F136 Titanium Alloy Rod
Overview
Baoji Yibaite New Materials Technology Co., Ltd. specializes in supplying ASTM F136 Ti-6Al-4V ELI titanium alloy rods for surgical implant and medical device manufacturing. The company is located in "China Titanium Valley" - Baoji, and is a high-tech enterprise dedicated to the processing and sales of titanium alloys.
ASTM F136 is the global benchmark standard for wrought Ti-6Al-4V ELI (Extra Low Interstitials) surgical implant material, specifying strictly controlled interstitial element limits to ensure maximum ductility, fracture toughness, and fatigue crack growth resistance in permanent implant applications. Our F136-certified titanium alloy rods deliver a high tensile strength (≥ 860 MPa) with superior biocompatibility and outstanding corrosion resistance in bodily fluid environments, making them the preferred starting material for CNC-machined orthopedic load-bearing implants, dental implant fixtures, spinal instrumentation, trauma fixation devices, and cardiovascular device components.
O ≤ 0.13%
Extra low oxygen for superior fracture toughness vs. standard Grade 5
UTS ≥ 860 MPa
2.5× stronger than CP Grade 2, 40% lighter than stainless steel
Microstructure
Controlled α+β grain size per F136 metallographic requirements

Testing Beyond F136 Minimums
We don't just meet F136 - we test beyond it. 100% ultrasonic inspection (not just sampling), additional Charpy impact testing on request, fatigue testing capability, and corrosion testing per ASTM F2129. Because your regulatory submission benefits from data density.
Six Reasons Device Engineers Specify F136
Biocompatibility
ISO 10993 compliant. Zero nickel - safe for 100% of patients including those with metal sensitivities. Decades of clinical evidence in permanent implants across orthopedic, dental, CMF, and spinal applications.
Fracture Toughness
ELI chemistry delivers superior KIC values vs. standard Grade 5. Lower oxygen content prevents brittle failure under cyclic loading - the #1 concern for load-bearing implants that must last 20+ years.
Strength-to-Weight
860 MPa UTS at 4.43 g/cm³. Stronger than any polymer, lighter than any metal at this strength level. Enables thinner implant designs and smaller surgical incisions.
Osseointegration
TiO₂ passive oxide promotes direct bone-to-implant contact without fibrous encapsulation. Surface treatments (SLA, anodization, hydroxyapatite coating) further enhance bone bonding.
MRI Compatibility
Non-ferromagnetic. Safe in MRI fields up to 7T. Minimal artifact on CT and fluoroscopy - enabling clear post-operative imaging for clinical follow-up without implant interference.
