Strength band
Ti-6Al-4V annealed ~900 MPa
Numbers below are bands used by working engineers, not live quotes. Tensile note: Ti-6Al-4V annealed ~900 MPa.
Fire performance in this atlas is editorial. Real projects need the assembly report.
Mécanique
Stiffness
Modulus follows chemistry and orientation — not the marketing nickname.
Toughness
Crack growth, not peak stress, retires most real parts.
Fatigue / creep
Cyclic and time-dependent damage dominate certificates issued on static coupons.
Hardness / hand
Indentation, drape or compressive class — whichever the trade actually measures.
Thermique
Conductivity
~22 W/m·K — Titane is not a substitute for a dedicated λ layer.
Service temperature
Melting / softening / decomposition band: 1668 °C.
Expansion
Joints and clearances must follow the expansion class of Titane, not of steel-by-habit.
Thermal mass
Density 4.51 g/cm³ sets how fast a section changes temperature.
Ageing of λ
Foams, VIPs and moist batts drift; quote aged values.
Électrique
Conductor or dielectric
Titane conducts; grade and temper still matter.
Static / EMI
Fillers and moisture change resistivity more than brochures admit.
Standards language
IACS, volume resistivity or dielectric strength — pick the quantity the job uses.
Feu
Reaction to fire
Typical declared class: A1 metal. This is not a universal passport.
Resistance vs reaction
Euroclass is reaction. EI/R ratings are assemblies — boards, coats, cavities.
Melt-drip / char
Titane tends to char or stay inorganic rather than melt-drip like commodity olefins.
Smoke / toxicity
CO, HCN, HF or fibres — the species depend on chemistry. Name the test (ISO 5659, EN 45545, NFPA 1971).
If a salesperson quotes a single “safety score”, ask which standard, which thickness, which year.
