
RFQs should include thickness, width, length, tolerance, flatness, cut-to-size requirement and surface condition. If the plate will be machined, formed, polished or used for a regulated application, include the drawing notes and document requirements before quotation.
Applications
Grade 23 titanium plate may be used for medical-related components, surgical instrument blanks, aerospace-related parts, precision fixtures, lightweight structures and drawing-based machined components. The final acceptance route depends on the buyer's specification and quality system.
Inspection and Documentation
Buyers may request MTC, EN10204 3.1 documentation, heat number traceability, chemical composition, mechanical properties, dimensional inspection, ultrasonic testing, PMI testing or third-party inspection. Medical-related use should be controlled by the buyer's specification and regulatory process.
Packing and RFQ Checklist
Grade 23 plate should be packed to protect surfaces and maintain heat identification. Paper separation, protective film, pallet packing or wooden cases can be used depending on size and finish. Send grade, standard, condition, dimensions, tolerance, quantity, surface finish, inspection and document requirements.
FAQ
What is Grade 23 titanium plate?
Grade 23 is Ti-6Al-4V ELI, an extra-low-interstitial titanium alloy used when the buyer's specification requires it.
Is Grade 23 the same as Grade 5?
No. Both are Ti-6Al-4V alloys, but Grade 23 has ELI chemistry requirements and should not be substituted without approval.
What documents are usually requested?
Common requests include MTC, chemistry, mechanical properties, heat traceability and dimensional inspection. Additional testing should be specified in the RFQ.
Procurement Notes for Grade 23 Plate
Grade 23 titanium plate is often purchased for parts where material traceability and chemistry control matter. Buyers should state whether the plate will be used for prototype machining, validated production, medical-related tooling or aerospace-related hardware. That context helps define documentation, packing and inspection expectations.
If the plate will be cut into blanks, include blank size, cutting tolerance, surface protection and whether all blanks must remain from the same heat. For finished machined parts, send drawings with datum surfaces, hole features and final inspection notes.
RFQ checklist: Grade 23 / Ti-6Al-4V ELI, standard, condition, thickness, cut size, flatness, surface finish, quantity, heat traceability, inspection documents and export packing requirement.
RFQ Details for Grade 23 Plate
For Grade 23 titanium plate enquiries, useful purchasing details include plate thickness, width and length, annealed condition, required standard such as ASTM F136 or AMS 4907 where applicable, and whether ultrasonic inspection, PMI, or EN10204 3.1 documentation is required. If the plate will be machined into implants or aerospace components, note the drawing tolerance and any surface allowance needed before final machining.

Specification detail with sources
ASTM B265-25 sets Grade 23 annealed flat product minimums at 828 MPa tensile and 759 MPa yield, below Grade 5 at 895 MPa and 828 MPa, while Grade 23 tightens oxygen to 0.13 percent maximum and iron to 0.25 percent maximum versus 0.20 and 0.40 percent for Grade 5. Those chemistry limits identify the ELI variant; they do not by themselves establish suitability for an implant or cryogenic design.
For Grade 23 plate, the governing specification must be named because the B-series mill-product route uses UNS R56407, while ASTM F136 implant material uses R56401 and a different acceptance scope. Beiyu asks the buyer to provide the drawing and ordered standard before quotation, so chemistry, mechanical, inspection and certificate scope are reviewed against that exact route.
Specification for Grade 23 Ti-6Al-4V ELI plate and sheet
These are the fields an order line needs. Minimum values shown are those of ASTM B265 in the annealed condition. Where the order calls for another condition, the figures come from that row of the standard instead.

The envelope above is the production capability. It does not mean every combination of grade, condition, surface, tolerance and inspection is available across the whole range, and it is not a stock statement. The ordered combination is confirmed at quotation.
Inspection and documentation
The inspection scope is set by the order rather than assumed. State which examinations are required, to which acceptance standard and class, and at which stage they are performed, because those four fields are what make an inspection line objectively verifiable during receiving inspection.
