American Elements specializes in producing Titanium 6AL-4V (Grade 5) as rolled foils and sheets in thicknesses as low as 0.005" with a tolerance of +/- 0.0002". Piece sizes are available up to approximately 7" maximum width. Maximum lengths of about 20" can be obtained with a nominal thickness between about 0.005" and 0.020". Materials are produced using crystallization, solid state and other ultra high purification processes such as sublimation. American Elements specializes in producing custom compositions for commercial and research applications and for new proprietary technologies. American Elements also casts any of the rare earth metals and most other advanced materials into rod, bar or plate form, as well as other machined shapes and through other processes such as nanoparticles (See also application discussion at Nanotechnology Information and at Quantum Dots) and in the form of solutions and organometallics.

Due to its high strength, toughness at extreme temperatures, corrosion resistance and low weight, Titanium 6AL/4V (titanium-aluminum-vanadium alloy) is the most widely used titanium alloy. It accounts for almost 50% of all alloys used in aircraft applications. Titanium 6Al-4V foil has important uses in numerous military applications, spacecraft, armor plating, naval ships, electronics, missiles, medical devices, premium sports equipment and consumer electronics.

Titanium 6AL-4V foils are available in bulk quantities as well as laboratory quantities for university and corporate R&D applications.
